    My frustrations as a network engineer

    This is a great thread I'm loving the stories. One thing I hate as a network engineer, is that you're supposed to know everything! I'm just the type of person that if there is someone more knowledgeable around, I will ask for help to save time or to solve a problem I'm stumped on. A lot of...

    2600k Died and here is what intel said

    OP... don't listen to all these intel fanboy flamers... you clearly stated that the memory you were using was to spec (1333, 1.5) and the Intel rep decided to ignore that statement multiple times, telling you to get it replaced at Newegg. You are in the green, but yeah maybe an Intel tech above...

    CCNA Online Certification?

    WOW thank you that really helps a lot. I have also heard, when it comes to hands on experience, that you can pick up some routers/switches from eBay if you need to without spending too much money.

    CCNA Online Certification?

    Hey everybody, So my local state university doesn't offer exclusively a CCNA(or any other Cisco certification) program. They only have a complete "computers and networking systems" program which lasts for 4.5 semesters, and costs about $10K in total. I don't mind the Ten G's considering the...

    svchost.exe running at 60-99% CPU usage, ~ 55MB Memory

    As indicated in the title, every now and then my computer becomes extremely choppy and slow. When I look at my processes there is multiple svchost.exe's running, but there is one that is using anywhere from 60-99% of the CPU and taking up a hefty amount of memory, up to 85MB. I searched around...

    Are you talking about mine or Hacp's? The closest thing I have to a staples or CC is Office Max where I'm at. I'll have to check them out though. Yes I'm accounting for software and accessories, I already have a windows xp license, monitor, keyboard n mouse, speakers, etc etc.

    That's a very good build, and no, I don't like the case. I do, however, like that 7800GT. :) You did forget RAM and the total of that is $637, while my budget is $850.
