Yes.

Why would you do that? The high-end graphics card could do both.

This.

Only time a person would use multi-cards is because they either want SLI or Crossfire, more multi-monitor setup, and/or run ATI cards with a NVIDIA card for NVIDIA physx.

I knew that, but R9930's reasoning was none of those things.

Hybrid crossfire could do that. It's mainly used for saving energy. The onboard graphics for basics like internet and word and a separate card for games. They can work together so it's a bit faster. Although it only works for older GPUs so it's a bit useless.

Actually I was telling him that. When I quoted you, I agreed with what you said by saying "This". Then I went off to explaining in further detail so he'd know more.

I got WVista 64-bit that plays R2, but the graphics on RM and R3 is all black and grays. Nvidia Geforce 6.

Are you sure you have the games' graphics settings correct?

Posted: **Sat Feb 06, 2010 2:56 am**

Yes. I see all black on the RM menu. The main menu on R3 is fine, but the game is horrible.

How did you get the installer to run?

I'll check it out.

For those who would like to learn how a computer works, you should get into Assembly and C programming, and write a simple operating system ( believe me, writing a simple operating system is easier then it sounds if you have learned Assembly and C programming well ).

First, you'll need Linux. Yes, I know, this sounds like a filthy advertisement, but honestly, so many books on Assembly assume Linux. If you only want to program in Linux, consider running it in a VM ( VirtualBox is free and very good ). I recommend running the Debian stable distribution with the XFCE or LXDE window manager in your VM and assign about 384 MB of RAM to it ( 256 MB is also enough to run it good, 192 MB is enough to run it but it will be quite sluggish ).

Then grab a copy of Programming from the ground up. ( Don't worry, it's free and good ).

Then, after you've mastered Assembly programming you should master C programming ( C is like the English of programming ). These tutorials will learn you enough.

After that, head on over to the OSDev wiki and write yourself a nice little operating system to understand how your hardware and your operating system work. It doesn't need to do much, just write a working kernel, a shell which can accept user input and can run user space programs and a little API ( for example for the C programming language, things like malloc, calloc, realloc, printf, scanf, etc... )

Congratulations, you can call yourself an amateur computer scientist now

I think that will be a software related issue rather then a hardware related one.

Oh, i forgot to say, if you can't or don't want to get Linux, you can also use Cygwin for UNIX C programming.

No double posting!

I have Linux, but this special version I've got works like Windows.

Posted: **Mon Feb 08, 2010 11:55 pm**

What is the name of it?

Kubuntu 9.10

Even if it looks like Windows, it's still basically Linux, and will work with what Josh said.

Posted: **Tue Feb 09, 2010 12:06 am**

I'll look at it, but how do you access it to start programming or such.

Got it.

But it's on a separate computer. I got a W98SE, Linux, and WVista. It's kind of messed up.

You call that messed up? You should see my rig.
