Hey guys! Hope everyone is doing well. Remember - we're all here for each other. In any case... I'm just wondering. What's the norm (between all of us) and/or recommended RAM size for laptops/desktops/workstations/server? I know there are soooooo many variables... but what do you...

I have a 48-port Gigabit Smart Switch GS748Tv5 and I don't know if I should use it to replace an existing Switch. What should I look for? Age? Throughput? Obviously, 10Gbps > 1Gbps, but what other signals are there? Thanks, guys!

I'll buy used, Summer clothing that you don't need... anything from socks, pants, shorts, underwear, t-shirts, shirts, etc., etc., etc. Much appreciated, but nothing for Winter like jackets or heavy sweaters. It's my way to donate to people who literally have nothing... they wear one pair of...

WTB: DDR3 SODIMMs... any speed but 4GB or higher per stick.

My cousin has the rz09-01953e71... Razer 14 from 2017. I saw a lot of people having issue with this. Is there a recall I don't know about? Is there anything he can do? Should I contact these attorneys? https://chimicles.com/razer-laptop-battery-swelling-class-action-investigation/ This is...

I'll buy old MacBook Airs or MacBooks that you or your company doesn't need. Definitely before 2015 and probably even before 2013.

I have a family friend that has a crappy Comcast router in the basement and they use that for the whole house. They would like really good coverage across the house and large back yard. They'll pay for hardware and the labor (me) is free (ugh). What say ye? Ubiquity? Netgear Orbi...

I have the iPad Pro 12.9 2nd gen... cellular... 256GB. I love it, but the screen cracked... Is it worth it to repair? If so, what costs am I looking at? Is it feasible? What should be my max budget before I think of just buying another one... I'd like the cellular one since I pay for the...

Hey guys! This is one of my first posts in the Apple section... normally I'm in GenMay :eek: In any case... I broke the screen on my iPad Pro 12.9 2nd gen. I'm trying to find replacements on fleaBay or to get it repaired with iFixIt dot com or some similar. But, for whatever reason, I found...

I family friend wants to sell me a Sony XR-77A80CJ television. What should is it worth? I saw it for $1599 refurb from MicroCenter. But this comes with no warranty. Thanks!! Sorry, just saw in rules that 'no price checks' allowed. Closing thread.

I have the MSI GodLike X570 mobo with AMD Ryzen 3950x CPU. I had 16GB of HyperX Predator DDR4 RGB 16GB Kit of 2 (2 x 8GB) 4000MHz CL19 DIMM XMP RAM Memory with Infrared Sync Technology (HX440C19PB3AK2/16). All was fine with the world... Windows showed memory running at 2000Mhz. Now, I bought...

I have four (4) 2GB 1Rx8 PC3-10600 RAM sticks. Took them out of an older Dell that I upgraded to 16GB. Honestly, I want to give them away to a good home for free, just pay for shipping. I'm assuming shipping will be $8.95, so total cost is $8.95 :D

Hey guys! Hope you're all doing well. You helped me a while back with upgrading my 27-inch iMac Late 2012 with 32GB RAM and also a new SSD with the thermal kit so that the fan doesn't run 24/7. Many thanks to all of you [H]orde :) I'm SOL since I can only install Catalina (unless I'm wrong...

We have two Zyxel VPN100 units: https://www.zyxel.com/us/en/products_services/VPN-Firewall-ZyWALL-VPN100 One in each office. The offices are about 4 miles away from each other. Each office has 400down/100up connection from the ISP. I set up an IPSec site-to-site VPN between the two offices...

My friend crushed his screen on a 13-inch MacBook Pro A1278 from Late 2011. The screen is completely crushed and you cannot see anything. I haven't tried connecting external monitor to it yet. But it turns on fine, but I just can't see anything. Would it be possible to take out the hard...

I've been having a lot of issues with WiFi on my smart phones, tablets, and even laptops. How do I know if it's the issue with the router or my individual devices? I have a Netgear Nighthawk X6 R8000 It's a few years old... but has served me very well. Is it time to upgrade, regardless if...

I'm curious to see what people are thinking about this concept. Apparently, their in-house chips will have double the cores and, consequently, double the threads of the Intel chips. But they didn't say anything about the speeds. In any case, are Intel and AMD SOL due to Apple's decision...

