At this point, they can't afford to cap their data plans because there would be a mass exodus. If they change the terms of your contract, you have 30 days to cancel for every line of service affected. Plus you get to keep the phone. If they cancelled unlimited data now, they would lose a lot...
So I got an email with the EMC coupons but none with the "BTEK" coupons. I really wanted to use this one :(

To be honest, if you don't have more than 10 devices connecting to the system, you don't need a server operating system. Unless this application specifically requires that you run Server 2008, I would just opt for Windows 7. Use the extra money for better hardware. If, however, you actually...
I've owned 9 SSDs at one point or another and I haven't had a single failure. I've had 3 Vertex 30GBs, 2 Intel x-18M G1 80GB, 3 Vertex 2 60GB and a Mushkin Callisto 60GB. I sold one of the Vertex 30GB and the Mushkin Callisto to co-workers and they're both still running solid. I actually...
I've bought 9 of these so far and haven't had a single failure. I only had two of them that needed to be flashed. The rest of them came with newer firmwares. That being said, I still wouldn't recommend these drives.
I think a good portion of the failures for these drives can be...
I ordered this weekend and still haven't gotten shipping info. I was really hoping to have it by Friday but at this point I kind of doubt it. Oh well. Gives me time to get the rest of my water cooling equipment ordered.
3 pages of people asking and we still don't know who he bought the drives from. My bet is that he bought them off ebay, in which case I wouldn't expect OCZ to honor a warranty from an ebay purchase either.
This isn't a "Dane-Elec" rebranded Intel. It's an actual Intel drive that just comes with a Dane-Elec 2.5 adapter. So there's no issue updating the firmware or anything. I grabbed one a few months back and updated it with no issues. (Well... besides having to wait because Intel pulled the...
Yeah, they had a competition for it. The guy won't get it until its officially released though. Apparently the card is going to be signed by Nvidia's CEO... :rolleyes:
They actually had two GF100's on display at PDX LAN yesterday. They showed a couple slides about how its going to destroy the 5800 series in DX11 performance. They showed the car demo and a physics demo with a guy on a rocket.
Externally you would hope, but on an internal network nobody blocks these ports. They're used for network browsing and network file shares. If this were an XP vulnerability, you can bet that there would stuff out to exploit this tomorrow. If for nothing else, they would slip it in with...
Everyone saying how the test isn't very good clearly aren't familiar with AV-comparatives. They've been doing tests for years and most of the things you guys are complaining about are covered in other tests. This data was merely a subset of the large number of things they test for on a regular...
Well the Intel drives already have garbage collection so its not like you'll have huge performance issues. On top of that, trim isn't working with raid and probably won't for a while. Everyone is waiting on all the various raid controller manufacturers to support it, including Intel. So even...
Okay here are the specifics.
I'll be using ICH10R for the raid. I'm not convinced any of the raid controllers out there provide improved performance with raid 0 over ICH10R when dealing with 3-4 drives.
In terms of the number of VMs, we're talking about maybe 6-8 at about 100-120GB...
I'm putting a Core i7 system together for running some virtual machines for work. I'll probably be using Workstation 6.5 on either Windows 7 or Server 2008 R2. I'll be running anywhere from 2-3 VMs at a time and my biggest concern is being able to boot these virtual machines as quickly as...
That was after a fresh install with all the drivers. What happened was I had a 6GB rar file I transferred to the drive and then proceeded to extract it. I only had about 10GB of space left so the system locked up when it ran out of space. Then I powered down in the middle of a disk check...
I have a couple 30GB Vertex's in Raid-0. Windows 7 actually worked great for me until I filled up the drives extracting a file. Here's some performance tests I ran with Windows 7.
Sorry you're wrong. NIS 2009 installs in under a minute, runs only two processes, and takes up less than 15MB of ram. Previous versions were bloated, but the 2009 versions are much better.
Any particular reason the tests on the GTX 260 were done with with 177.26 drivers again? The 177.34 drivers have been available for quite a while and 177.35 WHQL drivers for Vista 64 have been available for a week. :(
There are a number of sites out there, (hothardware, anandtech, and others) that show the 9800GX2 outperforming the GTX 280 in Crysis at 1920x1200. The things I have noticed which may explain the difference are as follows.
The [H] review has an overclocked CPU (3.66) and the drivers they...
