    I think my video card is crashing my computer

    I have had this POS Asus AX850 video card for a few years and more often than not, my games will crash. We are talking about Warcraft 3, battlefield 2, halflife 2, etc. I have tried updating all my bios/drivers for mobo and all, and it doesn't seem to help. Anyway, I want to track FOR sure...

    Streaming data across Internet using UPnP using WMP11?

    I am using Windows Media Player 11 to stream, "share", my media within my network. I want to see what the risk factor would be to open a port on my router and stream across the net. I dont think WMP 11 allows receiving of UPnP, just xmitting, correct? Thanks

    Setting up a server with a 1.5TB UPnP storage device

    This UPnP will be a 1.5TB 'drive' (4 drives RAIDed). In the hardware forum I was told to check around for some advice on setting up my own server my RAID as a UPnP device, OR to just buy a NAS which is already set up to do UPnP (Infrant). I was told a program called Samba could do this? I...

    Server for media (vid, music, misc), other uses

    I want to build a server that will ultimately hold my entire DVD collection, TV episodes, music, etc. I also would like to be able to do other things such as host my own BF2, CSS, etc. server (which is why I am steering away from a NAS). I have some old components: 1.5Ghz, 1GB RAM, 350W PSU...

    RAIDed TiVo/server

    I want to RAID up 4-5 HDDs for a 1.2+TB server and then eventually buy the parts to turn it into a TiVo. Does this sound like a good solution? Do you think there would be power issues since its only HDDs (is 350W enough)? Thanks!

    I thought the ATI X850 was the best.... Why is it not?

    I must have missed something last spring when I built my new computer because I got an Asus ATI X850 thinking that it was the sh*t! From what I have been reading, it sounds like this is not the case. Which is the best then and why. I spent a good $500 on the card so its gotta be at least near...
