Which Windows software to do secure wipe of hard drive?

Heidi eraser can do whole partitions. Just make one fat32 partition covering the entire drive and wipe that. Not quite as thorough as dban (won't get mbr, partition table, etc) but it'll do the job for the overwhelming majority of cases.

With x16 and x4 can I go x4 for the video card

Sure, you can. But why bother?

CPU for homebuilt SAN

Will probably go thin client for the living room once I learn more. This just for my geek cave though, which includes a gaming machine, so I don't want to replace them. Thanks. Good to know. I don't really have the budget for high-end switches (would just get ssd's otherwise) so iscsi it...

business internet connection keeps cutting out ?

Does this affect all users simultaneously? If so, call the ISP. If not, it could be that your dhcp server is handing out one good and one (or more) bad dns servers.

Bizarre networking issue with PS3

Maybe. Your laptop worked on the same jack though, no?

CPU for homebuilt SAN

http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/pxechaining This is pretty close to what I followed. I didn't use a script served up by DHCP though, just a single gpxe image with a script embedded. edit: ok reading this further, its not all that close. i used a dhcp server that next-server pointing to a...

CPU for homebuilt SAN

OK, thanks. I'll see how it looks with everything on one line. It wouldn't be a problem to set up a 2nd network in parallel just for disk access, but it is only 3 machines, none of which deal with much data.

CPU for homebuilt SAN

Ancillary question to this: Does anyone know of a router that will let me run jumbo frames on my LAN and re-encapsulate them at layer 3/4 so anything going out to the internet has a 1500MTU?

CPU for homebuilt SAN

It'll be one machine per disk in the SAN (going to just migrate the existing machines' drives over to the san). I'm hoping to avoid layer 3/4 overhead by using ATAoE, but we'll see. Really? My internet is only 12 megabits and the network is all-gigabit. Is it just a bandwidth issue or is...

CPU for homebuilt SAN

I'd done it with out-of-the-box tgtd (no hardware assist) and got 90 megs/second over gigE. No special hardware needed. That was with a c2d e6600 though - that's why I'm asking about CPU.

CPU for homebuilt SAN

Probably pxe->gpxe chain with dhcp and tftp running on the san. If I can find a ataoe driver that works with win7 x64 I'll go that route, otherwise iscsi. Think any of the new atoms would do it? Or via nano? edit: i'd love to go fanless with this too.. but its not critical. and disk io...

CPU for homebuilt SAN

I'm throwing together a cheapo SAN machine to throw in my closet any network boot my desktops to cut down on the noise in my geek lair. What's the minimum CPU I'd need to reliably saturate gigabit with iscsi? How about duplex gigabit?
