    Get a Motorola Droid or wait for Verizon Iphone 4G?

    The chance of apple making a phone with a swappable battery is the same as apple open sourcing OSX. People have been saying the iPhone will be on verizon for the last 3 years. If it happens, it happens, I would not cross my fingers though.

    PCI Add on or IDE

    I am sure this has been discussed before more times then ever, but I could not find the answer.. so here ya go. I am running freeNAS and am loving it, though I only have a 160gb drive in it right now. I want to add 3 500gb drives in a software raid 5. On my MB I have 2 Sata 1.5gb ports and a...

    7900GT or Quadro FX3500

    So I recently got a workstation used by one of my friends that had a Quadro FX 3500 256mb in it. I currently run a 7900GT 256mb PNY. I do a ton of drafting, so the fact that this card is made for that really intrigues me. Now my question is should I keep the 7900 in my computer or put int he...

    That would explain it, now that I think about it and look at it further and actually read, I have seen these before.

    switching to fibre

    Well, if it works it works, it just will not be as fast as a switch would be. I would not transfer different 20gb files from one computer to another all at the same time or you will get collisions left and right. After further review, this thing is pretty old, if you are just wanting to play...

    switching to fibre

    As long as it complies to the 1000BASE-LX and whatever cable type you are using. You might want to ask if it is an actual hub, from my memory you can not run gbit through a hub, but you need a switch, I assume this is a typo. Due to the low price, I am also going to assume that this is a...

    switching to fibre

    It could be a console connection or some other piece of management gear. Also, with fibre it is running the 802.3 ethernet standard, just a variation that allows it to run on fibre. It is still ethernet. Also, fiber gbt is no faster then copper gbt, you simply have a bit more distance to run...

    Dual Boot XP and Vista after installation

    You should be able to set the boot order in bios, that might work, but that will cause a few other problems when you get the thing actually booted up.

    Wish I still had the pix, but I the first computer that I actually really got into was a brand new compaq 486 that I installed the upgrade 486 processor in as well as a reveal sound card/2x cd-rom combo (back when your CD-rom connected directly to the sound card). I remember playing wing...

    what is a good CAD program

    Really, If you are just wanting to do something simple, Sketchup might just do it for ya, and its free. Otherwise I use Vectorworks and AutoCAD most often. Haven't ever worked with solid works, everyone I work with uses either of the programs I mentioned above (I'm in theatre).

    VGA TO DVI

    My thought too. They are EIKA 10,000 lumen, it really surprises me they don't. Straight from the factory they do not, but the rental house might have thrown in a VGA input card.

    VGA TO DVI

    Hey all, I am using a triple head to go to feed multiple projectors for a show I'm working on. The projectors that we rented (haven't got my hands on them yet, still in the mail) only have DVI in's, and the triple head has VGA outs. If I understand correctly, you can not simply convert VGA to...

    I want to build a HTPC, how's my start?

    I went with the pvr250 for my first myth setup and it worked flawlessly. The only real problem with my setup was getting my correct time zone and time set in and I had a bit of a problem with my zap2it connection. I now want to throw in a 500gb hd and another tuner or two

    Looking for floppy/media card reader/all-in-one drive

    I don't think you will find one that is IDE, the conversions alone make my brain hurt. A 4 in 1 reader usually shows up at 4 seperate drives, and your IDE is 2 channel, so.... ya... you can do that math on that one... And getting a floppy to work on IDE just won't work. I am sure there are USB...

    Password accident

    There is a password recover program that runs on top of knoppix. I used it awhile back and it worked great. I cant rememeber the name, but it lets you modify your admin password, but will not show you the old one. If you are like me, you deleted the default admin acount and the default...
