    MX records and "backup servers"

    I am actually a proponent of *REMOVING* the additional MX record... the purpose of my questions is to find real reasoning that keeping the extra record can cause issues. I believe you are agreeing that yes, it is possible something such as a shoddy network connection on an outbound server CAN...

    MX records and "backup servers"

    I completely understand that it is very unlikely all 5 Google servers will fail--Essentially I am looking a scenarios where another failure somewhere along the line causes mail to be delivered to the old server. Again, with the example of a shoddy internet connection on the sender's side... Is...

    MX records and "backup servers"

    What if their (sending) mail server had a bad connection is kind of what I'm getting at, not that the guy at his desk has a bad connection. Does this change things?

    MX records and "backup servers"

    Hi all. I work with email systems frequently, and have run into a fairly "deep" question regarding MX records. In a circumstance when moving from one email system to another, the MX records are eventually changed to permanently point to the new system. If the old mail server remains...

    Help with Server 2008 Domain Controller problem!

    I have a machine with Windows Server 2008. It is the primary (only) domain controller. AD was working fine. I decided the weird name Windows gave the machine wouldn't be suitable for a domain controller, so I renamed it through system properties. Now AD doesn't work, and it won't let me...

    Google Apps in Canada and other countries

    So under FIPPA it states: "personal information" means recorded information about an identifiable individual other than contact information And "personal information" is not allowed to be stored outside of Canada without permission of the person to whom it pertains. So, basically, things...

    Google Apps in Canada and other countries

    We've all heard the argument against using Google Apps due to the Patriot Act etc. When it really comes down to it, Google's privacy agreements uphold that the data belongs to YOU or YOUR corporation. Yes, it is likely to be stored within the United States, but belonging to a Canadian...

    DP55WG Board Troubleshooting

    I just put together a PC for my brother with this Intel board, an i7 860, and Mushkin 1600mhz Blackline. I've removed every unecessary componenet, and swapped PSU and memory and the PC continues to do nothing but power cycle over and over. No code is shown on the boards two-digit LED...

    First major upgrade in 4 years!

    I think you'll find in the grand scheme of things, OCZ really doesn't make any "high end PSUs" in comparison to other brands. That's why they keep the PCP&C brand alive. A good quality 600 watt PSU should be able to handle something like 2x4870 in crossfire. To run a 5770, a 400 watt would be...

    Different mulitiplier/clocks per core, is this a bad idea?

    I'm sorry, but this is wrong. I can see how it's remotely possible with huge clock differences, but I don't see where you did your research for this.

    First major upgrade in 4 years!

    I think there is a lot of misinformation in this post. If I were in your position OP, I would start with an Athlon II x4 630, a sub-$100 gigabyte board, 2GB of memory, and if at all possible you most definitely should be buying a new PSU (400W corsair would be way more than enough, this...

    [Poll] Which technology will be more important to reducing game development costs over the next 3 years of gaming?

    Tesselation is not really a "new" technology, the Xbox 360 has a tesselator, and ATi cards since the 2000 series had tesselators. I Agree that tesselation won't technically make development easier and cheaper, but it is possible because it allows developers to get a better result with less...

    WinXP doesn't recognise my video card, after drivers removed.

    Try physically uninstalling the card, rebooting, shutting down, reinstalling, and turning back on again. Windows should detect it. Does it not let you install the ATi drivers?

    Poor Crossfire results in ArmA II

    Well, supposedly crossfire has been working under windows xp since the games release. I've confirmed this with GPUZ. It appears to show load across both cards, except they usually average out at around 50-60% each instead of being pushed to full load.
