Hey all. I need to upgrade our current AP which is a Linksys WRT54GX. It's woefully inadequate at delivering a consistent signal through our building. I suspect that the construction of the facility has something to do with it, but besides that, the WRT is constantly timing out and dropping...

Here's the link to Dynamism's product page: http://www.dynamism.com/tz90/main.shtml I'm really liking this laptop (who wouldn't) but I kinda want to know which SSD goes in there and what its specs are before I opt for such a pricey option.

Here's a link to a Cnet review. http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/laptops/0,39030092,49287310,00.htm It said pretty much what I expected it to. I'm only going to be using it for internet and office-type stuff with the occasional video watching. No games. What do you guys think? It will replace my...

I've gotten a few of these in my days but hopefully there will be a solution with this one. I was working on a co-worker's laptop and installing XP security updates. One of them froze, Windows went to BSOD, and rebooted. After POST, I received the "No Operating System Found" message. Advice?

The title pretty much says it all. I'd be using an Areca 12xx PCI-E with 256MB cache. I'd love to put them all in RAID 0 but, you know...I'd like my data to exist for a little while . Does anyone have experience with this configuration or at least a similar one? I don't want to use RAID 3,4,5...

I received mine last week and I LOVE it. Very, very smooth. Far better than the Razer one that I had prior.

I got the 7950gx2 in August and it has served me very well but I'm wondering if there would be a reason to replace it with a 8800gtx. Other than the DX10 support, do you think I'd have a reason to upgrade now or should I wait for the 8800 version of the gx2? I play at 1920x1200 and recently...

Some of the users of the computers on my network have gotten around my content filter by using https proxies (specifically https://www.hidebehind.net) in order to access sites like myspace and rotten. I've tried many different things to block that site but I guess the nature of https prevents me...

We both know that they are much more expensive and would only garner the interest of someone with no financial concerns, but according to the benchmarks I've seen, the Fujitsu MAU and MAX lines (SCSI and SAS) really do outperform the 150gB Raptors. I'd imagine that someone who has the money to...

I just ordered a whole slew of parts from Newegg for my new C2D build and, of course, after putting it all together, it doesn't work. The MB turns on, the fans work, there are no beeps, but theres nothing happening. The MB is an ASUS P5B Deluxe/WiFi-AP P965 775. Any help would be greatly...

Intel is has 65nm cores on the market now and AMD will be following suit soon. Both companies have or nearly have the capability to begin taping out 45nm cores and Intel hopes to have 32nm in production by 2009. IBM mentioned a month or two ago that they have begun working on lithography in...

Is there still the issue with heatpipe-cooled chipsets and the upside-down motherboard orientation on a Lian Li case?

This error drives me nuts because whenever I google it the only people having this problem are running old video cards. I have a 7950GX2. I try to run the game, the screen blinks, and that error comes up. I've tried different drivers and different versions of the game. Has anyone had this...

This is driving me insane. I have an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard. The card fits without a problem halfway but will not completely settle into the rear of the slot. I tried this with both x16-sized slots with the same problem. What can help with this? Thanks... Edit: My current Radeon...

Hey guys. I have a system with the PC Power and Cooling 510 SLI. The specs are: Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe MB Opteron 175 (2) gB OCZ PC3200 RAM (1) 73gB Fujitsu MAU 15k SCSI (1) 250gB Western Digital (1) Dell PCI/E SCSI controller Do you think the power supply will be able to handle a 7950GX2...

I have the 180 day trial of 2k3ES and I've recently purchased a full licensed copy. When I try to do the upgrade installation, it tells me that the version I am trying to install is older than the current installation. I really don't want to have to reinstall the OS from scratch and redo all...

Fucking D-Link. (Actually its my fault but fuck them anyway) I built a server at work a few months ago and its running 2k3ES 64bit. I bought two d-link pci-express gigabit adapters and, of course, there is no 64bit driver support. My guess is that they are based on a broadcom or intel...

Has anyone tried the quad-SLI on a system that don't have the CPU bottleneck? I'd be interested in seeing unencumbered benchmarks.

What do you guys think of this? http://www.cyclone.com/products/pcie754.php

I need a L3 switch, the Dells are cheapest for the features. Experiences?

Does such software exist? I know that there are various router programs that come close but if I want a full-gigabit L3 switch is it possible to build it?

I'm running the 180 day evaluation copy on my new server. I am on day 4 of this trial. Something weird happened to the memory so I had to reset the CMOS. When I got to Windows, it said my trial was over. The date in the BIOS was reset to factory and therefore was seen by Windows as past its...

I hope I'm right about this one... If so, someone can edit the chip information to make the BIOS see the processor as a 2xx or 8xx. Read the background information provided and at the bottom check out the raw code. http://www.packetstormsecurity.nl/0407-exploits/OpteronMicrocode.txt

http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20051128/index.html I was surprised that it worked at all, let alone rather well.

I've been slowly coming to the conclusion that a dedicated rack of drives connected to good HBAs and running a certain type of Linux-based RAID can vastly outperform even the most expensive hardware RAID controllers due to the fact that these drives have a whole processor to themselves for...

What advantages to the UltraSPARC processors have over the Opterons in a file serving/heavy LAN-based network? Both are running Solaris 10 and have similar hardware configurations. Help?

If so, how is the performance versus a regular gigabit NIC? Would it be worth using in a small workgroup environment for future-proofing purposes?

I'm heading up a small computer lab with about 15 computers...I'd be able to have them fold from the hours of 2pm-630am if you guys are interested. I think it would be around 35GHz.

Move this if its in the wrong place... I'm planning a new server for my job. It will be primarily for file sharing among different workgroups/domains as well as some other light remote access duty. I've been wanting to use Solaris 10 for a long time and if I can make it act like a normal...

I'm looking to see some benchmarks for a MAU array on a good controller. I'd prefer to see 16 drives but anything over 8 would do. Yes, this is for my forever-in-progress system so I'm sorry if I'm getting annoying :).

Now the fastest hard drives on the planet have the same first name as I do. Thats good enough reason to by sixteen of them, don't you think? http://www.fel.fujitsu.com/home/v3__product.asp?pid=494&inf=dsc&wg=17

How can I remotely kill a process (ie: internet explorer) remotely through a VNC connection without physically going into task manager or manually clicking the "X"?

I want astonishingly high I/Os and low access times for my PC-in-progress. It will be used for heavy multitasking that includes (but isn't limited to) gaming, folding, encoding, etc. I'm guessing a RAID 5 or 50 would give me the best performance for my money and provide some data integrity...
