    Pick a virtualization platform, besides ESX(i)

    We run ESX in our core data center but we have many other sites on our WAN that we couldnt afford ESX for, ended up using CentOS + KVM, KVM is replacing XEN in RHEL so we jumped on the band wagon early, stability and speed has been great running Server 2008 VMs. You can find RPMs for for all...

    Thats totally understandable theres no sense jumping into something totally new when you lack the time or time to learn it. In that case choose the best tool for the job thats easy for your department to implement :)

    Another vote for request tracker, web based and open source, i used TrackIT a few years back found it horribly clunky and slow, there was an article on slashdot awhile back on this very topic check it out: http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/02/26/236248&from=rss Of course all those...

    how does ASUS Xonar DX PCI Express matchup against Xfi cards?

    In EAX 5 games i am able to enable EAX in EAX 4 and 3 games like CoD2 it will not let me select EAX.

    Vista and sound cards?

    my Xonar has been able to handle any OpenAL game ive thrown a it, EAX is a mixed bag, EAX5 works 4, and 3 don't, results in Quake 4, Prey and recent EAX5 titles are good, enabling EAX in older games either doesnt have any effect or just doesnt allow me to enable it period. Only games i have...

    how does ASUS Xonar DX PCI Express matchup against Xfi cards?

    I have a Xonar D2X and other then some sound issues in F.E.A.R (missing radio sounds) and Serious sam 2 (enemy sounds missing) i can say the card works great. EAX5 works in Quake 4, Bioshock, BF2, Prey..EAX4 and 3 so not seem to work however. Drives are very lean.

    Replacing Audigy 4 for vista

    also since my last post i have read a few reviews of the asus card which looks good, the drivers look like are pretty lean too, would you recommended the D2 or the D2X? They are both priced around the same only difference being PCI-E. There is also the cheaper DX model.

    Replacing Audigy 4 for vista

    well im really stumped, im not too interested in any Xfi card due to the driver bloat, but does the HT Omega even support OpenAL in hardware? From what ive found it doesnt which isnt too good. Im starting to look at the Asus cards, how are the drivers? Bloated or pretty lean?

    Replacing Audigy 4 for vista

    Right now im leaning towards the HT Omega Striker 7.1 it is supposed to have very good driver support and EAX really means nothing in Vista land correct? It can do OpenAL no problem from what Ive been reading too and that is more what counts these days...i think? :) No Nvidia chipset here...

    PCI Express 1.0, 1.1, 2.0

    I am away that PCI-E 2.0 is backward compatable with PCI-E 1.1, thing is i cant find anywhere in my manual if i have PCI-E 1.1 or 1.0a, im guessing since the boards only a little over a year old it should have 1.1 but i thought i would ask on here in case anyone else has knew offhand.

    Same thing here, built my new PC in sept with a 7900GT, before that i had a 6800NU AGP, played HL2 EP1 again, installed CoD2, Quake 4, Serious Sam 2, only newish games ive bought have been Prey, and Company of Heros...yet i cant help but feel the need to get a 8800GTS..but why :confused:

    Audigy 4 to HT Omega Claro

    I think ill end up giving my audigy a test on vista before buying a new card, if it sucks i have my XP install to fall back on until i can get ahold of the new card. I will also take your advice on the XM :) Edit: Just noticed the HT is 144.99...

    Audigy 4 to HT Omega Claro

    I was looking at that card because it has solid caps, maybe not a big deal but the build quality seemed really nice. Ive been reading reviews on all these new c-media based cards and they all look good so it may come down to whats available here in canada and price in the end. Do they support...

    IPCop and WRT54G

    I have actually run a similar setup awhile back, you are going to want to disable the DHCP server in dd-wrt since the ipcop is handing out ips now, and you are going to want to plug into the LAN side of the router and thats pretty much it. Now why its not broadcasting a SSID is a different...

    IPCop and WRT54G

    Just run a cable from your Green NIC to one of the routers LAN ports and use the router as a AP, it can also double as a switch. If you want to get a little more fancy you can throw in another NIC and create a Blue zone which if i remember right is IPcops wireless zone (Seperated from the green...
