    Using ESXi guest OSes

    you can also edit the guest OS config file in ESXi to enable VNC access to the console. you'll also need to modify the ESXi firewall to allow VNC to pass through. http://bitsmarts.blogspot.ca/2013/01/enable-vnc-in-vmware-esxi-51.html

    Cannot use Autocad off of old drive

    If its just the menu's your worried about, its all stored in the .cuix file. Do your new install and copy+open your old .cuix and your done. If you have customized other stuff, alot of it is stored in the users registry under the ACAD tree as well as the users app data folders. I've copied...

    Motherboard supporting i5 2400 for home virtualization lab

    If you really need VT-d support then Q67, X58, X79, C202, C204, C206, 5500, 5500 and most likely a few others are the choices. If you don't need "passthrough" then the options really open up.

    XP activation servers

    I've rebuilt a couple of XP computers for friends last week, I choose the online activation method and all went ok. Today i started another one, but now it fails the activation. I've even tried activating a technet key (from work) inside a VM and it fails too. Just to save some time later...

    Will an HD image run as a VM OS?

    Looks like the new and old motherboard have the same north and south bridge. Audio chip and network chip are different. One should be able to plug the old hard drive into the new motherboard and boot. You might have to install the new audio and network drivers. After that it should just work.

    Curious: point of fast RAID cards for storage arrays?

    What if your power supply shorts and takes out all your drives? :eek: RAID is not a backup. Its only uptime.

    SSD? Still with downsides? Lower usage life?

    Let do a little bit of math to determine lifespan. MLC should have a range of 10,000+ cycles per cell. SLC should have a range of 100,000+ cycles per cell. Lets use the MLC type SSD in this example. 60GB SSD * 10,000 = 600,000 for total lifespan. Lets say you generate 116GB of new data each...

    they use the x16 slots because you can fit a x16 card in a x8 slot when you are using SLI or Crossfire.

    Stop The Meter On Your Internet Use!!!

    Dude, your 5mbps pipe has never been unlimited DATA. There has always been a data cap. Data caps have been in place for years now. Some ISP's have been nice, and don't charge people when they go over their data allotment. Since some users don't use all of their allotment, they have taken that...
