My friend just moved into a new apartment complex and they provide wifi for their residents but the coverage sucks in his apartment. He can only get a decent signal in the one corner of his place. Is there a way to use an old linksys WRT54g router to "extend" the network and provide better...

That's perfect, thanks for that. What is the visual difference between high and ultra if you don't mind?

How so? Am I not going to see a difference with my current rig and resolution? I want to run everything at max settings.

Sweet, thanks for the info. :thumbsup:

Looking to pick up a 560ti to get by playing BF3 and Skyrim until I can build a new rig. I have my q6600 at 3.2ghz. Think I'll be ok or bottlenecked? I'll be playing at 1680x1050.

I want to pick up a 560ti to throw in the system in my sig to play this and skyrim. Do you think I'll be ok with the rest of the system and just the new vidcard? I'll be playing at 1680x1050.

A mix of XP and Win7.

I used this already on a couple of machines that were giving me problems with the http://connect app and it doesn't provide a way to rename the local folder afaik. It works great to reassociate the domain account with the local folder though.

So we recently upgraded our server at work and moved to a domain from a workgroup. I migrated all the existing local user accounts to be associated with the new domain accounts which is all well and good, but the local profile folder is still named the same as the old local user account. Is...

Thanks for the input. I don't really mind if it's used or not. I guess a better question would be what GPU is going to max out my CPU but not be overkill? I'm willing to spend a couple hundred bucks, maybe a little more.

I'm looking to pick up a vidcard to get me by until I build a new rig at the beginning of next year. I'd like to be good to play mw3, deus ex and skyrim. My current rig is in my sig, and I was thinking of picking up a 560ti. Does this sound good? Any specific card or just the cheapest one?

I'll go with 29" then. I read that with the threaded holes you need an adapter for the Dell ready rails. I'll contact them to confirm. Thanks again.

Excellent, thanks so much. It's a 4 post threaded hole rack. Our current server and other equipment in the old crappy rack is all cantilevered. I'll be moving that stuff, but we're probably getting a new Dell R510 or R610 server. So 29" would be good, or is that just minimum? Could I go a little...

Not sure where else to put this - I'm putting together the server rack for our new office space and I'm wondering if there is a standard or most common depth for a server rack. It is adjustable from 24"-36". I know most components have rails that are adjustable to accommodate different depths...
