    Slow performance on a MD3000i iSCSI SAN

    Well, it seems that my testing methodology may be flawed, so now I am sheepishly wondering if: A) I am inventing my own problems and B) what the proper testing methodology of a SAN is. Here's the background. To test the MD3000i, both before and after, I've been using IOMeter. I removed all...

    Slow performance on a MD3000i iSCSI SAN

    Hello all, I recently reconfigured our MD3000i, and am having some performance issues. The device contains 16 1TB SAS drives, and one controller. The controller has two iSCSI ports, one of which is 10.0.1.1 and the other is 10.0.2.1. On my servers, I am running Windows 2008 R2, with two...

    To SLI or not to SLI?

    Well I pulled the trigger on getting a single 8800GT and a new Corsair 520HX power supply (the latter of which is unrelated to this thread but trust me, my current PSU is horrible) Based on everything said here and everything I've read elsewhere I'll definitely see a decent gain out of the...

    To SLI or not to SLI?

    You know, come to think of it right now with the 4800+ and x1900xtx pairing I know that my current bottleneck is the video card. The 8800GT is a DX10 card and going off some benchmarks I just found it outperforms a x1950xtx by about 25% nearly across the board. With a 4800+ and 8800GT...

    To SLI or not to SLI?

    2Gb of Corsair DDR2 RAM, though I forget the speeds. I've already begun to do my own research after I posted last and I'm looking at the Q6600. Do you have any thoughts as to a specific motherboard you would recommend? I haven't got that far yet in my research.

    To SLI or not to SLI?

    Yeah, actually this has started me down going through all of my components, and right now I have a A8N-SLI Premium with that 4800+, which is a socket 939 board. Unless I'm mistaken theres not much faster that my board can mount, which means at this point I am pondering holding off on video...

    To SLI or not to SLI?

    The monitor's max res is 1680x1050, and will stay as my max for the foreseeable future. Even with the dual 880GT's, at that point my bottleneck would likely be my CPU right? From what I've read on the matter between the two solutions they seem to have more or less the same performance level...

    Looking for input on PSU choices

    Yeah sorry, I meant 2x 8800GT's versus 2x 9600GT's. So, a 520HX wouldn't be a bad purchase, sounds like that will be what I go with. Thanks for your help, you really cleared up a lot of confusion I was having.

    To SLI or not to SLI?

    Man, my head hurts. I've been doing some research and have been looking at a variety of video cards. Here's the deal, I want to buy a video card solution that will last me at least 1.5 years and it needs to support DX10. I want to stick as close to $400 or less as possible. I currently run a...

    Looking for input on PSU choices

    I have a 22" widescreen monitor, but the highest resolution I normally go is 1680x1050. The reason I was thinking SLi though was that I was looking up benchmarks regarding the 8800GT card versus 2x9600GT cards, and though the pair of 9600GTs beat the 8800GT in more than a few tests and by a...

    Looking for input on PSU choices

    That is an excellent explanation thread there, thank you. I took to reading through it and I now understand a lot more regarding the specifications of PSUs, but I have a couple more questions. With that PSU you mentioned, I noticed it only has one PCI-e connection; should I opt up to the...

    Looking for input on PSU choices

    Hello all, I am looking to upgrade my system by removing the x1900xtx and adding two Nvidia 9600GTs, but going by my low voltages I know that I am already skirting the lower edge of what I need to be at. My current PSU is some $50 piece of junk, rated for 450w. My current specs are as...

    Brief, Annoying Lockups

    Well, got the desktop version of the lockup twice so far today. The lockups are almost like when your harddrive is on standby, and how when you need to access files on it it takes a few moments for it to actually spin up to speed and start functioning. Im gonna give that PerfectDisk a shot...

    CD explodes into pieces in the ROM Drive.

    I used to work in a CD duplication plant, where basically robotic arms loaded blank CDs into racks of drives. Long story short, we had a CD rip apart inside of a drive one time with such force that it sent the face panel about 5 feet from the station :P. We thought it was pretty cool.
