I obtained a late 2010 Mac Pro with 64gb ram and dual AMD 5770 video cards. I’m updating the macOS on it as far as it’s letting me. What can I do with this beast!? Apparently the highest it can go is Sierra. Guess those cards don’t support metal.

I just hopped on the xbox 360 bandwagon for cheap and am looking for some kids games a 5 year old girl who's into dancing and girlie games. I'm about to get a kinect as well if that helps. I don't have a problem with older titles as I can get them cheap for used. I got lego star wars clone...

Back in the old days (pre Windows XP) you couldn't change a PC's name unless you removed it from the domain first. (if it was joined to one that is) But I came accross a training room full of PC's I had to change their computer names. So for kicks instead of removing it from the Domain...

This might also be known as Derby Ownder Club World Edition or DOC WE. Has anyone ever played? We have a Dave and Busters here in Kansas City and I am totally hooked on it. I know I'm throwing my money away but its so damn entertianing. http://expertdoc.flex.com/ is a good fan site for...

I am in charge of leading a team of folks who are deciding standards where I work. We have a situation where we have Dell PC's that by default come with a single VGA port. There is also a DisplayPort and there is an option of using a "Dongle" that outputs to DVI. We have LCD panels that...

We applied it to 4000+ PC's and we are experiencing some issues with folks using intranet websites that use Mixed Mode security... The settings in IE are set to "enable" which shouldn't prompt them to click OK to display the page, but it is anyways. I had to completely default those security...

Background: An XP image is created and a local policy is setup (via gpedit.msc) to point the IE homepage to http://intranet (for example). Is this possible? A new intranet is created and the question is posed to pinpoint specific regions for the switchover to point to http://newintranet...

I'm troubleshooting some PCs that I'd like to stress the CPU to 100% for awhile that are internal network PC's. I'd thought of using the Folding software but that would require a link to get work and I don't have that option. Anyone have any recommendations? I'd prefer something free if...

There's 2 chips, I talked my father in law through swapping the one that you can get to by removing the plate on the bottom. But I think the other one is under the keyboard? Can someone confirm? I searched here and googled and didn't see any obvious answers. Figured I'd ask here. Thanks!

So I'm at work, doing some testing on some laptops and upon bootup of one of them I see XP telling me theres a wireless network to connect to. My company is not friendly to wireless networking yet (parnoid financial institution), so I drop net stumbler on it, grab the Data Security manager...

Does anyone know how to disable a device in the registry? As opposed to going into device manager and right clicking/disable device? I have a laptop with Bluetooth that I want to be able to flip a switch in a batch file to disable it. This is part of an automated script that once it...

Here's some background on why I'm asking this question: I'm renaming the administrator account and changing it's password on over 4000 pc's via a "package" I'm making and will "push" out to all the PC's. That's not a problem, I got that right here and it works. I'm torn though because...

Anyone know what these things go for? (Cost/value) Or what the heck they even do? A buddy of mine I haven't talked to in 4 months emails me out of the blue that he has one but has no idea what it's worth. I googled it and still have NO clue... looks pretty high-end and expensive.

So I build images here where I work for those of you that don't already know. I haven't updated the image with Microsoft patches (or for any reason) since April of '06 so there were obviously quite a few I needed to put on the new one I'm working on. (And don't worry that I don't update it a...

So I was traveling through O'Hare airport last night and saw the signs for their wireless internet. I figured of course it's one of those "pay/login" types. I open my available wireless connections and there's one that says "Free Airport Wi-Fi" Oh wait it's a "Peer" connection type... that's...

I have a situation where we are running Windows XP/SP2 and have the VMWare Player application running an instance of NT4. This is due to the fact we have a VERY old antiquated program that only runs on NT4 (boo hoo for us). We've got the app working in the VMWare instance just fine. But I...

So I have an image file I tried burning to a DVD and was going to use but the burn failed (don't know don't care). So I figured I'd go get some app that can mount .ISO files as a virual drive. I've never had the need until now but I know they are out there. I've occasionally used Nero's...

I did a few searches and couldn't find a G5 thread so I figured I'd start one. I just got one last night for my birthday and WOW does this thing rock... I've barely used it but for 5 mins in Windows, can't wait to hit up some Quake 4 I just got last night to and put it through it's paces...

In 10 minutes I have a meeting with the "Patch Management Committee" to discuss the plan for the Microsoft Windows Metafile (WMF) vulnerability. There is an "unoffical" patch that is out that some experts are saying to deploy to enterprise environments and I'm very suprised by this. I work for...

So the wife's PC is a Barton Core 2600 and she's got an old 64MB AIW Ati card and it's past it's gaming prime. (The Sims 2 doesn't work as good as it used to since upgrading the drivers!) And I hate $100 cards that suck. So I have a 9800PRO AGP 128 and saw a Geforce 6600 OC 256 DDR2 AGP for...

I had my weekly meeting with my manager today and the overall discussion was about version control of office apps from Microsoft, Adobe, Exceed, Crystal and what not. I mentioned to him about a review I read about the new features of Office 2003 (We use XP). Here's the link if you're...

I'm posting this here because I'm more of an OS guy than a programmer and yet I feel it's something an OS guy can come up with pretty easy. I need to grab a computers host name from WMI and pass it into a registry entry that gets run. No third party software is a requirement for this...

I have a feeling I'm going to have a lot of these types of threads so I figured I'd rope them all into one. I've done a lot of tweaking to my XP/SP2 Image that will eventually land on as many as 4,000 PC's at my company. I'll get into a few of them as I have more time but for now onto my...
