Here is the background...
My company is trying to help out a local non profit (animal shelter) that just got cut off from the counties tit. They are working on a shoe string budget and have a very simple setup....
Windows Storage Server 2003r2 on a Gateway desktop :eek:
30 workstations...
So I might be in a situation where I am going to only have wireless to the PS3...as long as the signal is decent with MP pings be playable?
The only people that have said it sux are people using Cat5...I haven't talked to a single person that has actually done it.
So I've got a Linksys N router and I only get 20% signal strength to my PS3. I would think that the speed would be better with 20% as my laptop sitting right by the PS3 only has 20% signal strength as well, but my speeds fluctuates between 3-4mbs on the laptop where they are only about 50k on...
So I haven't done any kind of voltage tweeks or aftermarket cooling since '01 and my Radeon9500...which I actually made a custom BIOS for as well :D
Anyway, the weird ticking sound at low fan speeds (sounds like the fan is hitting something, but I can't see/find that it is) and the annoyingly...
So Im trying to get Win7 RC1 x64 to work on my laptop with a Radeon x700 in it and can't seem to find any working drivers or "trick" the system into using drivers. Thus I am stuck with the "default graphic card" (or whatevers its called) crap. Everything else works great on the laptop except...
So I just reformatted after getting a new mobo, and set up all the network setting on Vista just like I had them preformat.
My 2 XP machines can print to the shared printer just fine and can see public folders just fine, but my storage HDD that I have shared, and that shows as shared in...
So my last bit of server knowledge is from the NT4 days....a little outdated I know. So the company I work for which doesnt have any servers is wanting to monitor internet usage now on the 40 something computers that we have here. Last time I did this was when I was sysadmin for a company that I...
So the board in my sig crapped out on me last night after a BIOS update (last time I update a BIOS w/in windows :mad: ) So I am replacing it with the EP45-UD3R. My Q6600 does 3.6ghz with a 1600mhz FSB 100% stable after about 36hrs of Prime95 on a friends P45 board. I could only get it to 3.3ghz...
So I've got a buddy with a video card issue and we are trying to figure out what is causing his issues. He is getting artifacting and weird blocks and what not in game only.
I am heading over there after work and would like to be able to run a program that would tell us exactly whats going...
So I have a PS3...I have a 360 and a PC for gaming. I bought the PS3 for for movies, but that being said I wouldn't mind having a couple cheap games for it. I downloaded WipeoutHD and am having fun with that. So Amazons DotD today is Warhawk for $10. So my questions are this...
-Anyone...
So I am trading a friend my xbox for his PS2 and am wanting to hook it up to my HDTV. After a little bit of googling searching I Am confused...
Do both systems take the exact same cord? Everywhere I am looking says that both systems use identical cords...can someone confirm please :o
So I rented LBP this weekend to see what all hype and perfect 100 scores were about. Is it unique...well mostly, still mainly a 2-D/3-D platformer, but still is unique. Is it creative/imaginative most certainly yes...one of the most of all time. The multiplayer and user created content aspects...
So I'm a 360 gamer that just got a PS3 today and honestly know next to nothing about it. I have been in several 360 Betas, but how do you get into PS3 betas?
So here is what I am trying to do...
160GB SATA laptop HDD
40GB SATA laptop HDD
The 160 is currently used in a laptop with WinXP on it
The 40 is blank
I want to take my USB cage and plug the 160 into and plug it into my PC and make an image of the drive.
Then take the 40 and put...
So I just bought a PS3 and have a 160GB Seagate HDD that I am going to swap into it this weekend (as soon as I find out how!). What can I do with the 40GB stocker? Can I put it in a laptop or the external laptop cage I have? Or is it always going to be a PS3 HDD thanks to custom firmware or...
The family Christmas present this year is a PS3 and I am a 360 owner that doesn't really know much about the PS3 since none of my friends have one. I would never buy a used 360 because of RRoD, but the local pawn shop has a 40GB PS3 for $200 and I went and checked it out and it works fine right...

I use an external WD 1TB drive connected via USB for storage. 2 days ago this drive became write protected out of the blue and I can't regain control :( Full control belongs to a long random string of numbers and letters now and...

So I just made the jump to Vista Ultimate x64 w/SP1 from XP Pro x86 w/SP3 and can not figure out why in CPU-Z it is showing my speed/multiplier/voltage constantly change! It is the Q6600 in my sig and it is constantly switching from stock to 1600Mhz/6x/random voltage
I thought it was AiSuite...

So I bought my eVGA 8800 GTS512 the week it came out for $360 from newegg. I just checked on evga's website and I have 23 days left in my step up. I figured since the 9800gtx is going to be $350 I might as well do the stepup. Can anyone who has done the stepup tell me what teh turnaround time is...
Hey guys I am a PC gamer first and console second. I normally hate console FPS but got in on the 360 beta of cod4 and got addicted. All my friends have 360s and none have PCs so I got it for 360 when it came out so I could play with my friends. I haven't had much time to play in 08, in fact Ive...

I am about to buy an Acer 24" and am wondering how 24" LCDs do with non natve res. this might be one of those things with no answers because it all depends on the panel, but I am wanting to run Crysis at 1280x720 so I can still run it at...

Anyone know where I might find something like this....and ummm why hasn't brent...
I bought this a couple of weeks ago to run in crossfire on my intel chipset board, but have decided to just try and find a used 8800GTX instead and go single card.
I bought it online from Best Buy for $215 +tax +shipping ($241.42 total) I was just going to return it but thought if anyone on...
Heres the deal....
