    Interview questions?

    We're looking to hire a couple of entry level techs, and I've been asked to help come up with a troubleshooting scenario to use during the interviews. In the past they've used network printer installs/troubleshooting, and this time they'd like to avoid using printers. I'm having a tough time...

    AP what I'm looking for?

    I've got a room on the other side of my house with 2 PCs, 360, PS3 that I'd like to connect to a single wireless-N device. I'd like to be able to share large files between the PCs as well as stream to the 360/PS3 via a wired connection. Would something like this be appropriate for what I...

    Hard drive on it's way out?

    So I'm pretty confused right now. I've been running an OC'd E7200/GB P35-DS3L/4GB RAM/320GB WD HD system for around 2 years now without issue. About 3 weeks ago, I started getting lots of random "Access denied" errors when trying to empty my Recycle Bin. I tried booting into Safe Mode...

    What's my Grandpa talking about?

    Earlier tonight, while speaking with my grandfather, he hit me with a somewhat out-of-the-blue question. "Jr., how would I go about writing something that would automate program installations, and move certain files from one folder to another?" As I haven't taken a programming class in...

    X2 4200+ -> 2180 upgrade?

    My bro recently replaced his old 17" LCD with a 22" widescreen, and he's been noticing some pretty bad FPS while trying to game at the native 1680x1050 res. His current rig is a slightly upgraded S939 setup, X2 4200+ / 2GB DD1 / Asus A8N32SLI / EVGA 8800GT / Seasonic 600W. His main game at...

    Resume Assistance!

    So in an effort to grow up, I've decided that it may be time to leave my cushy club security job and persue an internship that is actually related to my current field of study (IT/Network Engineering). There are a few companies looking for Network Administrator Interns in my area, and while...

Wireless is out of the question as the distance between the master bedroom (where the cable modem is located) and the other 4 bedrooms are too great (I had about 40-60% connection...

    TMD Fan?

    I just recently ordered what I thought was a bare Swifty MCX4000 heatsink, but interestingly enough, it came with one of these YSTech TMD fans (checked my CC bill, and it was charged as a bare heatsink, more good fortune for me :D). Now I recall reading a lil whiles ago that these things...

    ABIT BE7-BE7 RAID : Anyone have it?

    Hey, Looking to pick up a budget mobo to throw my P4 2.26 on. Most certainly interested in OC'ing (chip hits 150FSB @ default vcore). Was going to get the Albatron PX845PEV PRO because a) it'd match my blue and silver color scheme, b) I've heard it's a great overclocker, and c) I love their...
