microsoft goes out of their way to tell everyone one kernel, one whatever blah blah blah. there are some software config differences e.g. only 4 sockets are supported on workstation/server products, not win10 pro. Microsoft needs to experiment in the kernel here, is likely scared to death to do...

teehee. indeed, an insomnia-related typo.

Seems a bit melodramatic ;) Part 1 of 4 follow-up is out, which is mainly about native gaming. edit: damn insomnia typos..

http://www.teksyndicate.com/reviews/2012/06/23/asus-zenbook-ux32vd-teardown-ssd-upgrade-ram-upgrade-gaming-benchmark-and-review this video covers pretty much everything. The ux32vd is pretty sweet and yes a 7mm 2.5 drive is required if you are going to replace the hdd with an ssd, or...

Doesn't seem to be. I borrowed a Dell 6248 from a client and created an LACP group between the 5224 and the 6248.. worked perfectly. Actually, it was amazingly fast. I connected the main file server using plain old LAG and it seemed to be better than ever there. Perhaps the 2748 is actually a...

There is definately something wacky going on. Single gigabit uplink is fine but with plain LAG (two ports set in lag group #6 on the 24 port and 2 ports set in lag group #6 on the 48 port) and then the two switches connected together and link lights on each port... there is significant packet...

iperf and netcps. mainly iperf. More testing is needed, I think, but I am making progress. Thanks for the insight. May try to borrow something with a better cpu than the 2748 to test with.

I was trying to set up the static LAG on both switches but it seemed not to be working. The 2748 is "web managed" so I don't get a lot of options. With the static LAG setup on both of the switches I can't specify the algorithm but it seems to be balance-xor. The 2748 is not sophisticated enough...

I bought a used Dell 5224 24 port gigabit switch for the 2nd floor of my office. The first floor has a Dell 2748 48-port gigabit switch. I wanted to use 802.3ad or some form of link aggregation between the first and 2nd floor switches but it is being really squirrely. Our workstations have...

I'm in this same spot and hoping to order a 1.8" drive that has a better performance characteristic than the samsung. anyone buy a 1.8" drive and mount it in here?? thanks

Hey, did you get my message? I have a bios programmer and can program your chip if you mail it to me. It would probably take less than a week if you send the chip first class padded envelope.
