No, not literally Newegg Canada. There's another Canadian company (it's a four letter acronym) that, before Newegg expanded to Canada, was the only good option. Edit: Actually I'm a little curious exactly what happened to make the [H] so mad.

Yeah, I was looking at probably an i5-2400 because that's the minimum where you get the VT-d. I like that build, actually. You're right about the Intel NICs. I have a PCI and a PCI-E Intel gigabit NIC in the server right now. As for the PSU...maybe they're better now, but I still refuse to...

Fair enough.

Thanks for all the input everyone. I guess it's a given that I'll be going with Sandy Bridge then, unless the Xeons and their associated mobos can tempt me. But from what I remember last time I looked at supermicro boards, they're expensive. (I have a supermicro SC743 chassis and powersupply...

Basically I'm looking to build a new server for myself. My current server is in my sig. The processor is starting to not really cut it. Most of the time this thing's just a file (and torrent) server, but it does web/application hosting, some audio transcoding for streaming, runs several VMs...

So I've been out of the game for a little while, but my 8800GTX is now dead and I need to find a replacement. I haven't been following graphics cards lately, so I'm hoping you guys can give me a push in the right direction. What modern card does the 8800GTX compare to? I assume I shouldn't...

I'm working on a project and I have a query i want to do on the database. I know how I could accomplish what i want using a couple queries and some php, but I much rather accomplish this task in one query. I have a table like so: mysql> select * from ingredients_link...

Thanks for the reply. That's the correct part, yes. Unfortunately I had already figured it out, fairchild has a part marking search on their website. You may be happy to know I replaced the part and all is well....I friggen hate desoldering SMT packages though.

Could someone please help me determine what this part is? U5 in the images below Z84B is what it says on the top (90% sure using magnifying glass) Some background: The two traces that go to the header connect to the header as you would expect. The header itself connects to an...

I'm not using Windows as a router, I don't want to. I just want the server to have direct access to both networks.

Could you be slightly more specific? I don't see any per interface area.

The new 2008/Vista firewall seems like a good idea, but it doesn't work the way I would expect it to...that, or I don't know how to use it. Here is what I'm trying to do: I have a 2008 machine with two network interfaces. One of them is connected directly to the internet, the other is...

I was worried that might be what you meant... Your wording was kind of ambiguous. ...I don't think there is an answer for you then, unfortunately. Have you tried upgrading the firmware? Although I have no reason to believe they added that.

Okay, now I have the GS724T, but I assume it's the same. - Go to the VLAN settings page - Create a new VLAN (drop down menu > Add new VLAN) - Change to the settings page for that VLAN (drop down menu > your vlan ID) - Click on the white boxes for the ports that you want on this VLAN. I...

Do you still have them? do you want me to tell you how? It's not that hard.
