    Slow Outlook 2010 search issues from Citrix environment.

    We are running Outlook 2010 in Xenapp6 and seeing the same issue against Exchange 2010 SP1. I don't recall this being an issue with lookout 2007, and seems to be a relatively new issue with 2010 (we've been running it for some time now). Let me know if you find a resolution...

    mybook 3 TB drive - can I change sector size?

    Indeed. First of all, this is simply for one VM and it's running DPM, so performance is not critical. Second of all, USB3 performance is actually very respectable and on par with sata - more than enough for this application. The size is key here, not performance. It's 2011 Microsoft, get...

    mybook 3 TB drive - can I change sector size?

    I'll check with western digital tier 2 on Monday in case they have a trick to turn on 512b emulation, but other than that I suppose I'll have to return the drive. Bummer!

    mybook 3 TB drive - can I change sector size?

    It's the USB 3.0 version of the drive. I plugged it in and reinitialized it as GPT. I can create a 3 TB (2.7gb partition) no problem and copy files to it etc. It's only Hyper-V that freaks out. I also tried repartitioning it with MBR and created a 2 TB partition - same error. I think it is...

    mybook 3 TB drive - can I change sector size?

    I was surprised to see it as well (2008 R2), but that is the error I get only on this drive: "the sector size of the physical disk on which the virtual disk resides is not supported"

    mybook 3 TB drive - can I change sector size?

    I bought a mybook 3tb usb3 drive with the intention of using it to store Hyper-V VHD virtual disk files. Hyper-V is reporting that it cannot use drives with 4k sector sizes (way to go, microsoft). I have heard that the built-in WSB (same engine used for win7 backups) also has this limitation...

    should I go socket 1366 now and upgrade soon?

    Yep, my T710s both have 9x4GB and I am about to replace half of those with 8GB sticks. The plan was to use the replaced 4GB sticks in my new Asus MB but the damn thing doesn't post using those sticks. !#K$JK%H!%!

    should I go socket 1366 now and upgrade soon?

    Let me see if I can try to alleviate the confusion, sorry for being all over the place: I ultimately need two machines: my workstation (with gtx460 in mac pro case) and a server (with 24 GB ram) that is hopefully relatively quiet as it will be in the house, replacing a loud server that is...

    should I go socket 1366 now and upgrade soon?

    I kinda like the idea of going with a socket 1156 server board... because I will be freeing up a bunch of 4 GB RDIMMS from another server that I can pop in there instead of having to buy all new memory. My concern is physical layout... All the server boards seem to have only a single x16...

    should I go socket 1366 now and upgrade soon?

    Trust me, I need that much memory :-) It's for virtualization. My current Hyper-V host only has 16 GB and it's very tight to virtualize a DC, Exchange server, and DPM server all on there...

    should I go socket 1366 now and upgrade soon?

    Been limping along with a C2D dell workstation, but it won't physically take my new gtx460 (my power supply will fit but dual slot boards won't fit in this optiplex case). So I am thinking of accelerating my new project which is to build my new machine into a Mac Pro case. I don't have the...

    e8400 @ 3.6ghz stock hsf 70c ok?

    The bios had voltage set to auto, so I hard coded it to 1.25. CPU-Z is now reporting it at 1.184, rarely jumps up to 1.2 or 1.212 Idle temps dropped to 39, temp after 10 minutes of orthos load is sitting at 61 Guess I'm ok at that voltage? Anything to be concerned about? Thanks...

    e8400 @ 3.6ghz stock hsf 70c ok?

    Even though the vcore is left at stock in the bios, cpu-z is reporting it at 1.312... Is this normal, or should I try lowering the voltage slightly in the bios? Would that even make that big a difference in the temps? I have two large case fans, but they are both set to low currently. The...
