    Do you enable S.M.A.R.T. ?

    Didn't realize that the event viewer would display read/write failures for hard drives. Rather interesting...

    PCI bus saturation

    What was wrong with the card that makes you think you have this problem? I own an X-Fi as well and the worst I get from it is scratching at times, but then again, it is the very first fab of the card so it's almost expected for me.

    usb kvm

    Avocent SwitchView is a KVM over IP though isnt it? Rather expensive just for a standard issue KVM he is looking at pricing...unless I'm uninformed at the moment.

    Overclocking Integrated Graphics

    I think this a glory title more than anything~ to say "I overclocked my Intel Extreme 2 yo!" or what not. I wouldn't suggest it since if you do burn her up, you'll be buying a new motherboard (possibly more) and not just a video card.

    Motherboard Compatibilities?

    It's not that you can't use those with them but rather than Corsair doesn't support them and they haven't been tested. Which simply means there could be latency problems with them or small compatability issues. Normally, this isn't a problem but it's always something to definately take into...

    In terms of pricing, SoundBlaster Audigy 2ZS platinum or X-Fi?

    I would defiantely get the X-Fi from a pricing stand point. While the other has those neat features you will probably never use, teh X-Fi will still be supported in years to come and actually required for some games (models with xram).

    Seasonic vs. Antec

    If you didn't want the nagging voice telling you to get better, should have just gotten Power & PC Cooling the first time. No doubt P&PC is the best, which is what it sounds like your looking for.

    Bluetooth earbuds?

    I've been trying to find some with a built in mic that have the engineering aspects for computing, not cell phones. Still want the stereo sound but with a wireless microphone too...voip and what not ya know.

    TR Slams ATI on Availability

    It's obvious the persons writing the review do not understand how transportation and inventory systems work...just another computer nerd talking trash.

    IDS - Snort for commercial purposes?

    Snort is as good as it is going to get unless your going to put some money out and get a TippingPoint or something of the likes.

    Dual Core = When is multi-tasking TOO MUCH?

    Shouldn't have bought the crappy processor you have to overclock to be worthwhile...

    Am I being hacked?

    That's very common...many applications use ping responses to judge performance or connectivity.

    smooth gaming with 7800gtx??don't think so...

    You idoits that are anti-Intel and try to use it for an excuse for anything really need to wake up...any day now even. In other news, the MSI 7800GTX cards are definately one of the lowest ranking fabs of the 7800 chipset. Even with that in mind, check an over-riding driver setting that might...

    Wiring a business for ethernet

    Definatley get a patch panel and tools to set that up, ie punchdown. Rather than buying a dell managed switched, just get a 2900XL series Cisco switch off eBay. It's very common to find them on there new/refrub/used extremely cheap with the Cisco IOS. You should be able to get track to match the...
