    is the hypervisor running? after you enable it in the bios make sure to power cycle the machine. if it is not running it will give an RPC error when trying to connect remotely.

    4TB boot drive in raid 0 without UEFI?

    no it will not work. booting with +2TB is past the limitations of MBR, it requires using GPT, and to boot a GPT partition requires a UEFI enabled system.

    Not All Today’s Students Are 'Tech-Savvy'

    The thing that really pisses me off is that half of the people I see in the software test field dont know anything either. so the product turns out like crap, pisses the general public off and nobody who knows wtF they are doing will want to work at the dev firm. and thats the people who...

    Big issue with Nvidia drivers, need HardForum help :(

    I have been seeing this same problem (I run the very same setup but with a GTX 570) I find that by setting the refresh rate to 59Hz that it fixes the overscan issue. however I havent tried the new driver yet and may not be able to try for a couple more days (work has me just drained the last...

    why use ESXi free over Hyper-V Server?

    and now i see the key differance in them, VMWare will let a VM allocate more memory than the host has, hyper-v will not. also they took a different route with compression. MS is still playing catch up in that way it seems. Thanks Junkie.

    sorry but that is no longer true, as of the release of SP1 it now has full memory overcommit support.

    why use ESXi free over Hyper-V Server?

    I would like to know more about this. aside from the linux support this is the first real advantage that anyone has mentioned. remember eveyone I only wanted to compare the free versions. but it sounds like this weekend is going to be busy for me with trying out some ESXi.

    why use ESXi free over Hyper-V Server?

    Scvmm is certainly not free, the Hyper-V manager tools in the RSAT package are very basic but work great and it can be used with scvmm if you wanted to. Can the free ESXi be used with the VMware solution?

    why use ESXi free over Hyper-V Server?

    I am very aware of the things hyper-v brings to the table, and aside from Linux support (which is rather poor but improving in hyper-v) I really do not see the advantage. with the addition of RemoteFX and memory over allocation in SP1 I feel they are finally in the same league.

    why use ESXi free over Hyper-V Server?

    Hello everyone, I am wondering, why someone would use ESXi free over Hyper-v Server R2? from what I've read of the spec's hyper-v seems to be worlds ahead of ESXi in terms of pCPU (socket and core totals), memory and also RemoteFX support. and from my experence hardware support has been...

    Raptor for OS or Western Digital Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1TB

    in my main machine i run a 3 drive raid 0 with old 74GB raptors. while the I/O is worlds better than the 1TB seagate drive that i use for storage, the transfer speeds are only about 30MB/sec faster in reads and 40MB/sec faster in writes. simply saying that while the old raptors used to be...

    why is Windows 'burn image to disc' so awful?

    i have had this problem several times over the last couple years, always a firmware issue with the burner and only with SATA burners. last time it happened was here at home and i ended up having to switch back to a PATA burner as there was no firmware update for my sata one.
