I’m planning on setting up two 2*1TB RAID 1 arrays, but I want to make sure I can take any of the drives out and read it from any other computer’s SATA port (or a SATA to USB cable). I was googling and read some forum posts suggesting different controllers might use special...

Cool! I've been waiting for this release. Hopefully I can try it soon. From the website: Wondering how it will work with multiple operating systems on different partitions. It uses its own bootloader to do preboot authentication. Anyone try it yet?

Notebook is a Twinhead Durabook D13R-Y Built in ethernet is Agere et-131x This problem is about a day old. I can get an ip from router and have access for a minute, then randomly it cuts out. If I reboot, it will work for a minute maybe, or it won't work at all, or it will be ok for 10 mins...

Please check out this picture I took of my screen: http://www.postimage.org/image.php?v=aV4lPXr I keep getting these lockups on my laptop where the screen goes like this. All along the right side are these weird artifacts. When I feel underneath the laptop, it doesn't feel so hot as if...

I'm looking for a cardbus / pcmcia card to give me firewire 800 The cards I can find: NN-PC8312: "siig DV kit " CB1394B3: Startech 3-PORT IEEE-1394B FIREWIRE 800 and I can find a LaCie card Worried about the drivers for win xp sp2. The only thing I could google was that the...

Just setting up my new laptop with XP Pro (seagate momentus 120GB sata). I'm getting all these fragments on my C: drive as described below, but I have no idea what is normal/expected fragmenting behaviour. You can either tell me not to worry, or how to fix it ;) Partitions: 4GB C: Just...

ok this is really frustrating me! I've been setting up windows XP on my laptop, and everything was perfect until networking randomly stopped working in windows I try to connect to my network raid fileserver \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (ipaddress), and windows just gives me "The network path cannot...

I've been looking at ReadyNAS NV+ and 1100, and the Thecus N5200. The new Linksys NSS4000 looks like another option, but I can't find any reviews or any performance comparisons...

Just recently, I've noticed that sometimes when I try to watch any video file the video plays all corrupt and has green bands and stuff scrolling around. A quick fix is to reboot, and then videos play fine. It's only videos too. 3d and everything else is fine. I use VLC, don't know how to...

Looking for a p2p program to share just on the LAN. My dorm is all on the same subnet, so for example firing up OurTunes you can see people. (Note, cant just simply browse ala Network Neighborhood. net view gives: "System error 6118 has occured. The list of servers for this workgroup is...

In my dorm I'm concerned about the ground wiring. My APC surge suppressor's wiring fault LED is either not visible or barely visible with nothing plugged into it, but when its being used normally the LED is very red. I also caught a glimpse of the overload flash a while ago, but I don't...

I just got a 200 gig pata samsung spinpoint, but after trying to get it working it's screwed up somehow! I've never had a drive > 136gb so I don't know if I have things right to get all 200 gigs, but I have a slipstreamed windows 2000 sp4 rollup and all I got was 136 on the setup screen. I...

I've been using Vorck's files for windows 2000 with IE and other stuff removed for awhile since it's been dramaticaly faster. I see the windows boot screen for 5-10 seconds (athlon-xp), and much less bloat. The problem is that I can't find any complete windows media replacement. 90% of the...

I just got a Viewsonic VP171s, and I'm using it via analog with my ti4200 I think the optimal settings are 60hz at 24bit-depth, but I can only select 16 or 32bit, and when I try 60hz at 16 bit, half the screen is shifted off. So I'm stuck at 16-bit at 70hz. I installed the monitor drivers...

I'm having a difficult time trying to setup my sister's computer on my home network. We have a Dlink 624 wireless router. I have a windows 98 laptop connecting with with a 802.11g card perfectly. This one computer is frustrating the crap out of me though. She has windows xp, sp2...

I'm going to university in September, and I'm looking for something to record lectures and discussions. It also must be digital and have usb for filetransfer. There are a few ways I've thought I could go: Digital voice recorder MP3 / Minidisc player PDA Cell phone MP3 / Minidisc...

For the past few days I've been trying to take the linux plunge and switch over. I've learned alot of things, and remembering things to config etc. I'm finding it really hard to get what I want from linux though. Plainly, what I want is a distro that will leave me with a clean slate...

I know its good to store parts in conductive containers to dissipate static and such, but would it be a good or bad idea to ground such a container? I'm thinking of making some storage space to hang under my desk for all my computer components to keep them and tools all organized. I was...

I'm in a predicament with my system. After hours of effort, I'm still in the same little rut. It makes me not like this box as much as before :( I have an SN45G, with the 250 watt powersupply. A 2500 XP-m with 1x512 mushkin bh5 Mods I've done: -3.3vdimm -vdd mod -lapped NB and...

I really want to get something compact, between a laptop and pda, for university this fall. Something like a pda, but with screen size like some have 640x480 or 800x600!! Not bulky, no keyboard I prefer (fold up keyboard must be able to use though). Needs wifi OS, running windows CE...

