    VERY slow networking performance using Gigabit Switch

    I'm having this nagging issue that I can't seem to resolve - I get very slow network performance when I plug my 3 computers into a gigabit switch, but only when I use distributed rendering in 3D Studio Max. It will be fine at first, and then get progressively slower and then nearly not work...

    Complicated (for me) network problem - getting wireless internet and having a separate gigabit LAN

    Hi - I've been looking for a solution to this problem for several days now. Basically I just bought a second desktop computer (render node) and would like to connect them together on Gigabit ethernet. There is no network or telephone port anywhere near my setup, so I currently am running...

    Wendy's Research Questionnaire

    Hey guys, I'm doing a project for my advertising course and need some research on Wendy's fast food. You don't have to be a loyal customer of theirs, so if you could just answer these few questions, that would be great. If some of them seem repetitive, rest assured that I didn't write it ;)...

    Kicked for ONE stupid teamkill?!?!

    sorry but I have to rant. I was having my best game as an aviator just now and had over 30 kills in my F-35 and no teamkills. It's nearing the end of the game and I accidently bomb one of my teammates while destroying a TOW emplacement. Next thing I know I'm kicked?? Is this some kind of glitch...

    So what temp. is my CPU running??

    I finally got a Thermalright XP-120 for the setup in my signature, but I'm getting strange differences in temperature reporting. Asus Probe has me idling at 41C, while MBM5 has me idling at 27C. That's quite a big difference, so which one should I trust? The stock AMD heatsink with some...

    You know you're playing too much Battlefield 2 when...

    1. When you see a huge construction crane like THIS, the first thing you do is look for snipers (I do that all the time when I see the one right across my street :D). continue...

    Battlefield 2 Team Kills

    I just got done with a nice BF game session but one thing that really annoys me is how almost no one will forgive TK's in any circumstance. In fact, the most rediculous one was when I was flying an F-18 and I dropped my bombs on and destroyed 2 vehicles in enemy territory. There happened to be a...

    Voltage/Temp. monitoring on A8V Deluxe?

    I just put together my new Venice system and it's running fine, but I'm getting something weird.... In the bios I have the vcore set to 1.4, which was just the default, but the bios and cpu-z report an actual vcore of ~1.45. Can I just lower the vcore a little bit, to say 1.35 to get an...

    Wow, what do I do???

    My father calls me this morning and tells me that he deposited $1500 in my account for a computer just now. Ever since my Pentium 4 1.5 GHz computer, I've been paying for all my computer upgrades via my jobs. Is he doing this because he knows I'm relatively poor being a university student...

    Is this possible?

    Anyone know if it'll work with little or no modding? That card looks mighty long... I must be crazy :P...the single slot solution appealed to me.

    Some 7800GT Benchmarks

    Site is in German... Text I got it from HardOCP. Interesting numbers, but according to this review, not compelling enough to make me want to upgrade from a 6800GT. Would've liked some BF2 numbers though since it's a more recent game.

    Anyone as excited as I am for Call of Duty 2?

    After seeing the 10 minute video of one of the North African missions, it looks like COD2 will be even more intense and awesome than the first one. Who else can't wait??

    Am I missing something?

    Well, I know laptop LCD monitors often run at higher resolutions than desktop LCD monitors. example - the 17" WUXGA's. So why don't they do this on at least certain models of desktop LCD monitors? Is there some technical barrier I'm not aware of? Would the price be too high? I'm also...

    File mirroring between 2 hard drives

    So basically my question is - Is there a way of having certain files mirrored between 2 hard drives without doing a RAID 1 setup? Like say if I just wanted to mirror my photos and music without losing all that drive space.

    Short Survey for you AT users

    Hello good people. I'm doing a short survey as part of an essay that I have due at the end of the week for my online internet course. Maybe you passerbyers wouldn't mind answering for me a few questions? ;) --- What aspect of the Internet do you use the most and why? How often do you go...

    Alright, a question for you guys

    I have enough money, and I've been ready to make my next upgrade, and I'm going to go with the AMD X2 4400+. I do, however, have a 6800GT AGP that I wont be parting with. My Question is, which nforce3 motherboard (or VIA?) overclocks decently, is stable but will also fit my Zalman 7700alcu...

    My room is an icebox!

    Thought I should be posting in O/T huh? Anyways, I decided to open the panel of my case and stick it next to the AC unit vent which is running at full blast. My P4 3.2c (w/ Zalman 7700alcu) is running in idle at a chilly 18C and my 6800GT (w/ NV5) at 47C. Ran everything at load and CPU top...
