Thanks - so in essence manufacturers offering 3.0 capable slots is absolutely a worthless gimmick at this point and time in technology.

Why?

Isn't this a PCI Express 3.0 card? Correct me if I am wrong but wouldn't bench marking this on an X79 board that actually has PCI X 3.0 capabilities be a better representation of the cards abilities.

Soo...their doing this by 'User Agent" if you throw your iPad through a proxy first NY Post works just fine. So much for that.

Best Buy should take note of Walmarts Policy....we are talking about a company that allows people to carry guns in the store.

I am interested in the problems with HT mentioned before. What are the issues being brought up with Hyper Threading and how would this affect SLI performance?

I just read this: http://www.tomsguide.com/us/barack-obama-cool-phone-president,news-10852.html And you have to wonder....if this tracking problem is affecting everyone else (and their are numerous websites related to this that prove this to be the case on both the andriod and iPhone platform)...

1) Trackers are the way you get caught. 1b) The FBI, MPIAA regularly seed content. I work for an Internet Security company believe me I know many college's get copyright notices on a day to day basis because of uneducated non-tech savy torrenters. There is no safe way to torrent besides...

I'm more interested in the P2P this idiot was using. Yes people who contribute to child porn in any way shape or form should be dicknailed to a tree for all to laugh at but thats beside the point. For the love of Christ people....Bittorent = gaysex, people who torrent for anything other than...

Is it just me or did anyone notice that they posted the entire network infrastructure of the WBC. Including what firewall they had implemented. I believe it was an open source IPCOP - hate to be that guy right now.

Gea, Your a gentleman and a scholar - exactly what I needed to know. I had purchased an SR-2 for a new ESX monster. I now have something to do with the vast number of unused PCI-E slots. ZFS say hello to OCZ PCI-E SSD's - I will post benchmarks when I am finished with the build.

As a general rule a busy 2008 Server R2 will consume around 15-30 IOPS how many IOPS would you estimate the actual ZFS virtual appliance itself will demand under lets say a busy load. Edit* How much space did you allocate in general for the ZFS virtual appliance.

Good read thanks - couple of questions. Recently zfs has added support for using a SSD as a synchronous write log, and this allows zfs to turn synchronous writes into more ordinary writes which can be written more intelligently while returning to the user with minimal latency. Which...

How do you address the issue of fragmentation with ZFS? Is it something that happens more so than a traditional file system or have any of you with experience encountered fragmentation issues? If you have...how do you deal with them. Assume a decent pool size of 20TB of which 10TB are...

Yes this is a load of horseshit. 1) Whether applications are centralized at someone else's datacenter or run within an organization's own infrastructure this constitues the exact same hardware especially where virtualiziation is concerned. 2) People confuse and asociate the deffinition of...
