No, not literally Newegg Canada. There's another Canadian company (it's a four letter acronym) that, before Newegg expanded to Canada, was the only good option. Edit: Actually I'm a little curious exactly what happened to make the [H] so mad.

Yeah, I was looking at probably an i5-2400 because that's the minimum where you get the VT-d. I like that build, actually. You're right about the Intel NICs. I have a PCI and a PCI-E Intel gigabit NIC in the server right now. As for the PSU...maybe they're better now, but I still refuse to...

Fair enough.

Thanks for all the input everyone. I guess it's a given that I'll be going with Sandy Bridge then, unless the Xeons and their associated mobos can tempt me. But from what I remember last time I looked at supermicro boards, they're expensive. (I have a supermicro SC743 chassis and powersupply...

Basically I'm looking to build a new server for myself. My current server is in my sig. The processor is starting to not really cut it. Most of the time this thing's just a file (and torrent) server, but it does web/application hosting, some audio transcoding for streaming, runs several VMs...

So I've been out of the game for a little while, but my 8800GTX is now dead and I need to find a replacement. I haven't been following graphics cards lately, so I'm hoping you guys can give me a push in the right direction. What modern card does the 8800GTX compare to? I assume I shouldn't...

I'm working on a project and I have a query i want to do on the database. I know how I could accomplish what i want using a couple queries and some php, but I much rather accomplish this task in one query. I have a table like so: mysql> select * from ingredients_link...

Thanks for the reply. That's the correct part, yes. Unfortunately I had already figured it out, fairchild has a part marking search on their website. You may be happy to know I replaced the part and all is well....I friggen hate desoldering SMT packages though.

Could someone please help me determine what this part is? U5 in the images below Z84B is what it says on the top (90% sure using magnifying glass) Some background: The two traces that go to the header connect to the header as you would expect. The header itself connects to an...

I'm not using Windows as a router, I don't want to. I just want the server to have direct access to both networks.

Could you be slightly more specific? I don't see any per interface area.

The new 2008/Vista firewall seems like a good idea, but it doesn't work the way I would expect it to...that, or I don't know how to use it. Here is what I'm trying to do: I have a 2008 machine with two network interfaces. One of them is connected directly to the internet, the other is...

I was worried that might be what you meant... Your wording was kind of ambiguous. ...I don't think there is an answer for you then, unfortunately. Have you tried upgrading the firmware? Although I have no reason to believe they added that.

Okay, now I have the GS724T, but I assume it's the same. - Go to the VLAN settings page - Create a new VLAN (drop down menu > Add new VLAN) - Change to the settings page for that VLAN (drop down menu > your vlan ID) - Click on the white boxes for the ports that you want on this VLAN. I...

Do you still have them? do you want me to tell you how? It's not that hard.

Juuuuust out of curiosity, what Netgear switches did you have? GS724T or a variant? Cause you can change the default VLAN with that switch (I own two). But to answer your question, you can on the HP too.

I could ask you the same thing. How [do you get so little battery life]? All I do is run with the back light turned down a little (not all the way), have Vista on power saver (this is VERY important), and have bluetooth off. Hell, I could get more than 3 even with the brightness all the way...

Cool, good stuff. I hope it comes to me soon (Visual Studio 08 has been there for ages....)

Does anyone have any idea when Server 2008 will be coming to MSDNAA? ...I assume it will be, as 2003 is...

I run Vista and I can get 5.5 hours I'd say on my x61 tabet. I only got the 5400 rpm drive (for reasons of battery life), but I have 4 gigs of ram (which I would say eats battery life). It seems to me that the X61 gets more battery life than the X61 Tablet (which is because of the extra power...

Hey, sweet laptop. :p

Yeah, I much rather have 1400x1050. 1024x768 is just way too low, and if you are using it in tablet mode you are going to have the pen in your hand anyway.

That's not entirely true, a three drive RAID 5 array where one drive is taken away isn't exactly the same as a two drive RAID0. Either way, I'm not completely crazy (not completely :rolleyes: ), I know that the ARC-1220 does not support creating a degraded array. All I'm saying is that I'm...

No, you can most defiantly purchase 10 gigabit copper ethernet. Wikipedia, An example card from Intel Edit: I even found you a regular 10GBASE-T card to use a normal STP or UTP cable :)

It does. As someone who owns a X61 Tablet, and prior to that attempted to use a standalone Wacom tablet + laptop to take notes, I will say this: GET THE X61!!! There is no comparison. Hauling around an extra piece of hardware is awkward, harder to use, and you just don't get the same...

Damn, I just looked in the manual for the ARC-1220, and it does in fact require 3 drives. However, Wikipedia will back be up when I say that it is sometimes possible to create a degraded RAID 5 array with only 2 disks. Either way, looks like I'll be migrating when I add the third drive :)

I don't think that's true. I think you can do it with 2 drives. Obviously it would be more like a RAID1 (although different), but I think you can do it. Well, I guess it depends on the card.

Worklog started.

Well, it's about time that I get myself a file server and finally make the move to gigabit. So why not do it in style? Server parts on order Supermicro SuperChassis 743T-645B Areca ARC-1220 1TB Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 x2 250GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+...

Hmm, I think I'll just use the Worklogs forum under Cases & Case Modding. That's where Ockie did his for Galaxy x.x. Afterward I'll post the completed network portion in the gallery.

So where do you think would be the best place for a work log then? Here, or in Disk Storage Systems?

That would be nice. And quite honestly, if one went missing they would never know...but I suppose that's not the point. I work for Shell, and the the Shell network is very standardized across every single location. The configuration that we actually do at our end is extremely limited, so the...

Step down in quality? Lenovo is the one responsible for the magnesium-alloy "rollcage" in ThinPads, they are the ones who started using carbon fiber reinforced plastic, they brought back the tablet, they added the keyboard drain holes...the list, I'm sure, goes on. I will admit that when...

Well yeah, I'm lookin' at web managed switches (like the 1800-24). Those are all in the same class. I guess the HP and the Netgear are just better than some others. (although I've got to say I'm a little disappointed that Linksys dropped the ball there)

I'll take that as a challenge :) . Maybe, like HP, they just don't make it blatantly obvious, but Dell PowerConnect 2724 and Linksys SLM2024.

You went the exact opposite direction I did. I just moved from a Dell to a ThinkPad. I think you're going backwards :P. Sorry to hear that about the laptop though.

That's good to know. I suppose they just assume that you would expect SNMP on their switches.

Okay, well that's good. I've got to say that their website (at least the Canadian one) is a little lacking in detail. SNMP is not mentioned once.

Well now that you say that; just out of curiosity, what needs do you have that the HP can deliver that the Netgear can not? Obviously, one could argue quality. Or if one had lots of HP equipment already, it may be nice to have everything the same. But other that that, I don't really see any...

Slightly confused. Are you asking something about the speed of the card, or are you just asking about how long before the card dies?