I want to install an SSD in my iMac 27-inch from Late 2012. I did a couple of upgrades for friends and family in their iMacs and once I swapped out the spinning hard drive from their iMacs to the SSD, the fans went on 24/7!!! WTF?!? I read that it's due to the heat sensor or temperature...

I'm moving data from three (3) 900GB 10K RPM SAS 6Gbps 2.5in Hot-plug Hard Drive in RAID 5 to four 2TB Samsung 860 EVO drives in a RAID10 configuration. Currently the OS is Windows Server 2008R2. I'm installing Windows Server 2012R2 on the SSDs. What's the best way to install 2012R2 on the...

I have a nice, old case: Corsair CC-9011023-WWCORSAIR Carbide 200R Compact ATX Case https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009GXZ8MM Right now it has an old ASRock 870iCafe motherboard with a Sempron CPU: https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/870iCafe/ It's probably not worth reusing the MOBO since it's...

I'm building a home server and the server will be on 24/7/365. I'd like to spend a little more initially and then save on electricity and potentially avoid explosions from a crappy PSU. I'm looking into a 750Watts. I'll have 6-8 3.5 SATA drives in it. Any recommendations will be...

I was just doing a little bit of research and decided to make this quick Excel spreadsheet. It's not exhaustive by any means. I just hope it helps someone who's also doing research on mid-range CPUs. I'm not taking any responsibility for incorrect pricing or pricing changes or any data...

It's my first build in many, many years... I bought the Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL along with the Kraken x27 360mm AIO. Where should I install the radiator and should the fans be on the inner side or outer side of the case? AND, should the fans PULL or PUSH the air INSIDE or OUTSIDE? AND, should...

We have a Dell PowerEdge R720 and we currently have three (3) 900GB 10K RPM SAS 6Gbps 2.5in Hot-plug Hard Drive in RAID 5 for a total of 1.8TB of storage. The server has 32GB of RAM and an Intel Xeon E5-2620 CPU @ 2.00Ghz. We would like to upgrade our drives to more storage and hopefully more...

What cooler would you recommend for the 3950x? I don't want water cooling... I'm not going to do crazy rendering or anything that will keep CPU usage at 100% for long periods of time. So, looking for something good but reasonable.

I have an IBM ThinkPad X41 laptop with an Intel Pentium M 1.5Ghz CPU and 1.5GB DDR2 and a 40GB ATA hard drive (It's one of those 1.8 inch 9mm ones, I believe... not even a FULL 2.5 inch one). It's a tablet with pen input available. I don't think I can put in any more RAM and I don't know if...

Got a new GS724T switch. It’s used but from a client as a gift. Anything useful I can do with it??? Or just plug and play? I’m excited :)

I have the following switches that are fully functional but collecting dust: Dell PowerConnect 3248 (48 port 10/100 switch) 3Com Switch 4400 3C17204 (48 port 10/100 switch) 3Com SuperStack 3 Switch 4250T 3C17302 (48 port 10/100 switch) I just connected them and they work fine. Are they worth...

I'm looking to get 10gb running at home. I'm confused whether I should get one of those multi-gig switches that does 1/2.5/5/10 or just a full-blown 10gb switch. Which way do you guys go and what do you recommend? Probably looking 8-12 port; probably through Amazon (or is there a better...

I want to upgrade my 27" iMac to 32GB, but I don't know which memory to buy. I believe it has 4 slots with a max of 8GB per slot. However, Crucial dot com says that ct2k4g3s160bjm and ct2k4g3s160bm are both compatible. What's the difference between the BJM and BM memory? Anyone know? Which...

My 700W PSU just crapped out. I'm guessing it was overloaded. But, it's been working fine for a couple of years now. I have an older AMD CPU (probably 95W) and 8 SATA drives. How much power do I really need? What modular PSU would you recommend for me? Any input will be appreciated. Thanks!!

I've had my trusty WHS server for many years with 8 drives. Never had any trouble with the drive extender or anything else. Then yesterday, I try accessing it and see that it's off the network. I look and power is off. It won't turn on. I tried changing the power supply and nothing. The...

I'm looking to get rid of my 3 cable boxes... the boxes and remotes cost about $9 each per month from Cablevision here in northern New Jersey. I have a desktop HTPC in both the living room and the bedroom with GTX960 video card and 2TB drives. Not looking to do any crazy recording, but want to...
