8GB DDR2 RAM
MSI NVIDIA 260GTX 2xx core...
I'm about to embark on a decent size P2V project in the next month; virtualizing 6 old servers to a brand new ESX box and needed some advice on backing important data up. There isn't a ton of important data and I thought about rolling with ShadowProtect as an image based backup solution (easy...
I'm about 3 weeks in on taking a new job teaching a CIT class and being a Systems Admin for a local trade school. We have about ~100 PCs and a few servers (will be virtualizing/consolidating very soon), but I'll be recreating the servers along with the new hardware.
I'm having a little...
I am an IT instructor at a trade school and am going to be implementing a transparent proxy/Internet caching (accelerator) device for our network. Our current bandwidth is 3u/3d (bonded T1s) and with 30 faculty + 100 students constantly using it, things can get a little slow. Yes, yes, I'm...
Hello [H] peeps. I'm currently teaching a CIT class (just started) and they have NO lab equipment, none whatsoever. Most of my students (out of 28) are working on their A+ and I wanted to build some custom PCs for them to take apart, put back together, fix, install desktop OSs multiple times...

I know this is probably a stupid question, but I just wanted to get a second opinion on my next HDD purchase. SSD is still way too expensive at the moment and I would rather wait until my next build to dive into it. So, I'm going to be replacing a 4 year old 250GB Western Digital SATA HDD with...

Ok, next Feb, all TV signals must go from analog to digital, aka you have to have a converter/cable box. I know that you can still get local channels OTA in HD, but you'll have to have the box for other channels. But won't this make our TV tuner cards useless?
I've got Comcast right now and...

Hey guys. As some of you might know, I'm starting my CCNA studying here soon. I just got my equipment and I just bought a new 450 Watt PSU in order to have a test PC just for Cisco stuff. But one thing I don't have is a case. No big deal right? I should just connect everything and make the two...

So I'm putting Ubuntu back on my good rig and I'm having trouble getting rid of my RAID 0. I went into the RAID utility by pressing F10, entering the detail of the array and then pressing D to delete it. Now it wants me to make a new one. I skipped that and tried to reinstall Vista . . . but...
Ok, I've been searching around the net and have been fooling around with settings and whatnot, trying to speed up the boot times of my Ubuntu box. One thing I did was install bootchart and here were the results: Boot time was 31 seconds and the only thing that looked to take up hardware...
