First, there is no such thing as a "Compaq 850 Intel chip". These are
only Intel chips inside a compaq PC. And you should damnwell know that.

I'm beginning to wonder what on earth you are meaning with "chip".
Mainboard chipset?
CPU?

Do you realize how many "chips" are in your computer? What you are
talking about is a CPU not a "chip"!

Please do not assume the intelligence of 99% of PC users. For most of
them it should be clear what their ARCH is. In your case
it is Intel x86 what you should have known
already.

See my other mail. GO AND BUY SuSE, Mandrake or *whatever*. They are
beginner friendly, easy to install and configure. Debian is not.

RTFM then. Last time i checked the documentation on Debian.org was
excellent.

Dude! The CPU's you list are x86. There is a damn x86 link above so wtf?
If *you* do not
know what x86 is that's your problem not ours. 

You appear to be absolutely clueless in PC things to me. Why on earth
would you want to run Linux? Because it's l33t?

Because it's Linux. No Clicky-Clicky installation here. You'll have to
use you brain.

If you are to lazy that's you fault.

*sigh*

If you are not willing to learn, stay with Windows.
