    Finally a Good, Cheap 2x2GB 1000mhz DDR2 (PC2-8000)

    Bought this to go in my new DS3R, and system would exhibit the cold boot syndrome issue and affects a lot of P35 boards....... however I could boot up and run with one of the sticks in no problem, but the other stick would not work by itself, so I RMA'd it. Got the other stuff back, stuck it...

    How would you change from SAV

    Whoa, I just can't let this Novell network printing bashing stand! I manage Novell and Windows networks for schools for a living, and I have to say, that novell printing is VASTLY superior to anything I have seen out of the MS camp, even R2. In fact, I don't even use the printing abilities of...

    Content Filtering by URL and keyword

    For only 25 users, IPcop would be a great option, and very reliable as well. Using the combination of Advproxy, Urlfilter, and downloading the blacklists from urlblacklist.com works very well for up to about 500 users, if you have a decent box to put it on. But if you just don't want to do...

    WAN monitoring

    Intermapper. http://dartware.com/network_monitoring_products/intermapper/index.html Price is based on the number of nodes you want to monitor, so for you it should be pretty affordable. Free demo licenses are available.

    Multiple wireless routers?

    They will definately work fine together, as has been stated by w1retap. Just make sure that you're using the non-overlapping channels, 1,6, or 11. Might be a good idea to run Netstumbler ahead of time to find out what channels your neighbors might be using, so you don't end up close to one...

    Juniper vs Sonicwall/Barracuda

    Agreed on the cuda. I've installed a couple they have worked wonderfully. Honestly, I don't like Sonicwall or Junipers products from what I've worked with (Sonicwall PRO330, PRO 3060, Netscreen 25), but I would say Sonicwall is the lesser of the two evils.

    ProCurve 5400

    Sounds like an off-brand GBIC, or you don't have the GBIC actually plugged all the way into the slot. What is the model number of the GBIC, and did where did it come from? Or is it one you already had? With the latest HP firmware on all HP switches, they no longer support generic GBICs. The...

    Microsoft Radius Server

    The version of IAS that somes with 2k3 standard only supports up to 50 (or maybe 100?) authenticating devices. Enterprise edition is unlimited. But it doesn't look like you'll have a problem there.

    If you have purchased Windows XP OEM with Vista Upgrade coupon, please post here!

    Just got an email from them asking for my proof of purchase..... I sent it in my sales receipt a month and a half ago... they just asked for it again, as well as a scanned copy of my web confirmation order... ???? What the heck is that? I just logged into the moduslink site and took a screenshot...

    best TV tuner software?

    I have to disagree with the user who said BeyondTV recording setup was cumbersome..... there is a web interface that you can use to setup recordings, but I didn't even discover it until I had been recording through the main interface for a week or so. Recording the the menu is so easy.... a...

    Help me choose a TV turner

    I have the nVidia Dual Tuner card it works great. But...... I think it was discontinued recently, so I don't know how much I can recommend it based on that info, if it's correct.

    Me and SupCom cool stories? Before i buy.

    This is truly a great game. I have no idea what the storylines are behind the races, and probably never will. But I don't care. It's a great game. Get it.

    Space Sim/Combat Fans Enter Here

    Agreed! I would pay real money.... more than I should actually to recreate an experience on the level of X-Wing or TF. They should come out with a bundle for any new space sim that is supposed to be really good, bundle it with a good joystick so people and get the full effect. I remember back in...

    Upgrading from 27" tube TV finally! Need some advice!

    They were probably showing SD content through a bunch of splitters. If you were watching HD content, you would know it. I would say a minimum of 42' display for you... but you probably already knew that. Yes this is generally true, except on a tube HDTV, it actually looks a little better...

    MSI P6N SLI-FI / Platinum (650i) Thread

    Quite an infomative thread you guys have going here........ I have a question though. See my specs below.... trying to see how far I can push the proc, shouldn't I be able to tinker with the FSB and voltage, without doing anything with the memory? It just makes sense to do one at the time. I...

    Up to $5k for a server

    Unless this is just for fooling around with at the house, or for the fun of the build.... I would just get something like an HP Proliant or IBM server and be done with it. The price probably isn't as bad you might think. Besides, you'll end up with a solution that is far better engineered than...

    Best Game Someone Dumped On You

    Freespace 2. I was a Descent maniac, and thought the whole morphing of the Descent franchise and a flight sim was traitorous, but it ended up being a great game, a distant second behind TIE fighter...... (best.... game.... ever.... )

    Cheap 2-port DVI KVM?

    Hey guys, Been looking for a cheap 2-port DVI KVM switch, but all I can find are the $150 variety. I would almost rather just get another 19" LCD for much the same price. Anybody know of a better option, besides a VM, or a cheap(er) KVM switch?

    Which one? GIGABYTE 965P-DS3 -or- MSI P6N 650i

    I have had about 6 different models of MSI boards, and 4 different models of Gigabyte. In my experience, they are about the same in terms of price, reliability, and stability. Your mileage may vary, which is the case with just about everything. I just did a build with the EXACT specs you...

    Questions about building first HTPC

    Thanks for your reply. I looked up some info on my particular DTV receiver, it is the D10-300, which has a low-speed data port that was covered by a black sticker.... I wonder why they did that? If I can't get that up and going, I guess I would have to use an IR blaster (?). Would this hook...

    Widescreen video card support

    Hello. I am looking to get both a widescreen LCD monitor, as well as an HDTV that supports 1080i. Will pretty much any video card support the widescreen resolutions? 1440x960 ( I think?) and 1366x768? I have some geforce FX cards that I will be using to do this. Does it matter whether I use...

    Need AGP video upgrade

    I have maybe $100 to spend on an AGP card. I currently have a Venice 3200+ on an nforce3 250 and a 5900XT. What would you suggest for an upgrade? I was thinking maybe a 6600GT, but not so sure. I kind of lean toward nVidia, but definately not against an ati card. I want to be able to play the...
