    Trouble With Abit AV8

    I put an AV8 board into a new/replacement build with and AMD 3400+. I got everything setup and when I moved it to the clients house, it would not boot. It would post 9F which I believe is for lack of power. The PSU I'm using is a chepo that came with a case, but everything worked fine I setup it...

    Linksys SD2005 or EG005W

    I currently have an WRt54G using DD-WRT with 2 wired machines and 2 wireless machines all XP. I'm looking to at a gigabit switch to speed up transfer between the 2 wired machines. However I can't tell which one is the newest and which to get. Also what is the difference between the 2 Linksys...

    New Storage Server Build

    I haven't had a chance to try FreeNas, but I heard it was pretty good. I was thinking of before going final with this box, test Ubuntu and FreeNas each for a week or two and see which one I like. However, if I had to pick now, I would be leaning more towards Ubuntu.

    New Storage Server Build

    I'm new to PS terms. In the past, I would usually get a case with a PS and that would do. Now with more HD's and I'm finding out that all PS are not equal, this is something I need to pay more attention too. As for noise, not a bid deal as long as it is not super loud. At some point when I...

    New Storage Server Build

    I'm planning on building a storage/backup server out of some new/old parts I have. Currently I have 2 desktop and 2 laptops. The first desktop is my HTPC which used Beyond TV and has 2 500 GB drives. My second PC is the family PC, but it does everything. It has has 5 500 GB drives (storage &...

    WRT54G stop working with DD-WRT Firmware

    Well it looks to be something with the DD-WRT not longer working with my WRT54G. I'm currently using Tomato 1.17 and everything works just fine. I did a hard reset and upgraded through the normal process. I then setup PPPOE to connect to my ISP and away I went. I'm not sure why then the...

    WRT54G stop working with DD-WRT Firmware

    This is so strange especially since it just happened out of the blue yet it still works with other firmware. I may try Tomato and see how that works. Since it too is a more robust firmware like DD-WRT with many add-on features to see if it is the amount of work it has to do, or is it still...

    WRT54G stop working with DD-WRT Firmware

    One of the big features is the ability to do Site-to-Site Routed VPN. I have 2 other remote sites that are using the DD-WRT firmware and we all connect via VPN. I'll have to look at some of the other firmwares out there that hopefully have the same feature, but I don't think HyperWRT does or...

    WRT54G stop working with DD-WRT Firmware

    I did a hard reset before and after the upgrade, and nothing seems to work with any of my WRT54G's. Right now I'm using Linksys 4.21.1 and everything is fine. I tried to go step by step and eliminate possible things and right now I have to believe it is something with the firmware that is...

    WRT54G stop working with DD-WRT Firmware

    I've been using DD-WRT on my WRT54G v2 & v3 now for about 2 months. All of sudden, this pass weekend, I cannot open up any web pages when the using the firmware. I have tried, v24 RC 5 & 6.2 as well as v23 SP2 on 3 different WRT54G's all with the same results. I reset the router to default and...

    SP2004 failed after 12 hours

    I'm working on OC'ing my 4400+ (89W) and it failed after 12 hours. It was working fine as my method of checking is to see if the Num Lock Key is flashing. Since it would not, I figured I would move the mouse and see how long it was running. I checked the time and 2 seconds later it failed...

    Ready to buy - X2 4400+ (89w) or X2 4800+

    Sorry, should have said that both of these are the X2's so they both should have the 2x1MB L2 cache. I'll correct the OP. As for the X2 3800, it is 200 MHz lower than the X2 4400 and only half the cache. Is it worth it considering the slower starting speed and half the cache.

    Ready to buy - X2 4400+ (89w) or X2 4800+

    Ok, I think I'm ready to buy now. However, I can't decide between the X2 4400+ (89) or the X2 4800+. Is the extra $60 worth the 200MHz difference? I know I can probably overclock the X2 4400+ to make up the 200MHz difference, but would I be able to overclock the 4800+ further since its...
