Can I mix registered and unregistered RAM modules on an MSI BXMaster Mobo? I originally purchased 128 MB unregistered PC100 ECC CAS2 modules. I now need more than 512 MB of RAM (I'm running NT with SBS 4.5 with Proxy, Exhange, SQL), but MSI's manual lists that the BXMaster supports up to 512...

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good data/fax modem for use with my NT 4/ BackOffice Small Business Server 4.5 system. I hear that NT can be, well, picky about the hardware used with it. Someone, for example, told me not to use a PCI modem because of conflicts that communications...

I have been charged with the duty of administering our server at work running NT Server 4.0 with Backoffice Small Business Server 4.5. As our use of SBS implies, we are a small business using this one server in several capacities: it's our web server, FTP server, Exchange server, and file...

I recently put together my system and installed two 128 MB Crucial PC100 ECC RAM modules (Crucial item # CT16M72S4D8E). The specs for these particular modules list their SDRAM Timings as CL=2. I?m having difficulty figuring out how to adjust the settings within my BIOS to take advantage of the...

I received my MSI BXMaster mobo a few days ago and I have read over the manual carefully and examined the board to get familiar with all of the jumpers, headers, etc. I came across a thin, tan, wire-like item sticking about 1.5 cm above the mobo next to the CPU slot. The manual calls it a...

As I understand SBS is very picky and some modems that work well with NT or Win98 don't always get along with SBS. So I wanted to get recommendations on a good data/fax modem that will work without trouble in my SBS system. Thanks for the help.

I'm looking for RAM for my system and often see Registered RAM listed. How is registered RAM different from regular RAM? Is it more reliable, slower, faster?

>Well I assume that you have the PPoE software installed on the server? Yes. The EnterNet 300 software to which I referred in my post is the PPPoE software. >Secondly the primary NIC that goes to the DSL has an IP that is correct for the DSL? Yes. The NIC to the DSL modem has the...

I'm having trouble getting MS Proxy Server to work properly on my system running NT Server 4 with SBS. In short, our DSL modem can make a connection with our ISP but we can't surf the web (at the bottom of the broswer it lists "connecting to site 127.0.0.1" when we put in a web...

Perhaps my aspirations for this topic were too great. Let's make it short and sweet: Would the Asus CUBX or the MSI BXMaster be better for me? Thanks.

How much slower is ECC RAM compared to the regular RAM? Is it on the order of a few percent slower, or is it something much more significant?

So I want to get 256 MB for a system I'm going to build: CUBX or BXMaster, running NT 4 Server and BackOffice Small Business Server. I'm not going to ask you which brand to buy... yet; I'm more concerned with understanding all of terms used to describe RAM so I know that I'm getting. If I go...

I'm going to build a system using either the Asus CUBX or the MSI BXMaster motherboard. Before I begin with specific questions, I'm interested in hearing your feedback as to which you would recommend and why. I know both are pretty solid boards, but I'd value the input of people who use these...
