Have a Dell N4032 Switch (the model with Ethernet ports) but realized too late we didnt have a way to connect a Netapp to it via 10GbE as the ethernet ports on the FAS2246 are only Gigabit. We are going to buy this module to connect the SFP+ 10GbE ports on the Netapp to the Dell switches. Will...
I have been using a GTX 470 for a number of years now (bought new in 2010). It has served me well but its not up to par on modern games (Shadows of Mordor, Wolfenstein New Order, etc.) and its been 5 years so its time to upgrade. The other components of the system was last upgraded in late...
I'm normally a Nvidia guy but they are getting their ass handed to them by ATI performance/price wise so Im ready to switch sides for my gaming computer. A plus is that is my mobo is a crossfire board so that is a possibility down the line and I have the option to go with Eyefinity in the...

Im looking for a videocard for my HTPC that will at least perform at a 7900GT level and be under $80 and will fit in my Shuttle SN25P, the 79 fit great but it cant be much bigger or longer than that. The reason im looking for 7900GT or better is that had this in it before but the card died and...
