Understanding nForce 4 RAID 1

I'm finishing up the process of moving to a new nForce 4 rig. I'm going to put all of my data on two 80gb SATA drives running in RAID 1; I'm fairly paranoid about losing my data. I'm trying to figure out how I would go about rebuilding the RAID array in the case of a drive failure. I...

Transferring files between firewalled, NATed computers

I want to transfer full-resolution pictures back and forth with my non-geek friends. I've yet to find a good piece of software to do this with, however. I don't want to ask my friends to set up port forwarding on their routers, so that rules out a lot of software. I tried Hamachi, but the...

Plugging in pen drive disables my USB WiFi adapter

I just want to make sure I don't waste my money on a hub if I don't need one: I am able to use both the pen drive and WiFi adapter at the same time; I just have to unplug an replug the WiFi adapter first. Is this consistent with my mobo not being able to supply enough juice to things plugged...

Plugging in pen drive disables my USB WiFi adapter

1) No cordless phones. And it's consistent: As soon as I plug in the flash drive, the connection goes down. Windows doesn't pop up and tell me, but I have (as far as I can tell) zero connectivity; I can't even ping my router. As soon as I unplug and plug back in the WiFi adapter, Windows...

Plugging in pen drive disables my USB WiFi adapter

I connect to my home WiFi network via a USB adapter (D-Link DWL G-122). For a while (probably about a month or so) my network connection would go down at seemingly random times. Nobody else in my house experienced the same problem. To get back on the network, I had to disconnect and reconnect my...

Running Spamassassin locally on Windows?

I've finally become fed up enough with the spam that I'm getting to inquire about running Spamassassin locally on my windows box. Perhaps Anand is the wrong place to discuss this in, but I couldn't find a "real" Spamassassin forum... The people running my mailserver know as much about...

Corsair 256MB PC2700 RAM -- $28 shipped?!

http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduct.asp?description=20-145-406 I've already sent an e-mail to newegg...either this is an amazing deal, I'm missing something, or something's wrong on newegg's site. It's the cheapest 256MB PC2700 RAM they sell not including shipping!

Win 2000 Mailing List program?

I'm setting up a win 2k box, and part of what I've been asked to do is install a mailing list program. Basically, something that does what Mailman does but runs on 2000; I need something that allows people to opt in and out of the newsletter and sends out the newsletter whenever I want to...

Upgrading a 500mhz computer: why?

Well, if there's a good chance I'll fry my motherboard, I don't think I'll use that adapter. I don't need to buy a new computer...my hdd, video card, CD drive, and case are all fine, though the case is a little small and limiting on mainboard size. The upgrade would cost me $300...I guess what...

Upgrading a 500mhz computer: why?

you dont have to spend $500 at one time Ah, but you see there is a problem with this: Right now, if I upgrade, I have to upgrade my mainboard, CPU, RAM, and PSU. I can't just upgrade some of them, because none of them are compatiable with what I have now. So while it wouldn't be $500 but...

Upgrading a 500mhz computer: why?

Zephyrprime: you mentioned I should get a socket adapter then a PIII 1.4. I looked online for a while and the closest I could find to the processor you suggested was a "Intel Celeron (Pentium III based) 1.4GHz 256K 100MHz FSB FCPGA2". This seems almost fine, until you see that it's a "Tualatin"...

Upgrading a 500mhz computer: why?

Thanks for the advice, everyone. I'll look into upgrading my CPU like zephyrprime suggested; that seems like a fairly good idea. Thanks again; I really appreciate it.

Upgrading a 500mhz computer: why?

I guess my philosophy with upgrading is to upgrade to something relatively new--not so new that it's blisteringly expensive, but still new--so as to limit the number of upgrades and (in theory) save money. So while I certainly could upgrade my CPU (or even my RAM), doing so would be going from...
