Thank You Mike Pence

Thank You Mike Pence

It's not that surprising to see what we all already knew was probably going on behind the scenes. It's surprising that we have so much video of individual interviews with the inner circles confirming that. I'm not a lawyer but it's convincing to me. It's obvious that if Pence was the ahole...

Solved! What happened to the official Gigabyte forum?

It's probably also related to ownership and maintenance. If you're hosting a third party service with an in house database, someone has to pay for the domain, pay for the infrastructure, pay for the internet access, patch it, etc. You get a bunch of people whose bonus doesn't align with...

USA has just become a South America country

We are above this. The congress has spoken that this king of this us unacceptable. The sedition caucus has etched their names in infamy.

I run windows media center as a vm on my vmware esxi box. the esxi box has basically the same specs as your physical server. It shouldn't be a problem as long as the disk you are recording to is local. i tries to use iscsi to connect to my nas from my windows media center vm, and it was a...

Need build advice for Photography Workstation

I think you need to remove the NAS from your benchmarks. Getting optimal performance from your NAS is a project in itself. Try and do process larger files completely on a local drive and see if that make a significant difference. If it's important for you to have a NAS, spin up a thread...

ESXi Lab Build

I would just make sure that whatever parts you buy are compatible with esxi out of the box. It's not trivial to add drivers. Also, I would make sure if you are going to go with a RAID, that you make sure it's compatible with esxi in regards to management. You don't want to have to go into...

Need help to setup home lab for VMware Esx5

VMWare doesn't support software RAID. Almost all cheap RAID setups are software RAID. The main thing vmware is picky about is the NIC. I suggest: http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Gigabit-...5044363&sr=8-1 You're best bet with 3 80gb drives is to spread out your VMs among the drives . ...

Building a PC

IMHO, I would try to find a board with 4 memory slots if possible. I built something similar and regret opting for a 2 slot board now . . .

Ceton INFINITV4 $282 + S/H

I agree with you that this would be a crucial feature. Its the cable companies we have to blame though.

DOCSIS 3.0 or 2.0 Modem?

When i swapped out my old DOCSIS 1.0 modem that I had been leasing from the cable company for years with a new DOCSIS 3.0 modem, I got a twenty fold improvement, at least. So, at the very least you were wrong in saying that 'it is naive to expect a performance increase when upgrading to a new...
