    Just got a Netgear GS608 and I'm still seeing 100Mbit file transfers

    How long are your RJ-45 cables? Where are they going through, any electrical interference close to the cables? Are you using cat5 or cat5e cables? I personally thing you have some interference and should get STP cat5e cables instead of UTP cables.

    Panasonic TC-37LZ85 PC Resolution Problem Help

    Thank you guys for tips, I changed HD size to 2 instead of 1 and it'd didn't crop anymore at 1920x1080. It looks amazing when I sit close but if I sit about 8 feet away it strains my eyes when I read text. What can I do in windows to help besides putting text at 120DPI?

    Panasonic TC-37LZ85 PC Resolution Problem Help

    Hi, I recently bought a Panasonic TC-37LZ85 after reading great review from people using it as a PC monitor. My problem is that when I put the display on 1920x1080 bottom of Vista Start Menu is missing and text is too small to read by sitting 2 meters away from it. How can I fix it. The only...

    Have I short-stroked?

    Yes you did it right, and if you decrease the size of C drive from 100GB down to 50GB you will get an even better performance. Just make sure to not use C drive at teh same time as H drive or else you'll loose the benefits of short-stroking. So use your H drive only for storage and when you are...

    Finally I got MTRON MOBI 32GB

    Well finally I took a deep pocket plundge and bought and SSD. The test was done on ICH9 so it is a bit slower but with a hardware raid card it should give you a perfectly straight line with perfect 80MB/sec. The Vista boot is not 10sec like they said but it is twice as fast. Mine loads...

    Fastest Single 7200 RPM Drive

    It all depends what you mean fastest. Seek time or transfer rate write/read? For example in most DB work you want access time in video work you want write performance. I heard very good things about Hitachi Deskstar 7k1000 1TB drive (1TB only not 750MB) especially if you short stroke it.

    SSD Question

    Well tomorrow I'm receiving my MTRON MOBI 32GB and I got 2 very important questions that don't seem to be addressed. 1. Does defragmenting improve performance at all on SSD? Could it damage the SSD i.e. wear the SLC out quicker? 2. Does short stroking improve the performance at all in...

    Found a used macbook for sale, did i get a good deal?

    I'd be careful!!! The older Macbook Pro also comes with 2.4GHz and you can't really tell if its 65nm or 45nm Penryn CPU unless you install a hardware monitoring software on it to check. The difference to some is huge, since Penryn uses less power = longer battery life, less heat = more sperm :)...

    question about CPU speed/bottlenecks and Gaming

    Don't forget even though some games are "optimized" for 4 cores in truth they are not properly optimized, sort of like when 64bit OS came out and peeple only used 64bit compiler instead of making the optimizing the code for 64bit to make a program 64bit. That is why Intel announced yesterday...

    G35 X3500 Intergrated graphics and WoW

    All I care is for it to be silent or dead silent. I'll have a look tomorrow at a 9600 in a local store, I'm gonna ask them if possible to hook it up for me to hear it's noise - I am very picky when it comes to noise. I only have one fan in my case and its form a ultra quite PSU :)

    Drobo: Thoughts?

    Its good if you don't have the time, patience or money to maintain a raid since it does pretty much everything by itself (hot swapping, error checking, recovery, etc...) However I didn't like it since it is only USB (30MB/sec MAX) or RJ45 (5MB/sec MAX) if you get the ethernet adapter for it, so...

    Need help partitioning for Windows.

    Also put OS on one partition Programs on the other and Pics, Movies, Music on the 3rd partition. Partitioning won't improve performance unless your short stroking, however it will make it easier to manage, organize, backup and defrag your drive.

    Don't forget its USED! So the deal you got is very bad.

    Suggestions for Asus P5E-VM HDMI

    I looked at the Zalman but I want to make my SFF dead silent or as close to it as possible. Would drilling in more holes on the case save me from having to put PSU with a fan? As for modular PSU I'm planning on cutting the unneeded cables from Zen 400 (if I go the fanless PSU route) and...

You're right about ninja mini it can't fit so I returned it and ordered online the NT-06 which is meant for SG01 case the only worry I have is if the NT-06 passively cooling the CPU is going to be a good idea with fanless FSP Zen 400, but in case it does get...

    Best setup for swap space (or paging file)?

    Having all of those things in a Raid 0 will in fact slow down your machine because the disk's heads will run all over the place trying to access your OS data while writing to swap and accessing Virtual Machines at the same time on the same disks. DO NOT USE RAID 0. You want to make sure to...

    PSU Cable Cutting

    Hi, I just bought a small factor pc case and my PSU isn't modular so the cables are taking too much space. I was thinking of cutting the cables which I won't be using, how safe is this and is there a guide somewhere on how to ground the cut cables to prevent electric shock?
