Not sure if this is in the right forum or not, but it's worth a try. I currently work with roughly 300+ servers scattered all over North America, Europe and the Middle East. We connect remotely to these servers using SSH and SSH2. We are currently using a program called Smart Term...

Can anyone tell me the real difference between PCI-e 16x and AGP 8x? I have been searching for recent benchmarks in games using both but I have only found fairly old articles that state there is not much of a difference at all. Can anyone please provide me with some sites that are up to...

If your connection is PPPoE, do you see anything that says "PPPoE adapter" with an IP address? That should be the IP address of the Local Network. Your "Ethernet Adapter" will have the IP of the VPN connection.

Well if you make a successful VPN connection, and try to go to 192.168.1.1, since that is the IP of the router on the network, of course you will get it's web interface. Also, when you check your IP address, you should have both the IP address of the local network you are on as well as the IP...

If that's your rig, then whos rig is that in your sig?

Well, thats good to know. I was reading some rather vague tutorials online and they mentioned that I had to first load the SATA drivers onto a 3"1/2 and then load them in during the windows installation in order for the OS to be installed on the SATA drive.

I am setting up a SATA drive on my PC for the first time and am a bit stumped on exactly how it's done. Is it like a standard IDE HDD where the motherboard detects it on startup, or is there something I have to do to make sure it's recognized? I know that I would have to enable SATA in the...

If it's a home network, I suggest you DONT create an SSID that others can see and connect to. Remember, this is YOUR internet connection therefore anything done off of it is YOUR responsibility. My friend had the police knocking at his door one day. Apparently someone was connecting to...

Thanks for the info guys. i guess the choice is simple.

In terms of speed? Isnt the 3800 only 2.4GHz? Forgive my ignorance when it comes to processors. I know just about every other aspect of a PC inside and out....I have pretty much neglected the changing processor technology since I upgraded my PC last year.

Way better in what way? The PC will mostly be used for games.

My brother is in the market for a new PC and wants something fairly powerful. Im a bit at odds on what to recomend for a processor. He has mentioned the AMD64 3800 and the P4 3GHz as the main choices for processor, but neither he nor I are are too familiar on all the specs of the new line...
