    Does anyone use BorgBase for Backup?

    Hetzner's speed seems pretty variable. I get anywhere from 30-100Mbps from the east coast to the server in Finland doing SFTP. Not particuarly fast, but good enough for what I'm using it for (< 1TB, generally not much data in this set changes day to day). Most of my data (~20TB) is actually...

    Does anyone use BorgBase for Backup?

    I just started using BorgBackup with a Hetzner Storage Box. So far, I'm happy with the combination. Its significantly cheaper than BorgBase. I believe the two services should have similar reliability models, they're both backed up on storage that allows more than one drive failure, BorgBase...

    Getting a little "hitching" in WoW on my new 5870

    It has some options in it to tune it to use less CPU. Try /qh for a list of all the options. The author also frequently makes updates so if you had an older one, alot of the recent versions are supposed to be more efficient.

    Getting a little "hitching" in WoW on my new 5870

    I just got my 5870 today, it's installed in the system in my sig - the specs are pretty similar to yours. Also running Windows 7. So far in WoW, no performance issues at all. It's perfectly silky smooth. I ran around a bit in Dalaran and then dual boxed (2 instances of WoW on the one...

    Intel X25-MG2, Newegg auto RMAs?

    The first person I talked to on the phone at Newegg tried to tell me the exact same thing. I've placed 34 orders with them since 2001 (yeah I actually checked, I think I buy too much parts, but I'm sure many folks here have bought more :)), and I've never had a shipping issue with them before...

    Intel X25-MG2, Newegg auto RMAs?

    07/24/2009 23:54:05 BILLING INFORMATION RECEIVED[M] Is all that mine says. The Newegg order status page says: (Shipped from La Puente, CA) Shipping Time: 7/27/2009 9:49:40 AM I am guessing its just a matter of which shipments they were able to recall...

    Intel X25-MG2, Newegg auto RMAs?

    I had the same issue. I called customer service, the first lady I talked to had no idea what was going on with the product. Called again and the 2nd lady I talked to said they got a memo indicating that Intel has asked retailers not to ship the product. I ordered on the 23rd 6pm EST, got a...

    Microstuttering on a GTX280?

    I run WoW on a GTX 280, 2560x1600 with everything set to max in game options, and no issues with graphical performance anywhere, including 25 man raids (though the frame rate can go down to 20fps, it's still smooth). I've run with VSync on and off with no issues. I also quad box on this...
