Backgroud: I took a new job where they have two MAC OS X servers running their web page and mail service. This is in Cedar Rapids, IA - which (if you are in the US) you may have heard flooded this spring. So now our servers are at a new location and the person I took the job from is long gone...
There are just tons of shortcomings with the Zune software and I would really like someone to put out alternatives as has happened with the iPod but I have never seen any. Why not? Is the market just so tiny that no one has bothered?
What should I upgrade? I just used Bench'emAll and wellmy results they suck.
So out of the stuff.
I have an XP 1700 overclocked to roughly a 2200
The video card is running as a 9700.
And I have only 512 Megs of RAM (PC333)
So what is best to upgrade?
I am thinking an Xp 3000 CPU would...
I just bought a Radeon 9500 np since my Ti4200 was getting a bit old (plus I wanted all the fancy stuff with Far Cry!). I do plan to softmod the 9500 at some time but to start with I have simply installed the official cat 4.3 drivers to make sure everything works fine.
However it doesn't work...
I want to setup all the machines in our computer lab here at work with some defaults for any and all users who log in. These are not values I have found in the group policy editor either but if someone tells me they are there I will dig harder.
What I want are to
1. make is so the...
Last night I bought a softmodded ATI 9500np and now I am looking for the best drivers for it.
I tried some (don't remember the revision number) Omega drivers but they locked up every time. I have looked around with Google for "wizzard"s drivers but haven't found out where those may be at...
I figure this is mostly about the OS so I put it here.
I am getting a new MB soon and I do not want to reformat my HD before using it in the new system. I have around 40 gigs of stuff and no way to back it all up, so I am not going to format the drive.
So what is the best way to move it...
Ok I have a d-link 604 router and when I first plugged it in between the PC and the cable modem everything was just like it was (except I could plug in other PCs, talk to my Xbox, etc.)
However after I upgraded my firmware on the router I now get a message when I boot my PC about how the...
Right now the drivers I am using seem fine. I can run Call of Duty at 1024x768, same with Max Payne 2, etc. so I am reluctant to upgrade the drivers unless there is some advantage.
Will I see any boost with my older GeForce board and the new drivers or are they built mostly for the newer...
I am getting sick to trying to run around to every machine and make sure that users have done all the correct patches so I am seriously thinking about setting one of these up. Does anyone around here use this? Is it good, bad, ugly? Easy?
Thanks for any insight.
I don't know if this is a AMD thing, VIA, or XP but it happens during boot up.
About a week ago my machine just seemed to stop at that point. Usually it says ...sucess and boots.
Anyone know that it is and if there is anything I can do if it starts happening again?
Thanks
Farley
Does anyone know of a good site with a forum for Win admin questions (all flavors - 98, ME, 2k, etc.)?
I like asking you fine folks but I figure a dedicated forum/site might be easier to get lots of input.
For example right now I want to include in the login script a line to delete temp files...
Our print server is being flakey lately and looses all the printers. The quick fix for this is to go into services stop (if running usually they are down) Print Spooler, TCP/IP Print Sever, and Print Server for MAC - then restarting all three services. Not elegant but it works.
Anyway I want...
Every once in awhile I see a really nifty looking toy for the front of the PC. I am sure that people will say these are really useful things and not toys but I see them as things to make the front of the PC look cool.
Anyway what is your opinion about the coolest? Right now I am thinking of a...
I want a faster CPU! It it driving me nuts to be on the "minimum" of the specs scale. However I am more cheap than I am lustful of the fastest computer. So here is what I am hoping for advice on.
Right now I have a
K7T Turbo MB
Athlon 950 CPU
512 Megs 133 SDRAM
What I want is the...
I am having a tough time finding simple information about what I think is such a simple request.
I want to map several drive letters in login scripts for our users on a windows network (some 2k, and some XP user machines) with Active directory. Simple right? One would think that lots of...
I have the computer in the same room as the TV so when I want to actually pay attention to the TV I usually have to turn the PC off. Now this is obviously the cheapest solution but I would like to find a way to simply quiet down the PC
I believe the power supply fan is the loudest part...
On Tuesday thery are coming to setup my cable internet and I was wondering if I should get a router before then. I have one computer running win XP and I do have a hub for extra computers if company comes over.
It seems like I can get firewall protection with either XPs built in stuff, or Zone...
Hey. I am wondering what the fastest CPU is that I can get for my MSI K7T. I don't know the exact model if that isn't enough info but I can dig up the box around the house if you need more information.
I am really happy with my MB, RAM, and video card so I just want to spend as little as...
