    GBIC Lifespan

    Does anyone have any real world experience regarding how long a multimode fiber transmitter lasts? I need to buy some GBICs, but they are very expensive. I'm going to get some used ones, but if I do will they crap out on me in 1 year?

    My sweet new capture card sucks

    So I "went all out" (at least in my opinion) and bought one of these new PowerColor PCIe capture cards. It's supposed to be the bomb and whatnot, but the stupid thing won't let me record anything. No matter what I'm watching or doing it says the content it copy protected. Apparently the...

    RAID 1 question

    I recently setup a RAID 1 (mirroring) with 2 300gb drives. It works great and everything, but what happens when one of the drives dies or has a bad sector or something? Worst case scenario, when one drive dies... how do I get my data back? From what I'm reading I think the only way is to...

    Can I install PC2700 or PC3200 in my laptop that takes 2100?

    I know that if I put a higher speed stick in, it will typically operate at the lower speed, but has anyone had any actual experience with this? I have a laptop that takes PC2100, and I've found that PC3200 and PC2700 is cheaper.

    I have an IDE card in my computer, and every time I start my computer there is a screen that shows up and detects the drives. I don't see why they can't just add a little chip on there to save the configuration so it doesn't lag my startup. My motherboard also has an integrated IDE controller...

    How do I test video card to the limits??

    I bought a refurb card from newegg. It comes with a 15 day warranty, so I want to run it as hard as I can over those 15 days to be sure it won't crap out shortly after. So what kind I benchmarks can I run to stress it AS HARD AS POSSIBLE? Any info is appreciated, thanks.
