    Windows SBS 2011: Reasonable specs for a single user system?

    By default SBS 2011 has nearly everything on. Exchange 2010, Sharepoint, SQL, etc services. If you want to use and leave all those features on, you really need 16gb of RAM. Exchange really murders RAM. I recently built a customer a SBS 2011 server with only 8gb and they wanted all those services...

    How to get better FTP speeds?

    I have Fios with 35/35. My friend also has the same. But when we transfer files to each other via FTP with programs like Filezilla Server or Xlight, we only get 4-5 megabits. Programs like AIM are much faster but I would like to increase FTP speeds because its more reliable. I will also be...

    I7950 or Sandybridge Core i7-2600K?

    Am I right in reading that RAM clocked higher than DDR3-1600/PC3-12800 will be pointless for Sandy Bridge since almost all the overclocking will be done with the multiplier?

    Fans for Fractal R3 (Titanium)

    If you live in the US, have you found a good place to buy the R3? ncixus.com has it for ~$100 usually, but they charge $50 to ship it to the US!

    GTX 460 forcing deinterlacing

    I got a new Geforce GTX 460 video card that seems to force deinterlacing on everything. Problem is that it does a really shitty job. Everything is really choppy/stuttery, it looks like it's blending frames, and framestepping back every other frame at the same time. It also doesn't perform IVTC...

    Video but no audio via hdmi

    Been using coaxial spdif for what seems like eons, but finally got a HDMI-equipped video card yesterday; a GTX 460. Hooked it up via a 50 foot long Monoprice cable to my Onkyo TX-SR706 from a Windows 7 64-bit rig. The included mini-HDMI to HDMI adapter is in between the PC and 50ft cable. Now...

    Hmmm....FIOS vs DirecTV

    Fios still has the best PQ. They pass the feeds untouched. DirecTV reencodes those streams to H264, even if it's a better codec than mpeg2, it's still reencoding.

    Are classic movies on Blu-Ray enhanced?

    Grain is not an "issue". If they used grainy film stock, then the resulting Blu-ray should be grainy as well.

    Are classic movies on Blu-Ray enhanced?

    Age of the film is irrelevant. The sharpness/quality of the lenses and filmstock used, quality of the scan to digital, intended look, image processing, and other factors are what determine picture quality. There are crappy looking films from 2009 and fantastic looking films from 1940.

    I have a hard drive that developed some bad sectors. CHKDSK says "88 KB in bad sectors." and the repair function doesn't fix it. So I'm running DBAN to zero out the drive. It's going insanely slow... 500 kilobytes/s. I picked the quicket method, 1 pass and the remaining time is 400 hours...

    You won't be able to play on secure (vac protected) servers in multiplayer games. You can still launch all your games, and you can join non-VAC servers, which is about 5% of the servers.

    I need a way to watch MSNBC on a computer

    LOL no. FiosTV kicks Comcast's ass all over the place. I get 20Mb internet, digital HD cable and phone for $110 a month, because of their triple play thingy. No way I'm switching. Gotta find a way to shut her up.

    Thanks for looking guys, but it's not what I need. Why I need is: I switched to Fios TV, and it kicks ass, I get 36 Hd channels (!) compared to 15 on Comcast, plus the SD quality is amazing. But because of some stupid regional contract in my town only, we don't get MSNBC. And guess what...
