Backup of this size is important. Im currently building matching 5 terrabyte servers for a client. One for storage, the other is a mirror. We project they will need another 3 terrabytes by mid 2008. Being able to backup the stuff onto these platters would be great, instead of adding...

Great, thanks.

to power 10 sata drives? Basically, thats the question. A core2duo machine with 10 sata drives. is this : http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16817371001 enough to power what i need? Thanks

I did some cs:s testing with my p4 3.8 and 1950pro system. At 3.8, there was little difference between 1024x768 and 1600x1200, 2xmsaa 4xaf. However at 4.2GHz+, I started seeing a larger performance delta between the two. The 1900xt is a better card than the 1950pro. I think you'd have to be...

I just had the opportunity of playing with an 8600gts a little bit. Fantastic little card. It was the MSI Silent thingamabob. No fan. the heatpipe and fins did get very hot during 3d stuff, but never artifacted or got screwey. Seemed to be a bit faster than my 1950pro, though higher msaa, af...

Looks like I'll be holding onto the 1950pro and 1900xtx a bit longer.

Again, what OS, and what processes are nailing your CPU?

Many games will perform similarly on a 1950pro whether on a p4 3.8 or an x6800. Framerates will be different, but not noticeably different.

what os is that you are running? whats taking 100% cpu usage there?

I do a lot of work on 2 machines. one is C2D X6800 @ 3.0GHz 2gb RAM x1900xtx 512mb The other is P4 @ 4.0GHz 2gb RAM x1950pro 256mb Here's the deal. For everyday computing, there is no discernable difference. For games, there is a difference, but it's mostly due to the...

Well, I disabled the NV SATA/RAID shit, and installed a PCI adaptec SATA/RADI controller. The LAN on the board is NOT NV, its broadcom(?) GB LAN. Still happens...

I'll take a look at the PSU, but it's a server class PSU. Let me elaborate on this. Machine was corrupting the OS, and slowly destroying the exchange database. Turned off the onboard nVidia sata raid controller. Installed a PCI adaptec sata raid controller. Installed 2 new WD 250gb...

OK folks, I have replaced the mobo with the same model, changed the ram, used a different raid controller, and different harddrives. It still starts giving me ntfs errors and data corruption. Any ideas?

Thanks for the confirmation. Even their main site is down.

Anyone else use iPowerWeb for hosting? They appear down from where I'm at. Anyone else able to get to them?
