    New and Improved Watercooling Sticky - Post Your Systems Here

    A buddy of mine gave me his old machine when he decided to build a new one, and his old machine is considerably better than my old desktop (Q6600 w/ 8GB & GTX 470). The water hadn't been changed in 3 years, and there was crazy growth inside the system. Needless to say, I tore it down, cleaned...

    Update Cisco IOS?

    That is the answer I was looking for. Thank you for your time. I was under the impression that Cisco would list ALL of their models in the software advisor, including old retired models. I was wrong. I am pretty sure it has that version IOS on it already. I haven't heard of that command...

    Update Cisco IOS?

    I bought a 3548XL switch off ebay for real cheap. I am configuring it right now for home use, mainly to play with. It has IOS 12.0 and doesn't support even some basic commands, like int ranges or even the do command in global config mode. And it doesn't seem to support VLANs either. I...

    CCNA course for $2,480. Worth it? Buy a nice HDMI cable instead?

    I am going through CCNA right now. I've finished modules 1 and 2 and I am working on module 3. I am fortunate to have free access to the course. The official Cisco books are actually very easy to understand and explain in enough detail for you to have a very good understanding of the...

    Eyefinity Configuration Suggestions

    Premium price is an understatement. I guess I am just gonna stick with cheap DVI monitors and not even bother with eyefinity until the displayport monitors come down in price and go up in selection, at least to a competitive level with DVI monitors.

    pretty good website, but it just seems like there is an incredibly disappointing lack of options for displayport.

    This may seem like a stupid question, but I can barely find any displayport monitors online. Where is a good place to look for them?

    Hackers Steal South Korean / U.S. Military Secrets

    take my word on it, an 11 page document for the entire US/S Korea military operations is nothing. A platoon-size op-order for a simple offense or defense is about 10 pages. a detailed and more realistic plan/op-order for the complexity and number of troops involved would be in the hundreds...

    Intel Turbo-Charging Transistors

    They don't mean a 1000x reduction in voltage, just a 1000x reduction in the waste gate leakage. it would still require a typical, if slightly less, voltage to operate the transistor.

    Quick HDMI Question

    Good evening [H], I think I have a good idea about this question, but I want to be sure. I understand it is probably a stupid question, but a question nonetheless. I searched the forum and I didn't find any relevant postings: Will any HDMI cable support 120hz or only the 'premium'...

    Raid 0 vs Raid 5 speeds

    the read speeds for RAID0 and RAID5 are almost identical since they are both striped, however the write speed for RAID5 is significantly slower since it has to calculate AND write the parity bit

    I have just included 4 screenshots from HDTach using the 4 combinations b/w my RAID array and RaptorX. I must say that I am completely blown away by the performance of this RAID array, and I seriously doubt i will ever buy a raptor again, unless of course I buy a 2nd RaptorX and RAID0 those...

    iPhone 3.0 Safari issues?

    awesome, that worked. but it takes longer than just holding the home button until the app closes. oh well, cant ask for too much i suppose i think an alternate web browser would be great if it included support for flash/shockwave/silverlight etc, otw it wouldnt be really all that useful

    Raid Card?

    dang i didnt even think about those. i found this one here from CM that includes a 120mm fan and is much cheaper, i will probably get that once i can get back out of the space-deprived barracks and back into my big case. on another note, i have raid 10 setting up and it is initializing the...

    more 2tb drives?

    although i agree that higher density==faster performance, there is a current max density, its the number of platters they have been increasing recently. more platters doesnt necessarily make a faster drive since the seeker head can only be in one place at any given moment.
