Either netboot or USB install where i'm not worried about security. At worst I have ton's of 80GB SATA's to load for local install. I traded off 4GB to offset the cost of the 3ware card, defiantly will look into extra funds to fill out the ranks. Looking at implementing RAID5 on the SAN.

I'm looking at a project to replace 8-10 servers. 8 of the servers are SMP netburst Xeons (without VT support huzza, and the 140TDP+ monsters), DDR ECC, SCA SCSI. Basically they take up more room, power, AC then its worth to keep them running. Not to mention the cost of upgrading the...

When's Intel's sex tape coming out then?

Hey Dan did you avoid the whole thunderbird line mostly? I burnt the core(no overclocking even) on so many of those things I swore off amd till late in the 64 x2 series. Intel 386SX-20 - first PC, a clone from a local builder I ended up frying the hdd so we just got a new system. AMD...

Why mention the dv2 as proof as a game changing laptop. It's not a really great netbook in the mobility field at all (read battery life/heat output).

Yes. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/faq.aspx Q:Can I upgrade from the RC to the final version of Windows 7? A:When you install the final version of Windows 7, you'll need to do a clean installation. So plan on backing up your data then reinstalling your applications and...

Or how about street racing against the cops on a snowmobile? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBeQA1trE2U

Kinda curious when at the low end there are cheap accelerators http://www.soekris.com/vpn1401.htm "Public Key, RSA, DSA, SSL, IKE and DH, 24 to 70 connections/sec using 1024 bit keys" for $75. Or when you head into the midrange/highend realm a BIG-IP load balancer + SSL acceleration...

No brace for the video card(s)?

Hope you have a backup if it gets stolen ;) But seriously ok there are exceptions, to clairfy what I mean is like the majority of users have very small usage set that heck a netbook can fill. I have seen various justified work experiences where certain job functions required (marketing/CAD is...

I don't know how anyone can justify a 1000+ laptop.

Just dump ipv4, no more kludges with nat, dump old/broken protocols like ftp/smtp. Just getting rid of SMTP would make my life a heck of a lot easier ;)

Q: Were you worried about Kyle's lack of anti static strap in the review video? :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlueMotion "The BlueMotion Polo and Ibiza Ecomotive use a special 1.4 L diesel engine which achieves 3.9 L/100 km (72 mpg-imp/60 mpg-US) while producing just 99 grams of CO2 per kilometre. Both figures are lower than the hybrid Toyota Prius" VW get it here in...

What usually happens is the cable is on the bottom of the ocean floor, when a ship anchors its anchor usually is dragged around the ocean floor and can rip the cables apart and the diameter of the cables is quite small.

This already technically exists. Intel won't license SLI technology to enable in chipsets but there is nothing saying the crossfire compatible(really just 2x pci-e x16) chipsets wont work for SLI besides nvidia's chipset/key detection. i7 is a different beast...

Your logic hurts me. So the current bench marked released Core i7's is bad because you cannot "turn off" said fix. We know what the current performance is so who cares.

I have managed probably ~15 2 hinges (users picking up laptops via screens or slamming the screen shut, I'm surprised the displays don't bust) 5 keyboards 1 lcd (user closed lcd on mouse) 1 motherboard (power issues across the whole board leading to instability) 1 hard drive (acer system)...

No SRT or MKV support :(

If your going to sticky anything take the more accurate wikipedia listing of builds. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows#Timeline_of_releases

Windows 7, Intel's Core i7, what else will be the 7 moniker next year...

Another q6600, stock clocks, Vista Business x86, 1GB Ram (don't ask had to steal some). CPU-Z CPU tab CPU-Z Memory SPD Edit: process was ran "as Administrator"

That's gotta go front page, wish Dirk the best getting the company back on course.

You know I would have agreed with you before running Vista Business. I cannot begin to describe how well it runs on my laptop with 1GB RAM. I have seen laptops with Vista Home that was dog slow in memory consumption/hdd thrashing. Take a look at task manager after a two "days" worth of...

From everything quoted so far they play serious hardball but if they were still making money on chips how is it anti competitive? I really think AMD's fault was ramping vs Intel's. There was doubts that AMD could meet the demands and we have seen them empty the channel to keep up when some...

After hours news today http://techland.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/2008/04/07/amd-swings-the-ax-after-sales-shortfall/?section=money_topstories

TDP is silliness now with the 45nm higher clocked parts, so the leakage is still a major issue and the B3 spin did nothing as most predicted. Oh well the damming part is: Looking back at my old AM2 system, the Phenom would of been a good upgrade, but no regrets on switching. 9850 ~265CAD...

There was a clause in his contract that he could be fired from his contract without penalty after Feb. I'll have to dig up the link, but it amazes me Hector Ruiz has been around this long. Where are you getting those figures? "Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) took its largest slice ever of the...

Since were about two to three weeks away, anyone want to have some fun and guess on AMD's 08 Q1 results? Some highlights to take into consideration -790/6x0 chipset -Q1's performance goals(shipping tricore/TLB fix aka B3 parts/low power parts) -Intel's shipping of 45nm server/desktop parts -ASP...

Altho page 48 is awesome,

Hey pxc, Ran a shuttle xpc as a desktop for two years (lugged it as a flight carry on back and forth overseas). The PSU fan was terribly loud for the time (had a friend with another who had the same issue). I'm in the same boat as I'd like a media center PC or backup/NAS box for my...

Indeed, so I'm wondering if they grew the capacity to 128bit to match the l1/l2. But overall I'm wondering if it's going to eat into any IPC increase to improve server memory performance. Humm or is the increased L3 required to mask latency moving forward to DDR3

Ignoring IPC for a moment. With the additional L3 cache increase are they doing anything with the bandwidth and latency? Source:

You forced me to login Dan because after owning three imploding k6's with ali chip sets I wished at the time I wasn't such a poor student to buy a P2 (ended up driving me insane and bought a BP6-Celery setup). Seriously WTF.. K6 platform was horrible compared to Intel's processor/chipset offering

The windows patches are smart enough now it will use the partition with the largest amount of space thats writable to extract/run setup. (honestly my system partition is sitting at 6gb used with some games on it (Steam/WoW sits on d:\games)

Funny you mention that. I always split any computer I have to work on into an OS/Data partition schema and partimage the system's OS drive to an image on the data. There might be a few configuration/patching to be done after a "restore" but it saves a lot of time.
