    Need help with Backtrack.

    Clearly, as the OP implies, I am not qualified to do it for him since I'm not a networking guy. He's a student, not a professional. It was a very small part of the assignment from what I understand, so it wasn't critical to find the answer. If it was more critical, I would have picked up the...

    Need help with Backtrack.

    The better question is who visits the Networking section of an Anandtech while being so much out of the loop and asking questions like that. Which school would NOT use backtrack for a network security class? To answer your question, the school in question is a small private university called...

    Underclocking AMD Phenom II X6 1055T

    Thanks Rifterut. I'll look into the software. As you might be able to tell, I've been out of the game for a while. I've been using strictly laptops for too long. Boy have things changed since last time I put together a rig!

    Underclocking AMD Phenom II X6 1055T

    C n Q does do that, but only to an extent. I'm pretty sure I can get it lower by underclocking. The other thing is that I use the "Turbo Button" mode my ASUS motherboard to switch between stock (2.8 ghz) and 4Ghz. This requires me to disable C n Q. I'd like to set the Turbo Button to...

    Underclocking AMD Phenom II X6 1055T

    What can I do to lower the power usage of this CPU when I'm not running my power hungry multithreaded apps? I have the 125 watt version and would love to get to use much less than that. Well, obviously it runs less than that at light load, but I mean comparable to a 65 watt or so. Thx

    Which case would you use?

    Thanks guys. I know they aren't current but I don't want to go out and spend $$ on a new one when I have one already... especially for only 5-10% benefit.

    Which case would you use?

    Thanks, but is bigger always better? I don't mind it taking up less space.

    Which case would you use?

    Building an average everyday browsing and multimedia desktop, which will be upgraded to a gaming machine once the bulldozer drops. I already have these cases sitting around: - Ultra Aluminus (ATX, Aluminum, Motherboard tray, front door panel) - Ultra Wizard (Mid ATX, Steel) - Cooler...

    Motherboard questions for Sempron 140

    Hey thanks. I was shopping around a bit. Is there any reason why I shouldn't get the "V" version of this board? It's part of a combo discount at Newegg with something else I need. It seems like it's almost identical to the "M" but standard ATX and the stuff that comes along with that (extra...

    Motherboard questions for Sempron 140

    Thanks SP12 and Iron Woode! I'll look into the motherboards you recommend. I went with the Sempron because it'll be a secondary machine. I have an asus gaming laptop as well, but needed a second machine to run some software on for a startup I'm working on. It doesn't need to be fast...

    Motherboard questions for Sempron 140

    So it's been years since I've build a desktop. I've been living off of laptops for the most part. (To put it into perspective, my last build was an FX51) Anyways, decided on Sempron 140 for price and lower wattage. I don't need much more and I plan on attempting to unlock the second core...

    what is your a/c set at?

    78 almost all day since I work from home. 75 from 5:30PM to 8:30PM since the sun really gets us while it's setting. (Thermostat is in a bad place)

    Fanless Coolermaster Gemini II (Original huge one) and Sempron 140?

    I'll keep you posted on how things go. Only thing I'm missing is a motherboard now. Probably a DDR2 board since I have some extra sticks, and one with ACC... as I want to play with possibly turning the Sempron into an Athlon II X2.