I am going to be organizing a small firm's network which consists of about 5 or 6 computers. I am to organize the files and their locations, and make some reliability/backup solutions. Now, I'm not sure what the best way to do this would be. It's best to keep it simple remember; this is...

I remember a year or two ago here at the [H] seeing these little cube computers that ran off some form of linux, but were not in english. There were some pictures of some asian tradeshow with them next to apples or oranges to show size. I dont know if they were ever released or not, but...

I have a perfect 17" monitor I received for free that needed a new cable. I ordered some M/F cable, not thinking much about it, and figured out which wires to connect to which wires near the atx type conncetor the monitor cable ends at that goes into the monitor's pcb. Anyways, I soon...

I was putting togethor someones computer earlier today, when all is well, everything seemingly ok. But after making sure it booted and everything was working, everything was shutdown and unplugged to hook up the fans etc. Then, when powering on, immediatly there was smoke everywhere and...

for a 17x17cm mobo, I want something tiny and compact. Psu solution too. I will only need 1 regular hard drive, no opticals. Is there anything like this? I don't care if it has the optical slot, say if it would fit a full size hard drive if you use it instead of a slim optical and slim...

http://www.avatarband.info 'tis my bands website :) I'm doing it all in notepad. Pretty basic, but I think looks pretty pro for it. Pretty much comprises of the image map and tables for the junk below. The tables are kinda tricky to me, hard to get it how I want. Like it / Hate it...

Ok basicly I have a dead mobo I'm trying to hotflash it as a last option. Its an fn45v2 (NF2 board) and I'm trying to flash it in an A7S266VM (SiS) because its the only other thing I have. Upon researching the bios chips from each, the one I'm trying to flash is 3.3v/2M and the mobo I'm...

The mobo is specified as: 30.5cm (12") x 24.5cm (9.64") The case specifies that the mobo size is: 12"(W)x9.6"(L) I doubt it wouldnt fit, but I never know. Anyone have any comments about this case/ps combo? I think the 380w true power should be nice. I looked at the cost of it alone, at...

The 3.3vdimm was sweet while it lasted. Seems like some wacky corruption happend from saving to cmos a bunch of times, because one day when I was playing with multi's etc. after the 2nd boot screen it crashed and no cmos clearing or 24hour battery out or anything works. Any ideas for me to...

You can see my video card and the cable/adapter I speak of here I have video in/out capability but need this stupid adapter :mad: Where can I find one like this or where can I find a pinout? Maby I could solder the rca in/out on the inside to the card and mod the plugs to poke out the...

I'm running at 220 fsb @ 2-2-2-11 Its unstable ~225-230 3.3v=vdimm vtt tracks fine (measured to make sure) loosening timings (i.e 2.5-3-3-11) yields same results Ram is Mushkin level one pc3500 with BH5 chips Stock vdd is 1.7v apparantly. I will mod it when I order VRs. Didn't...

I'm running my 1x512 of mushkin pc3500 level one (BH5 :)) with vdimm connected to my 3.3v line. I'm running it at 223fsb with 2-2-2-11 timings, it is unstable higher, kinda hitting a wall 225-230. I tried 230 with 2.5-3-3-11 timings, and same results. Is it nb voltage (vdd)? Is it nb cooling...

removed heatspreaders expecting to see ch5, but wow Anyone ever heard of this level one using bh5? Maby they made it before they started using ch5. I figure my ram is pretty old stock too. Seems like the place I got it from stopped selling mushkin soon after I got it, i.e they sold their...

Whenever I would try to play nfsu with winamp 5 playing, 95% of the time it would make the game lagg to a slow, but randomly sometimes it would work fine. Man 5 musta been hogging something, so I found winamp 2 and it works just as good but causes no problems. Strange too, I mean if I was...

Well in my rig right now, the 200W psu is hugely bottlenecking me. Everything else is out of the picture. This sucker can get so hot to the touch. I only noticed it was a problem when I was overclocking one day and at 1.875v the system died (with load temps all around in 20s/30s) and the psu...

Well, my new plan is to setup freebsd on an old PII and learn how to get a webserver working and such on it, and meanwhile run my server on w2k or w2k3 server So don't tell me how retarded MS is, :P, help me keep it as protected as possible in the meanwhile before I make the switch. I'll...

I was thinking I might make one, so I could format it to keep memtest on it, or change it to fat32 to boot in dos etc, with whatever I need. What is the minimum partition size I could use? And would it work to use the format program for memtest but specify the partition as the floppy?

I took these shots from farcry. But I read that Quincunx was supposed to be in between 2X and 4X This is way better! I think I will do a comparison of 4X and 4XS next, because I tried 4XS before and it looked worse than 4X at least what I thought. But 4XS is supposed to better isnt?
