Ok, first of all, I'm pretty sure this thread fits best in the Storage forum but if it should be in the Windows forum please don't flame me. Alright, now to the good stuff. I have a jack-of-all-trades server running Windows Server 2003 R2. One of it's trades is a file server. The system is...

I am the IT intern at my school and I am working on finding a solution to a problem we are having in a classroom. We have a biology class equipped with around 10-15 Lenovo laptops. The teacher wants to use these for a program called CyberEd. It is an extremely multimedia intensive application...

Ok, I have an E6750, Asus P5N32-E SLI Plus, and 2 GB Patriot DDR2-1066. At the moment I have a stable overclock on the processor at 3.1 GHz. My RAM is at 950 MHz, considering that the system will not even POST when I crank it to 1066 (yes, I have put the voltage at the spec'd 2.3 V, loosened all...

Ok, I am trying to sort out which Linux firewall distribution will best suit my needs. At the moment I have a Smoothwall, which works pretty well for me. My biggest problem with it is the lack of a built in client-server VPN solution (at least as far as I can tell). My biggest priorities are...

Ok, at the moment I have 2 GB of Patriot DDR2. Newegg is running a deal on a Patriot 4 GB kit that looks mighty nice to me. my question is, if I get it, should I run 6 gigs or just 4 in dual channel?

OK, so I installed the new HWF kernel. The install appeared to work fine, so I went on. I could not get the Nvidia drivers to install properly, so I decided to boot back into the default kernel. Despite having Nvidia drivers and the exact same xorg.conf file as it did before my dual monitors no...

Ok, I am wondering if there is a linux command (of course there is, there is a linux command for everything) that will refresh my IP. I want something basically the same as "Repair" in Windows (well, just the renewal of IP, I don't care about clearing caches and such) or ipconfig /release-renew.

<rant>Ok, so yesterday I installed Kubuntu an my desktop along with XP. I am beginning to wonder why I bothered. I can see some of the reasons why people love Linux so much but I have had far more problems than solutions. Here are my reasons for being so dissatisfied: 1. I can't get dual...

I will apologize in advance for some poorly developed thoughts and little to no order. Try to bear with me. Also, I realize the networking forum is not the ideal place for this but I didn't see anywhere better. Well, it has been forever since I have gotten on here but in the time that has...

I am putting this post in the storage forum because I have a sneaking (well, more than sneaking) suspicion that it is hard drive related. I just built a new computer, with all new components, except for the hard drives. I have 4 80 Gb HDDs, 2 WD and 2 Hitachi. The 2 WD HDDs are only about 2 or 2...

Well, it turns out that my Computer Applications class is good for something. I had to look at articles on CNN tech and this is what I found: Intel, IBM unveil new chip technology I don't know if any of you have heard about this but it talks about using hafnium instead of silicon in...

Well, first of all I would like to say hey to everybody, it has been a long time since I have been active on these forums. Ok, there was a post a while back about this (http://www.hardwareforums.com/car-pc-13246/) and I thoguht I would give you an update. I did, in the end, decide to do this...

I think I have finally seen a game with near photo realism, MS Flight Simulator X. Check out this screenshot: http://i.i.com.com/cnet.g2/images/2006/074/931252_20060316_screen008.jpg. Here is a link to the official website: Flight Simulator X. This one might be worth the money just for the...

Okay, I was Newegg looking at processors and came accross someting I find interesting. The FX60 costs $811 while the 4800+ costs only $369. I compared them and it turns out everything, cache and core, is the same except for the clock speed. And even that is only 200 MHz. Does this mean that the...

Today I decided to overclock my computer and this is what I have at the end of the day. CPU: AMD 64 3500+ -Native clock: 2.2 GHz -Over clock: 2.5 GHz GPU: ATI X800 Pro -Core/Memory native clock: 470/450 MHz -Core/Memory over clock: 520/500 MHz The CPU OC is mediocre but I like the...

Well, My computer has been acting up recently and I can't quite say that i am sure why. Every now and then, like, about once a day, my computer either BSOD's or locks up. The lock up is more common. I cannot find any single scenario that causes it, but it will freeze and static-like sounds come...

Well, as of recently Microsoft has flooded the scene with betas. Windows Media Player 11 and Office 2007 have been released as free betas.I cannot use WMP 11 because it is uncompatable with x64, but I use Office 2007 and it is wonderful. There are many upgraded features and it looks great. Also...

Come on guys, we need more folders. Currently Sniper and I are the only active folders on the team. I have been running 2 CPUs for around 6 months so I have been pulling my weight. Running Folding is not a big deal. It doesn't slow down your computer and it runs in the background. Why waste your...

Ok, I have been doing upgrades to my network en masse and I think I am ready to tackle a VPN. So, my simple solution is to buy a wired VPN/Firewall Router. But, I still need to have wireless access. So, my question is, can my current wireless router (Linksys WRT54G) be configured as simply an...

Ok, well I posted a few days ago about running ethernet cable around my house and now I have a question. Well, it is actually two questions but, yea. A. What exactly does a patch panel do? B. Do/why do I need one?
