    3 - 8600GT's and a multiple monitor setup.

    Do you have the latest Vista drivers from the nVidia website?

    Hard Disk Migration

    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...

    Is this all compatible??

    I wouldn't recommend a crap system. The reason is that crap systems come with crap motherboards so, considering that the mobo is the component that connects your system together, you cannot make a decent machine on a crap motherboard. That said, with your original components, here are my...

    Advice on buying a new PC

    Since I don't know why anyone would need/want 2 TB and you said you considered downgrading it, here is my suggestion. Get a 150 GB Western Digital Raptor and second hard drive of whatever size you need (1 TB is what you would get, I assume). The single 150 GB Raptor would be much faster than a...

    HDD: Capacity and Partition Scheme

    There is no reason to over complicate this. While 2 hard drives have definite benefits it is not necessary. As Tech said, it is an issue of money. If you only want one drive I would just make 2 partitions, one for the OS and programs, and one for media/documents. As far as which hard drive...

    Gigabit Wireless AP

    Yes, the WAP4400N is Draft 802.11n certified. This does not however, in any small way, mean that it won't work with wireless b/g devices. From the Linksys product page: All that being N means to me is that it should function as an 802.11g MIMO AP. And, back to security. Yes, someone...

    Gigabit Wireless AP

    Well, the WRT54GL is definitely not the best option here. First of all, a router is not needed, and to support these clients a more powerful AP would be needed. I talked to my boss today (separate from my school's IT guy, my boss is the sysadmin for a tech firm) and he suggested a combo of...

    Gigabit Wireless AP

    As I said, wiring is cost prohibitive. Believe me. If it was feasible that is what we would be doing. Anyways, so what you're saying is that each computer does not get 54 Mbps. If this is the case then a gigabit ethernet connection would not matter. Is this correct?

    Gigabit Wireless AP

    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...

    Firewall Distribution

    Ok, sounds good. I will most likely implement IPCop on the network this weekend.

    ok, got my new router

    Wait, are you telling me that the only way to configure this router is to edit a text file? If so, I hate to break it to you, but you got swindled. I would look and see if there is a web administration interface for it. To access it try typing in what your computer says its primary gateway is...

    E6750 Overclock

    Well, multiplier is stock, it is only unlocked down. That puts the FSB at 1550 MHz. The timings on the RAM are as advertised, but the RAM is running over 100 MHz lower than advertised. Also, I have loosened the timings all the way and it doesn't change anything. Also, I might not have the best...

    My new PC 2008 :: Configuration(s) :: Need advice(s)

    I would definitely go for the Antec NeoPower. They have been nothing but good for me.

    E6750 Overclock

    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...

    Firewall Distribution

    Ok, well, if I were to say that roadwarrior VPN with a dynamic DNS on one end was my primary concern would you tell me to use IPCop? Also, hardware is no issue for me, I have a nearly unlimited supply of P4's with 512 MB RAM.

    What RAID is the best on performance?

    Sure, but if you don't mind point me to the ones you want help with.

    My new PC 2008 :: Configuration(s) :: Need advice(s)

    This is only part of the story.While the statement about the video card is true, the one about the CPU is only half right. While overall clock speed plays a big part in a system's speed it is not the only thing. FSB speed and cache size will also pay big dividends. Also, you never know how much...

    What RAID is the best on performance?

    Well, while yes, you could do this there is not much reason to. While yes, there is a tiny possibility of both of your hard drives failing simultaneously that chance is very, very small. That said, a RAID 5 will protect you from data loss just as well as a RAID 1, barring the infinitely small...
