My friend just moved into a new apartment complex and they provide wifi for their residents but the coverage sucks in his apartment. He can only get a decent signal in the one corner of his place. Is there a way to use an old linksys WRT54g router to "extend" the network and provide better...

That's perfect, thanks for that. What is the visual difference between high and ultra if you don't mind?

How so? Am I not going to see a difference with my current rig and resolution? I want to run everything at max settings.

Sweet, thanks for the info. :thumbsup:

Looking to pick up a 560ti to get by playing BF3 and Skyrim until I can build a new rig. I have my q6600 at 3.2ghz. Think I'll be ok or bottlenecked? I'll be playing at 1680x1050.

I want to pick up a 560ti to throw in the system in my sig to play this and skyrim. Do you think I'll be ok with the rest of the system and just the new vidcard? I'll be playing at 1680x1050.

A mix of XP and Win7.

I used this already on a couple of machines that were giving me problems with the http://connect app and it doesn't provide a way to rename the local folder afaik. It works great to reassociate the domain account with the local folder though.

So we recently upgraded our server at work and moved to a domain from a workgroup. I migrated all the existing local user accounts to be associated with the new domain accounts which is all well and good, but the local profile folder is still named the same as the old local user account. Is...

Thanks for the input. I don't really mind if it's used or not. I guess a better question would be what GPU is going to max out my CPU but not be overkill? I'm willing to spend a couple hundred bucks, maybe a little more.

I'm looking to pick up a vidcard to get me by until I build a new rig at the beginning of next year. I'd like to be good to play mw3, deus ex and skyrim. My current rig is in my sig, and I was thinking of picking up a 560ti. Does this sound good? Any specific card or just the cheapest one?

I'll go with 29" then. I read that with the threaded holes you need an adapter for the Dell ready rails. I'll contact them to confirm. Thanks again.

Excellent, thanks so much. It's a 4 post threaded hole rack. Our current server and other equipment in the old crappy rack is all cantilevered. I'll be moving that stuff, but we're probably getting a new Dell R510 or R610 server. So 29" would be good, or is that just minimum? Could I go a little...

Not sure where else to put this - I'm putting together the server rack for our new office space and I'm wondering if there is a standard or most common depth for a server rack. It is adjustable from 24"-36". I know most components have rails that are adjustable to accommodate different depths...

Looking for a small program that will create a new folder in a specified location with a user input name and then a bunch of standard subfolders underneath that new folder. Does anything like this exist?

I have someone I am working with at Dell, is this what you mean by a rep? They configured that system you see above. I emailed them about reconfiguring with SAS drives to see the price difference. They are recommending a separate RAID 1 array for the OS and then a RAID 5 for storage. Is this a...

Here's the full specs of the server that I was quoted for ~3600 which is at the top of our budget: 224-8665 1 PE R510 Chassis for Up to Eight Hot Swap Hard Drives, LCD 330-5462 1 PowerEdge R510 Shipping 317-7302 1 12GB Memory (3x4GB), 1333MHz Dual Ranked RDIMMs for 1 Processor...

We're relocating our small architecture firm and in the process upgrading our network. We currently have a file/print/dhcp server running 2000 server, seven workstations, a couple laptops, an NAS box for archiving, and a few printers/plotters. Currently, everyone logs in locally at each...

I'm building a new gaming system, mainly for Skyrim, but also for Deus Ex, Battlefield 3 and a couple other titles. I don't mind waiting as I have a decent rig right now, but I'd build it ahead of time if nothing worth waiting for (hardware-wise) is coming out before then. I've been out of the...

Ah, ok. Well, I'm going to run two cards, so one card with have a monitor on DVI and displayport-->dvi adapter, and the other card will just be on DVI.

What's up with this active adapter stuff? I'm not up on displayport. It looks like the cards I'm looking at come with an adapter. What's the difference?

Yeah, just basic Autocad Architecture, just 2d work. Doesn't the card come with the adapter?

I'm thinking of just doing two quadro fx 580s. Two of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133273&Tpk=quadro%20fx%20580 in this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131405&cm_re=asus_p7p55d-_-13-131-405-_-Product Sound good?

Maybe I wasn't clear, but this is a new build. I don't have any of the components yet.

The monitors are DVI-D. So I'd just need one dongle?

We need to build a couple new CAD workstations for the office and instead of giving both new machines to the grunts I'm specing one out for myself and giving my old one to one of them. I found another monitor in our storage room that matches the two I'm using now so I'd like to setup my new...

No, it was a big issue for a lot of people. The fix they had did nothing and sp1 was supposed to fix it and didn't. It looks like there may be another fix now. I might have to give it a try on my home computer. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/937077

That's weird. If you search for "windows xp oem" that is not a result.

Did they fix that sound issue where after the computer sat or suspended there would be no sound? That irritated me to no end and was my main reason for going back to xp after trying out vista 64.

I'm currently building a pc for my boss (who's also my dad) to replace his old piece. Here at the office (an architecture firm), we're running 32 bit xp on all our pcs with the server running win2k server. His new computer is a core i7, 6gb ram, etc., and I was thinking of putting xp64 on it. I...

Got one, thanks.

Got one, thanks.

So I'm setting up my boss' new NEC LCD3090WQXi. The native resolution is 2560x1600 but I can't get it to go above 2048x1536. The graphics card is an AGP Radeon 2400 Pro with Dual Link DVI that supports this resolution but it doesn't even list it as an option. I'm using the lastest drivers for...

Just slightly over your budget at $329 but I just picked up an HP w2207 at Circuit City and I'm loving it. Screen is perfect, no defects, and looks spectacular. No discernible "ghosting" in games as opposed to my old Viewsonic VP191b.

I just got one of these monitors (STM001) and I'd also like to know how to properly calibrate it, without a calibration tool that is.

I apologize for not being more specific. I blame the New Year's festivities. Anyway, I will be mostly using it for gaming and general use (internet, email, etc.). I do some photoshop and whatnot but nothing to the point where it would influence my monitor choice. My budget is ~$400 max. I'd like...

Currently I have a Viewsonic VP191b. It is decent, a 19" TN panel I believe. I'm looking to go with a 20-22" widescreen. It seems that all the new panels are also TN, so I'm not sure if I should just wait for new tech or go with something in the interim? Just looking for opinions I guess or if I...

good stuff, thanks for the info
