The system has been running off IDE drives fine. I decided to switch to SATA drives, I was planning on using windows to mirrir the IDE drive onto the SATA drive and then remove the IDE drive (hoping it all then works off the serial drive-have had good luck with windows mirroring lately)...

The system has been running off IDE drives fine. I decided to switch to SATA drives, I was planning on using windows to mirrir the IDE drive onto the SATA drive and then remove the IDE drive (hoping it all works-have had good luck with windows mirroring lately). However, I cannot even get the...

I have the MSI SLI board and am having an issue I cannot figure out and am probably just not aware enough anymore of the little nuances of the chipsets. I have 4 sticks of ddr...2 are ddr 333, 2 are ddr 400. Both are pairs and all are 512 meg. So, I put all four in and the most I can get is...

Read it again guys-this is a new set of instructions, in the hardware, that COULD refuse to run certain code. It starts with the Athlon 64 cpu. This 'optimization' or whatever, is being advertised as an enhancement that could and should block certain viruses, specifically worms that execute...

Anyone else read this and gasp? MS to intro hardware-linked security for AMD64, Itanium, future CPUs http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/33729.html Cheers Greg

Check out www.doom9.org I built what is basically a TiVo system and it works awesome with little tweaking to get what I want. I used a card made for the purpose, the Hauppauge WinTV PVR 250. It is a PCI card that comes with nice recording/viewing software and the hardware, with the latest bios...

Check this out http://www.sceptre.com/Products/LCD/x9naga.htm This monitor sells at Sams club (on line at least) for $699 including shipping. I just bought a KDS Rad-9 with a 35ms refresh and it hurts when playing FPS games. This claims a faster refresh by dividing the screen in half and...

Wow...that 'clear type' thing worked pretty good. Almost too good. I might have to see if I can get used to it. The jaggies are the issue more than anything. I played JKII to see how it looks (already finished the game on a CRT) and am not overly impressed. Was playable, but one could almost get...

Ok, so I took the plunge and picked up the KDS 19' RAD-9 at Sams Club for $900. I am happy but not elated with the quality of the video, little jaggy for me. I have a Visiontek (I think) GF3 Ti200...no DVI out... I will be needing a VIVO card and am wondering if I should go after a newer GF$...

hmmmm.that is food for thought as my GF3 does not have a DVI port, so I would be going analog. A new cable makes it better you say, the cable it comes with stinks. I wonder if I need to consider a new video card also. Without being a FPS player, I cannot notice a huge difference between my GF2...

Yes, my patience is being tested as Anandtech has promised more LCD reviews and I am curious to what they observe. I found a great lacking of 19" reviews on trusted sites but a whole bunch of 15" and 17" reviews. Sams Club has been selling this 19" KDS for a while now and the stocks are starting...

Greetings Sams club has me thinking about a KDS Rad-9 as it is a mere $900 right now and they are good with returns if there are dead pixels. However, in doing reasearch, I came across this deal at Newegg: CTX INTL. 19" LCD MONITOR Model PV910MD Retail Speifications: 19" Diagonal Viewable...

The biggest problem I found with Exchange and most mail servers was blocking out spammers from using you as a relay. They all claim to have authentication techniques and security features, but many times properly enabling them made learning Linux sound like a kids game. Others simply did not...

Argosoft is a very easy Windows based server to install as part of a web server My intial post I did err in saying any platform. I should have said any Windows platform (95/98/Me/2K/XP/Server/Nt, etc.) Now had you completely read the second post, I did clarify Windows based. I am always...

Esmith might be free, but it does not offer any additional features compared to ArgoSoft. Esmith does, however, have warnings about installation, wants to completely reformat your hard drive and reinstall Linux and does not appear to be simple. When you have a stable server, running multiple...
