    Will PCIe x8 work in x16 slot?

    I'm looking at building a server based on the Tyan K8SRE motherboard with a PCIe x16 slot and am thinking about using an LSI MegaRAID 320-2E PCIe x8 or an Areca ARC-1260 PCIe x4 controller card. I just have no idea if a x8 or x4 card will work in a x16 slot. Does anyone know? Thanks!

    56k modem 9.99

    I agree with HotshoT69, the PCTel modem is not worth 9.99. You're much better off with this Ambient/Intel based offering over at Newegg. Many hours fielding tech calls at the local ISP have fueled my hatred for PCTel products.

    320w SFX PSU from svc.com $20

    Go for the Fortron/Sparkle. I've never had one die on me yet. I even have a XP 2000+ with 2 cdroms and a 7200rpm hard drive running fine for over 2yrs on a 150W rated Sparkle. No other brand compares for the price.

    *Very Warm* Canon Digital Rebel KIT $899 @Sears 12/19

    I looked online and it doesn't mention whether this is the body only or the kit. By the price I'd say kit, but just want to make sure. Does anyone know for sure? Thanks.

    Retail Athlon MP 2800+ for ONLY $129 shipped HOT!!

    I thought about using them without the fans, as there will be two big Nidec blowers blowing air across. However it looks like from the picture that the fins are turned the wrong way for this to work. :(

    AMD MB for 1U

    I've looked all over but have had no success finding what I'm looking for so I thought I enlist the help here at Anand. I'm looking for a Socket A motherboard for a 1U case that has video and high quality LAN onboard. I'm not really interested in the cost of a dual setup like the Tyan K7X Pro...

    D-Link DI-614+ to DWL-520+ problems

    I recently sold the combo above to a customer who is now complaining that internet access is really slow and pages even timeout over the wireless connection. The connection to another PC hard-wired to the 614 switch works great he says. When I originally installed the products, I remember that...

    Microsoft 802.11b PCMCIA Adapter 22.88+ship AR

    This is sort of a repost since it was included in the Amazon Friday Sale post here. However, the post didn't mention the $10 rebate on this adapter that is good until 11/2/03. This is the Microsoft MN-520 Wireless PCMCIA Card. Shipping was 4.90 to Virginia for me, making the card 27.78 AR. I...

    Athlon 64 OEM + heatsink/fan + Asus K8V-Deluxe + Asus wristwatch: $541 @ good vendor

    I ordered this yesterday and was wondering if anyone else had already gotten one. I'm interested to know what heatsink/fan they send. I've yet to see a heatsink/fan for an A64 OEM processor on the website at all. Thanks.

    Dead

    I'm not sure this vacuum is worth $9.00. My wife purchased one of these about a year and a half ago from Target. It worked fine for about a month, then it stopped picking up anything and began to smell really bad. A call to DirtDevil revealed that the motor was blown and that I would have to...

    Looking for cheap/good colocation

    Has anyone had experience with a cheap colocation provider that provides good service. I'm looking to move a 2U server within the month. I came across the guys at ColoMart (http://www.colomart.com) who seem pretty nice. Has anyone ever heard or done business with them? Thanks!

    The CSR I spoke with said it was not on the site because it had filled up last Monday. She new the exact exam before I even told her the number. Evidently a lot of people have called trying to sign up.

    Mobil 1 synthetic motor oil 5qt jug - $18.88 at Wal-Mart

    I've always used Penzoil in my car, but I noticed last time I was at Walmart, they now have a "high mileage formula." I was thinking of switching to this since my car now has over 145k miles. I also noticed that every other brand has some sort of "high mileage" oil. Are these oils marketing...

    I just ordered the SL33, here's why.... Old Model Number: ----> New Model Number: CT-27SX12 --------> CT-27SL13 CT-27SX32 --------> CT-27SL33 If this really is the current model replacing the SX32, then this is a killer deal. I was willing to take my chances because this is a replacement...

    ONKYO Home Theater System $99 +ship

    Onkyo products are top of the line and are usually very under-rated in terms of wattage and consistently outperfrom others with higher wattage ratings. Because of the way wattage is measured differently between manufacturers, it is never an accurage indicator of how well a system will sound. I...

    Bupkus: I think there is a known problem with the keys sent in the Action Pack version of Office XP. Folks have had to call MS for the correct key. I'd give that a try.

    Anyone know if a Nokia 3285 or any other Nokia Verizon phone is compatible with EN? What I am getting from this thread is that I can use a data kit, hook my phone to my laptop and browse the internet from there? If so, how do you establish a connection on the laptop?

    DEAD: MS Action Pack on sale for $99

    OK, since the code did not work for me either, I called and got the skinny on what's going on. The CSR told me that the MAPS3 code is working, but that they are not doing automatic changes in price on the website. They are maintaining a database of people that they have given the code to, and...

    Delphi SKYFi XM Radio $99 at BestBuy.com

    I am an XM dealer and just received an email about a $30 rebate promotion from XM directly for June 1 - July 7. I would imagine that is where the $30 reduction in price is coming from. This is just speculation, however. If they are really discounting the hardware, then adding the $30 rebate...
