I had serious issues with 5Ghz in my house (1893, brick walls and plaster). The attenuation @ the higher frequency was just too much. I installed a UniFi Long Range AP (2.4Ghz only) and it works fantastic, even with a large amount of 2.4Ghz "noise".
Because of your older devices I agree with...
If I have the choice I *NEVER* let the install monkeys do the "install". Because they will literally do just that... drill a hole in the side of your house wherever you want the cable and put in a grommet. I prefer to do the work myself so it is done properly.
I can throw yet another UniFi hat into the ring. I run the Long Range standard APs and can stream any of my media anywhere in the house to AppleTVs or Rokus. I have found that while 5Ghz might have less interference, it gets attenuated too much by my brick walls.
That being said, I also ran...
I have been using the DOCSIS 2.0 version of the modem bds1904 post and it has been ROCK SOLID at 30mbit/6mbit on Comcast BLAST! for the past two years. Very consistent speeds, no reboots required. I have never used a Motorola but can say I am pleasantly surprised at the UBEE.
Finally decided on pooling software. Ended up sticking with Drive Bender. The professionalism of the product has come a long way in this (hopefully) final beta release. So far so good.
Thanks, just rebuilt it today with the new motherboard/CPU/memory and I tried to make it as neat as possible without going crazy. It's always fun routing 12 SATA cables!
Joining the 10TB+ club with my humble Home Server. Currently running WHS 2011, haven't decided on what sort of pooling I'm going to use so single drives duplicated using SyncToy right now.

The built in Atheros Wireless-N isn't a dual-band card so it can't do 5Ghz. I have a dual band router at home and want my 300mbps. The cards are only $25 on eBay and take all of 30 seconds to install.
How does the RESOLUTION cause that? These are inexpensive TN monitors, and they are for the mainstream public which wants 1080p. If you absolutely hate them, pony up for a 1920x1200 IPS panel with a height adjustable stand, or go to your monitor's best friend: Monoprice...
In my main PC, I have 6. Storm Scout with:
- 120mm front intake
- 140mm top exhaust
- 120mm back exhaust
- 120mm on Cogage
- 120mm in PSU (that almost never spins)
- The stock fan on the 5770.
In the HTPC, only three.
- 80mm on PSU
- 80mm exhaust on side
- Stock AMD Athlon II fan...
When you are talking about such low power consumption CPUs, the power savings comes down to the other components. Motherboard, chipset, video, network, drives, and PSU efficiency.
I personally feel that for the few watts you'll save going with the Atom will be made up by the overall performance...
The LN40C650 is a good TV. I had the "B" version in England and it looked very good for the price. My 46" XBR9 blows it away though. But still, for under $700 that is a great buy. I think I paid £800 back in May of 2009?
Where are you seeing these prices? I see the 650 for $830 and the 630 for...

I have two 3x2GB sets of OCZ Platinum DDR3, brand new. One is 1800, the other 1866. I won't be able to ship for about 2 weeks though (out of the country ATM). PM me if you are interested.
I pulled 6GB of my RAM and got the same problem, so I don't think it is a memory issue.
Only did this once for me in the past week (this morning). The only thing I noted was last night I put the system to sleep, but needed to check something about a half hour later and woke it up. Turned on...
I would say you might notice a slight difference. Are you maxing out your current RAM and using swap space? I know on my main machine I rarely see usage past 6GB right now, and that is WITH a 2GB RAMDisk running.
Maybe I should stop posting in this thread when the issue seems "fixed", because of course this machine now once again proves me wrong... this morning had the same issue. SHENANIGANS!
