    Question about exFAT

    I formatted an external 2TB (MBR) drive to exFAT and was able to choose 128KB cluster size However when I formatted a 4TB (GPT) drive to exFAT, the smallest I was able to choose is 256KB. Not that I'm worried about slack space (mainly huge files), but does anyone know why I am limited to...

    Smallest case that fits 8x 3.5" drives

    Can anybody point me to the smallest case, tower or rackmount (as long as there is no bare metal showing) that can fit 8x 3.5" drives? My file server motherboard is Flex ATX, so even smaller than mATX. I just want the smallest foot print possible. I've been googling this to death and I can't...

    Problem with UAC

    I am trying to setup a limited user account under Windows 7, like I have it on my computer (which works perfectly). For example Steve and SteveAdmin. When something that requires admin privileges is run, a UAC prompt asks for the credentials of SteveAdmin. All fine and dandy. I created...

    GTX 680 - problems resuming from S3 sleep

    Has anyone encountered problems resuming from S3 sleep? Since putting the GTX 680 in (and taking the 480s out) my computer doesn't come out of S3 sleep anymore. It wakes up, and immediately reboots itself after a supposed BSOD which I can't really see. Everything worked perfect with the...

    PES 2011 Demo available

    Just want to let all the soccer fans out there that the demo is out, and that I find this is the best PES game Konami has given us since PES 6. Graphically it is a small advancement to 2010, although the addition of motion blur does add quite a bit of realism and depth to the replay scenes...

    massive fps drops in BF BC2

    At regular intervals every 10 minutes or so, my fps will drop from a constant 60 fps to ~5 fps for like 2 or 3 seconds, and then it goes back up to 60. Meanwhile this happens, my cpu usage drops from ~70% down to ~10, and there is absolutely no other process consuming cpu, ram, or I/O. Running...

    Intel Atom and Gigabit

    Does anybody have experience with Intel Atom and Gigabit network speeds? I just built my home server based around the Atom, and I can't seem to get more than 25 MB/s transfers speeds. My network is capable of more than that, as I have tested between my laptop and my desktop. I see the cpu...

    What is the best file/folder synchronization program?

    In your opinion? I recently found Sync Now!, and I am very impressed so far, however their folder exclusion system sucks. You should be able to easily checkmark subfolders. This program is fast though, really fast.

    Lets say I have 3 drives, I want to see their content in one place. I don't care if I cannot write to that place, I just want to be able to see, and execute a file. Is it possible?

    Any consumer AVCHD camcorder that records true 1080p?

    They all advertise 1920x1080, which means absolutely nothing to me... some cautiously mention "1080p", but AFAIK they all turn out to process 1080 60i on the file that's stored. Is there any consumer camcorder that captures and stores 1080 24p/30p in the file, or are we still stuck...

    Core i7 Datasheet

    http://download.intel.com/desi...or/datashts/320834.pdf Page 22 Core i7 can tolerate up to 1.55V without major damage. Surprisingly higher than Penryn's 1.45V. That's a lot of overhead, with that much voltage you can crank something like 4.5 GHz out of the cpu. Whether you can keep that...
