    Failed Hard Drive?

    Any particular recommendations? EDIT: It would appear that my motherboard doesn't have on board raid, and I don't have any more room for any more components. I was planning on having Raid 10 for my next machine so I guess I'll have my fun there.

    Failed Hard Drive?

    I've had a Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD7500AAKS since late 2007. Recently (a few weeks ago) when Windows was booting up it wanted to do a disk scan, I let it do its thing and didn't think much of it. I decided today that I wanted to reinstall Windows (7 Professional). I've done this many...

    Disabling multiple devices

    Does anybody know of an effective method to create a script that will disable devices (and another script that will re-enable them)? I want to disable certain devices when I am recording and using the device manager is a pain to have to use every time I want to record. My initial thought was...

    Building a new PC

    I am building a new PC for a friend. He doesn't want to go over $800 (including shipping). He has an external CD drive which should be good enough for installing an OS. He also already has a keyboard, mouse, and monitor (the monitor is a 17" 4:3, so I have a new one in the list below). The...

    Apache Load Balancing

    Moving the database to a separate server was another alternative I was looking at. Do you think that would really make a big difference (along with memcached)?

    Apache Load Balancing

    Starting out I was going to run a LAMP stack on the RackspaceCloud (CloudServers). I was just curious for the worst case scenario when upscaling doesn't work anymore and I have to use more servers. Thanks!

    Apache Load Balancing

    I am currently researching apache load balancing and I was wondering if anybody could tell me an extremely general idea about when it is necessary to load balance in terms of hits, memory usage, and cpu usage. If anybody was able to decipher what I'm asking and knows an answer that could...

    PHP Frameworks vs Ruby On Rails vs etc

    I am trying to understand the differences of different web technologies under load (as in lots of users visiting the site). My basic understanding so far is that every visit to a php site creates a new instance in memory that must be managed by the server, while with Ruby on Rails (or Java)...

    Can't make an HFS+ partition?

    I tried that; however, the only thing that shows up the the disk utility is a 128gb NTFS partition with 400gb used (?) that MAC OSX can't install to. Does anybody know what is going on? I can easily get information from disk utility if you need it.

    I am getting ready to build my first homemade computer and I have a question about the PSU I just received. Why does it say AMD Athlon 64 / Athlon 64 FX, Intel Pentium 4 / Prescott? I hope my assumption is wrong about this, but are those the only processors / cores supported? It also says...

    Vista Compatibility

    I was reading some reviews for the ram below and I noticed a few people saying that it isn't compatible with Vista: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16820231121 I thought that ram was ram and the operating system shouldn't matter? Am I wrong in this assumption?

    I am looking for a PCI card that has an internal IEEE port that is the same kind found on some motherboards so I can connect it to a case. (If that makes sense) Can anybody find me one? Newegg is preferred. Thanks for your help.
