    Video card troubleshooting

    Also, from a specifications standpoint GTX 260 is just as power hungry, if not more than the GTX 670. The older cards were inefficient...

    Video card troubleshooting

    None of the available hotfix drivers addressed my specific issues...tried them anyways to no avail. I have a few spare PSU's but none of them had enough pinouts for 2x PCIe power, and I don't have any LP4 to PCIe adapters. Tbh I'm wary to blame the PSU. I can run furmark and game on this...

    Video card troubleshooting

    Didn't know about the hotfix drivers, I'll give them a shot. Stock clocks, system is cool; CPU is 20 idle / 60 max GPU is 40 idle / 70 max. PSU is pretty old and from the original build, about 6 years ago. I thought about the extra draw from the 670 possibly giving it issues. My spare...

    Need help setting up a CISCO lab

    i suggest you start on theory...jumping in and connecting a bunch of random routers together will only serve to confuse you more. once you have a good foundation, there are plenty of lab topologies around...google is your friend.

    multi-wan without NAT?

    ...what? being multi-homed has nothing to do with NAT. unless your end-hosts are publicly addressed, your internal RFC 1918 addresses must be translated to a publically routable IP address. typically (assuming enterprise) you would use BGP in this scenario; NAT to a public address, and...

    uTorrent upload speeds stall out - please help.

    Have you tried alternate NIC drivers? Do you have a PCI NIC just to eliminate the Realtek as an issue? Try another bittorrent application (Azureus) and see if the problem persists. Try taking a packet capture using Wireshark during the stalls for further TCP information.

    Hide Motherboard's Machine ID from my ISP?

    as others have said, just use a router (assuming you aren't already doing so). MAC addresses reside at layer 2, and are not preserved through a layer 3 device (router).

    RSA Web interface down

    no matter how useless you think they are, support should be your first stop. if you're paying for it, might as well take advantage. if you aren't satisfied with the progress being made, ask for a duty manager or demand the case be escalated. i have a hard time believing RSA support is THAT bad
