    Best / Most recommended hardware media player??

    Apparently, Iomega TV with Boxee will be available soon. Based on the initial specs, it will do everything I need, including streaming media to other PCs, TVs, etc over the network. The current D-Link Boxee is unable to do that, and, hence, why I can't go with it at this point. I would...

    Best / Most recommended hardware media player??

    What up guys! I just wanted to get some quick opinions, based on your own experiences with the various available hardware media-players (i.e. Asus O!Play, WD Live, Patriot Theatre, etc, etc.) I will be purchasing one within the next week or so, and, thus far, I'm leaning toward the Western...

    Linksys Dual-band Question...

    I've had the WRT610N and a couple of WGA600s operating for over two years now. When I first ever purchased the WRT610N router, it specifically stated on the box that it could use both bands simultaneously, and media traffic could be sent over the 5 GHz range while Web surfing and other such...

    Fallout: New Vegas To Use Steam DRM

    Don't hop on the bandwagon too quickly. STEAM is functional, and the compromise does seem fair in terms of playability and ease of use. I don't want to come across playing "Devil's advocate" just for the sake of playing "Devil's advocate"... ...but.... By using STEAM as the sole...

    Hyper-V & Nvidia cards

    This it not true. You can install the nVIDIA drivers, but it's unsupported... ...however, I've never had problems. There are several steps you must take. The following steps apply to Windows 2008 R2 Core / Hyper-V Server R2 Core. If you are running a version prior to R2, make sure to...

    Server Core Hyper-V -- Dual-port NIC Driver Issue

    Well, at least I don't feel as bad knowing that others have experienced a similar issue. Weird too, because if I load a WinPE USB stick with the drivers, all NICs load correctly. Why can't an imaged version of Server Core do the same thing?? This is so frustrating.

    Troubleshooting Experts Only --- Dual-port NIC issue...

    Yep, I'm still unable to figure out the problem, but I have been able to reproduce it. I loaded Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise on a completely separate Opteron server using nVidia nForce NICs. Windows used its own drivers, and loaded them without a hitch. I then installed the nVIDIA...

    Troubleshooting Experts Only --- Dual-port NIC issue...

    Nope, the system was not SysPrep'd! In fact, I hate SysPrep. In the past, I would use NewSID. However, as of Windows 7 / 2K8 R2, NewSID no longer functions properly and wrecks the system. Since then, I have used the second-best option, Symantec's GhostWalker. However, in the case...

    Troubleshooting Experts Only --- Dual-port NIC issue...

    I used Symantec Ghost Suite 2.5 I mapped a drive over the network, and used a custom-made WinPE DVD to boot the system. Then ran the following command: ghost32.exe -z5 -auto -split=2048 Pretty standard. I've never had a problem with imaged systems in the past.

    Server Core Hyper-V -- Dual-port NIC Driver Issue

    Although this is more of a hardware issue, I figured some of you have been working with Hyper-V Server R2 and Windows Server Core and may be able to assist. I've posted the request in the hardware-forum. If you have a solution, please assist. Thanks...

    4 ohm speakers vs 8 ohm receiver --- Some questions!

    Just came across your response now. I've been operating with the Yamaha set to 6 Ohms for months now, and I've had pretty good results. I'm aware of the issues you indicated, but I did not want to blow out my unit by leaving it in 8 Ohms mode. In terms of picking up a second set and...
