Help with my PC?

Hi guys I know this doesn't have anything to do with this website but I kinda need help and I don't know any other site so yeah
I have a 2GB RAM Intel Core Duo 2.93GHz and 2.86GHz Im running Windows 8 Consumer Preview and Mac OS X Lion inside Virtual machine on VMware workstation 8 anywho Im planning on buying extra 4GB of RAM for better proformance and I was wondering can I add extra processor too like Intel Core i5 (dual Core) or another Intel Core Duo.
So guys what do you think I need help and I'm sorry if that was of topic but I need help
And do you have another suggestions for better hardware.
THANK YOU.

Moved to off topic.

You can have only one processor at a time (usually, I've seen freak motherboards that support 2 CPUs), also, you have a C2D which is a different socket than an i5, so even if you buy a new CPU, you would need a new motherboard. Also for the ram, make sure you have enough slots for it, and make sure you get the correct one. If you have no idea what I'm talking about go to a computer repair shop, they'll do everything you want to do.

Thanks, I can add up to 6GB of RAM so yeah I'm covered on that part but do you think I need a newer processor or will the core duo and the 6GB of RAM would be enough to run both OS' smoothly?

Since you arent running them at the same time it should be good. I have 8gb RAM, and C2D CPU and windows & runs good, and W8 uses less resources.

I'm gonna run Mac OS X Lion in virtual machine on VMware Workstation 8 does 2GB or 3GB and a single 2.93GHz core on the virtual machine enough to run it inside VMware smoothly?

Yes, you should be fine, but don't think you wil use it for heavy video processing or something.

No, I'll just be using Mac OS X Lion for some apps and internet browsing. Maybe a movie rarely.
Thank you so much sir you really helped me.

Pi as an Android extension board?

Hi guys, the Raspberry Pi project really got me interested cause of a long time hobby dream project of giving my Note arms and legs (sensors and functions). Is the raspberry pi capable of doing stuff like the Google Arduino Board or the Sparkfun IOIO? Thanks!

There is an extension board made for the RPi called the Gertboard http://www.newark.com/jsp/search/pr...e&utm_source=AskAndAnswer&utm_content=Default it would be perfect for trying to give your note external sensors and functions. It would probably require a some hardware tinkering and hacking to get things perfect but go for it .

Oh.. So how do I interface the Pi with my phone?

I would check out the AOA (Android Open Accessory) library https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.full another alternative that would probably work better is the AlaMode Arduino shield http://www.makershed.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=MKWY1&Click=37845 and the Arduino commander app http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...oIDwBg&usg=AFQjCNFkLAM1wJVlElT7aepVcGvKxq3U6g.

Do yourself a favor and go to http://www.adafruit.com
They have everything imaginable for the pi. I just got the proto board and nfc breakout board along with fddi so I can get it interfaced with my Android devices. There also a little cheaper than Newark cause they get a lot of their products from adafruit. For the basics you can get a cobbler, it should come with the gpio cable and breadboard etc.

Also, check out the Learning System at learn.adafruit.com. It has some projects you can do with your pi.

Ubuntu on N7 - Post your program experiences here (?)

As the title suggests. I'm interested to hear what people have installed and got successfully running the Ubuntu install on the Nexus 7. Is there a spreadsheet anywhere that outlines compatible and experiences?
Ideally, wanting to know if anyone's been using Eclipse with any other plugins (specifically anyone tried FDT would be cool)
Cheers

Keep in mind you can't run x_86 applications on an ARM device... so I don't know if eclipse will work at all, me being oblivious to whether or not they'd have an ARM version.

You mean on the computer or tablet?

I see that there's an armhf Raring compile of Eclipse > https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/raring/armhf/eclipse
I suppose if you want to get even more pedantic and specific, I was ultimately wondering if you could also hook up another Android phone via OTG usb, then with Eclipse and FDT you could compile out Captive runtime Air?
I know I'll probably get shot down in flames with a "why don't you just get a laptop", and I am contemplating that too, but ideally I want/need to get a a tablet so the N7 is looking more likely. Tbh, I'll probably use Android more, but potential dual booting with Ubuntu functionality would be the icing the cake.

Been testing ubuntu using multirom. It's nice to have but I still feel that it needs to be more tab friendly and a few bugs ironed out. Boots quick and looks nice. I have also tested bohdi linux and that works well too. In time ubuntu will be a winner on the nexus 7 I think.

I've found that most usb devices work on Raspbian, when you buy the Pi pay the extra 5 bucks for the "noobs" micro sdcard. It is great for people just starting out, has all the OS choices on it and does everything for you and it's only 5 bucks.

Or just get a blank SD card and download noobs and write it to the card.

[Q] Ubuntu Touch Atrix HD

Okay.
Has anyone actually gotten Ubuntu touch working on the atrix HD?
They have it running on the similar moto devices like the razr and stuff. So....?
Thanks, this would be really cool if anyone could come out and say it works.

Tried it a month ago... it baaaaaaaaaarely works... the one compiled for our phone is all but a proof of concept. Avoid it.

What do you mean barely works?
And okay, guess I won't get to use the whole Ubuntu phone to Ubuntu PC sync thingy

I didn't even get wifi to work. No data, no market, battery drain like crazy, you name it. Other phones probably have it better but not the msm8960 chipset we have.

Do you have a link for the matrix HD build
