    Have 2 ISP's @ home

    What if I don't want to use them evenly at all but just default everything through one ISP and route only certain specific traffic through the other? Such as, as posted initially, everything from my torrent client through my slower but unlimited-use broadband? As a concept, it is simple...

    That is because I did not understand all the implications of what they stated. You make it clear: No freaking way. Thanks.

    Have 2 ISP's @ home

    OK then... What if I have 2 Ethernets and plug them both directly into my PC... Or one for sharing with the rest of the household through a router and the other directly and then can I set up some of my traffic to go through one ethernet controller and the rest through the other one? If not...

    Have 2 ISP's @ home

    I have 2 broadband connections coming into my home. I can use both. Why not? Advantages would be possibly for example, downloading off one (the unlimited monthly use connection) and gaming off the other, faster but limited bandwidth connection. But how do I set it up?

    Building a new AMD rig...

    Yeah it's old... I upgraded other things, got an expensive Xerox solid-ink printer, my radeon HD4870 1Gb and WAITED for the new generations of CPU to come out, since AM3 seems to future-proof my stuff pretty well. Remember I'm running a socket 939 and changing everything to AM2 and DDR2 only to...

    Building a new AMD rig...

    So I guess right now the best will be to wait for the Phenom II X4 910 and build with that? Any idea when that's showing up? How 'bout the 925???? I thought they shoulda been out already and what with the OC'ing going on, I think they do look good... Thoughts?

    Building a new AMD rig...

    That sounds very good. I remember when the S939 first came out, I got an A64 3200+ on the premise of upgrading later... I now run an opteron 185 on that same board, changed video cards twice, changed RAM once... HDD's everything. I love upgrade paths that let me update what I choose when I...

    Building a new AMD rig...

    Well yeah, but I certainly HOPE there will be future CPU ugrades. I mean big time. The AM3 CPU's are supposed to be backward compatible with AM2+ so I heard last time I looked - granted that was a while ago - so I think there should be headroom? Plus I watercool, so I just might upgrade my...

    Building a new AMD rig...

    Any word on when the good mobo's are coming out? I will need at least 2 PCIe16 and one PCIe8... And hopefully it will let me do a good crossfire with them 4870x2... :D

    Opteron 185 EXTREMELY low memory bandwidth

    Oh man, BIOS was not at auto, but manual. So manual 200mhz means 200mhz DDR and auto also displays 200mhz, but in that case it means 400mhz DDR. UGH. I have no idea how long I've been running it like this. Damn, now I want to load a game, see what kind of difference this makes. :) Thanks
