    Single ethernet plug in the living room

    The problem with any of the cheap switches, is that they do not support multicast IGMP snooping. As such, with any of the telco TV (Telus TV, AT&T U-Verse, MTS Ultimate TV, etc) if you plug a set top box and some other device (computer, Xbox, etc) into the same switch, then all your TV traffic...

    Is Windows Server 8's Hyper-V finally the VMware killer?

    MS is calling it Windows Server "8" with the 8 in quotation marks. Leads me to believe it may not be called "8."

    XBox Dash Update - Dec 2011 Ed.

    Cloud saves are local and then sync back to the cloud, and they will work with a Live connection. If you browse your local hard drive, you'll see a 512 MB file called something like cloud save file.

    Is an iPhone used as a laptop modem as fast as a 3G stick?

    For what it's worth, I usually get 2-3 Mb/sec downloads on the phone itself, and 2-5 Mb/sec down when tethering. When the speeds are high they seem to be a little quicker tethering than on the phone directly. As for an internet stick, don't know, never used one.

    2.4 Ghz is too crowded for pratical use

    This thread made me laugh...because I agree 100%. If I'm connect to my 2.4 Ghz network, it is slower than even bluetooth tether on my phone. That's with putting my network on the most free channel I can see. edit: oops, I see I'm bringing up an old thread. Sorry about that.

    E6600 High Stock Temps

    I have a very similar setup to you P180, 4 fans all on flow, but I believe my cooler is the Ninja with the CPU fan on low (about 1300 RPM). My temps are almost always 1 degree below ambient, and peak under load at about 6 degrees ambient. Touching the base of the heatsink, these temps seem...

    87 octane vs. 89 octane

    Also, like someone previously has said, higher octane gas get worse mileage in cars that don't require it. Definitely something to keep in mind.

    Remote Restart Windows

    Did you try shutdown /i yet? As long as you have admin priveleges on that machine, it should let you reboot it. It does seem to work over the internet, assuming nothing blocks the message. Worth giving a try.

    Question regarding Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6

    I often missed things on their website, because all the sections (overview, specs, etc) all look the same. It seems their web site is slow to react a lot too, so that doesn't help.

    Question regarding Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6

    According to the web page for that MB: 1 x UDMA ATA 100/66/33 connector So you could, but one would have to be set to slave.

    Nevermind

    The lack of free space, means that all the space is currently allocated to a partition, so that makes perfect sense. Your posts make me want to stay away from using software raid 5 on my new build.

    Which Conroe Will You Be Buying?

    E6600 for me. I'm hoping it will be dropped shipped to me around the 5th of July. That's so close, I need to finalize the rest of my build.

    Hurry up Intel

    Makes sense, but just to see how it works out I've placed my order. If they raise the price they don't get my order...if it's delayed, I have the chance to order elsewhere, and if their face value claim works out, I get a nice computer built sooner rather than later. I'll be sure to let...

    Volume Delema

    My cheap Sony home theater system (in which the DVD player doesn't play most DVD's any more) has the same thing...they call it night mode...very handy living in a condo with downstairs neighbors with a baby.
