    Anything I'm overlooking with a file server with six 2TB drives?

    Between motherboard (4 connections) and sata card( another 2-4) I should be set for a while. For optical drive I could use the IDE slot the mobo has. Looked at PCI express sata cards and their price jumps to $50-100 for a 4x. At that range, my other option of just getting a motherboard with 6 or...

    Mind game: How many golf balls can you fit in a VW Bug

    Any good business sims?

    Thanks for pointing this game out, I see that a new version was just released a few months ago. I think I tried X3 for a bit (actually I did, it's in my steam account heh), but I didn't play it enough to realize there was a whole trading/business empire aspect to it. I'm downloading X3: Terran...

    Any good business sims?

    I never got into the roller coaster tycoon series, looked like it was geared more towards children with much focus on design of the rides and amusement park. Same thing goes with "The Movies", focus on making a movie and adding more sets and other buildings to your studio. I actually did like...

    Any good business sims?

    I've always liked games like Railroad Tycoon that had a great in depth business simulation. I'm downloading Capitalism 2 since it seems to be one of the classics in this genera, but was wondering if there's anything that has been released recently or is slated to be released with similar game play?

    New GPU core causing EUEs

    I had the same issue today while using my 4870x2 in vista 64-bit. I read on some other forum that changing the compatibility mode to XP SP3 would get rid of the EUE errors. Making that change seemed to work for me.

    4870x2 off eBay listed as new came in open box, red flag?

    I'm installing Vista, drivers, etc.. as we speak. After that I'll install crysis and see how this card handles it. Besides playing games, or game benchmark, are there any programs for graphics cards like memtest86?
