Valid point. Luckily this MB has the 4 memory slots, so I will just stick in another 16 GB, if I see that I need. I was trying to keep the initial cost down with the 16.

Hey guys, I completed my build, as shown below. The power supply was one I had bought previously, everything else is new. I decided to go with an SSD, the the G.Skill memory, but the other items were based on recommendations seen here. System has been up and running for almost a month with no...

Thanks for the feedback guys. One question I have had as I have researched this is how beefy a video card I need. I am not a gamer, but I want to be able to play high-res videos and stuff. Ken, on your suggestion is there a potential to save a little on the video card? I don't want to cheap...

Hello, I am looking my first new system in about 5 years, any input would be appreciated. Thanks.. 1. What YOUR PC will be used for. Photo editing, Lightroom and Photoshop. Otherwise just general tasks email web browsing etc... 2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as...

Good idea, I'll give that a try. Thanks!

Thanks guys, inotify appears to be exactly what I need, only problem this box is AIX instead of Linux..

Does anybody know of a method to monitor a directory, and if a file lands in that directory kick off a script? I would like to avoid using cron if possible, and make the file arrival the trigger a action rather than cron running a script to process the file. Thanks, JD

Ok, newb question here... I have this motherboard: ASUS P5Q and this memory: Gskill 2x2GB There are four slots on the motherboard (yellow black yellow black) and I have two sticks of memory. My question - does it matter which slots the memory goes in, and if so which slots should I use...

Thanks for the info. I would have to install XP/Vista 64 to take advantage of the 8GB of memory, wouldn't I?

JPB, Yeah that card looks nice, especially the lower price. Also like the suggested case, the one I had listed came with a 500w ps. Would I need this much juice to power this setup? krnmastersgt, Nothing huge, either 6 or 10MP, RAW images. Using Photoshop Elements to process and edit the...

No gaming. Just photo and possibly some simple video editing. I want a quality card, but as you suggest, I don't want to overspend for what I need. Any recommendations for a alternative? Thanks!

Doing my first build in several years and wanted to get some opinions. My budget is ~$550. The primary focus of the machine, other than normal day to day use will be photo editing. No plans to overclock. I already have a Hard Drive, DVD drive and TV Tuner card to use. I plan to pull the trigger...

Wannyfly, mail send is exactly what I am looking for. My only question would be, how do I specifiy a password if I need to login to the smtp server?

merk, thanks for the input. I currently use Outlook as my email client, but I will look into the others listed to see if they offer a command line option. JD

Is there any type of software that I can use to automatically send an email based? For example, I would like to check for a file every so often, and if that file exists email it to my self. I can write a batch file to do the checking, but I am not sure how to email the file in the background...
