There is a way they could make a PR rating that would measure final CPU power and not just one part of the equation (like MHz). However, it would require a certain amount of industry/consumer support. First a non-biased third party organization such as Aberdeen (j/k!) could develope and...

On second though I realize you guys are right. Don't ever use IIS. If you use IIS you WILL GET HACKED. There is no question about it, and no way to avoid it. Why? Because IIS in known to be less secure than Apache and some sites that use IIS have been hacked. Because of this, the idea of...

"Because we all know you'll only get broken into if you have important data on your site... " I didn't say that important data is the only reason people hack sites. What I am saying is if IIS is secure enough for sites that are probably under attack fairly often (due to the info stored on...

That is what I though it meant, but 16MB seemed so small that I doubted it was right. Since the rest of the files come of the net, it makes a lot more sence now. Thanks.

I'm currently running Linux Mandrake on my extra PC. It's alright, but since my ultimate goal is to set up a server, I would like things to be trimmed down a bit. I followed the advice of a certain member here and checked out Gentoo Linux. I looks interesting, but the install CD is confusing...

Well here is another link about running fans at 7 volts, etc. In your case I would just change out the fan though. Run your fan at 7 volts link

I'm VERY happy with my Lite-On 24x and I have used many drives. I really don't think you can go wrong with either Plextor or Lite-On to be honest. The Lite-On is cheaper though.

This fan is nice an quiet and still has pretty good airflow. http://www.subzeropc.com/store/fan60253c.htm

Oh yeah, I notice everybody talking about the page file like it's this evil thing that only gets used if your system sucks, or doesn't have enough RAM. Comments such as "I have 1GB of RAM and XP STILL uses the page file!" This is simply not the case. It is true that Windows will use the...

""256 ram is enough" True or false?" The question is wrong. It is to vague. There are many factors that control this: OS: 256 is more than enough for Win9x. It's usually enough for 2000 was well. If XP is configured effeciently it is enough for XP as well. However, if you have all the...

Any UPS system by nature does the job of a surge suppresor/line conditioner. The UPS constantly moniters the power source and makes corrections as needed. To much power, the UPS will suppress the overvoltage. To little power, the UPS will supply extra via the battery. A line...

Use at prompt: convert D: /fs:ntfs not just "D: /fs:ntfs"

http://www.subzeropc.com/article/fantail.htm This article has some info on different kinds of connectors. You don't need the tach wire to use a 2 wire fan on a MB header. You just have to use the right connector type.
