New router for small office that uses voip.

Hi all, I have a client that's out grown the set up we put in when they first opened. They've gone from 4 people in the office running Autocad and using Vonage phones to 14. They're starting to get choppy calls, and are having intermittent issues with slow internal transfers. I've ruled out any...

ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 - Who has it?

I'm looking to pull the trigger on this board today. I just need to know if it will boot from a Pcie 4x raid card installed in the bottom Pcie 16x slot. I read somewhere that it could be and issue with boards that use uefi as opposed to a regular bios. I've got a pair of Seagate Cheetah 15k7...

Something's limiting my HD speed.

Hey, thanks for your suggestions. Sorry it took so long to get back here, busy month. I swapped out the cable and get the exact same results. The raid card is a promise fast trak 2650. According to the management software write through caching is enabled on the card, and write caching is enabled...

Something's limiting my HD speed.

Hey, I just did a little upgrade to my system and its not performing like it should. With my old set up I was running 2 15k rpm sas drives in raid 0. I was averaging around 145MB/s in both hdtach and hdtune. I swapped them out for a new Seagate cheetah 15k7 300Mb drive. I've seen several tests...

Web based Godaddy email keeps freezing on XP pc's only

Most of the time it will just lock up the browser, however if they have a second tab open already they can switch over and browse other sites normally. Just their email stays frozen. Next time I'm there I try pinging godaddy when its happening and see what the results are. The thing that has me...

Web based Godaddy email keeps freezing on XP pc's only

OK, I'm at a loss here. I have a client who's running 4 XP Pro boxes, A 7 Pro box and a Vista Home Premium PC in the break room. Everyone in the office gets their email via the web. No Outlook, no Thunderbird or anything else. The 7 and Vista PCs never have an issue. The XP machines keep...

How many of you are buying PS3 just for GT5?

I Bought my PS2 the day GT3 came out. I bought my PS3 last night. I'll buy whatever Gran Turismos come out for the PS3, and maybe 3 or 4 other games over the life of the console. Tiger Woods 2011 being one of them as soon as I get my hands on a Move set up. Now, If the rumors I've been reading...

Long range wireless with one curve ball

Any idea about how much a fiber set up would run? I'd have no idea where to even begin looking, or what I'd need. Never dealt with fiber before. A trench is going in anyway. I actually just saw a youtube vid where someone did a speed test with 500' of Sewell cat5e and their performance remained...

Vista pc hosting shares becomes unavailable over night

From what I found it seems that this can be a side effect of upgrading to a gigabit switch. It makes no sense to me; but for the first time since upgrading the switch they didn't have to restart the PC today. "Some research led me to find this Google Groups discussion about the...

Long range wireless with one curve ball

I'm helping a friend set up a wireless link between his house and his office so he can drop his internet service at home. The two buildings are about 160 yards apart so I assumed running a cable was out of the question, even though that would be ideal. Cable run to the basement of the house...

Vista pc hosting shares becomes unavailable over night

Friends of mine have a Vista PC that they basically use just for shared media files. They have 3 XP Pro boxes and 1 7 Pro pc that all connect perfectly all day long. The problem is every morning when they try to connect to the "server" they get a 'drive or network connection is unavailable'...

Quick question about using a raid card on a P55 board

I'm about to build my 1st i7 system and I've decided to go 1156 mainly because I'll never go sli. The one question I have that I can't seem to find an answer to is this: I have a pci-e 4x raid card for my sas drives. If I use it will my graphics card get knocked down to 8x? I'm mainly looking at...

Processor: 7.3 RAM: 7.3 Desktop Graphics: 6.5 Gaming Graphics: 6.5 Hard Disk: 5.9 With the system in my sig. I would've hoped that a pair of 15k SAS drives would rank better then that. Oh well.

Win 7 RC installed and runs fine But retail version won't install raid driver.

Hi all, I've been running the 64bit RC of Win 7 Ultimate for a few months now and like it a lot. I'm booting to a pair of SAS drives in raid0 on a Promise fasttrack 2650 and had no problems at all with the driver when I was installing the beta. Now, I'm trying to install the official release and...

Wireless download speeds 1/4 of what they should be.

Well I tested again last light and got 13104/6109; But this morning its back to 4500/8000. I'll try it with my laptop sitting a few feet away. I disabled security and forced the router to G only and it didn't make any difference. If nothing's different with the laptop then I'll flash to dd-wrt...

Wireless download speeds 1/4 of what they should be.

Really? I was sure I should be able to hit 20mb down on a G connection. Still doesn't explain why I've been able to hit 8mb up a few times, but never more the 4.5mb down.

Wireless download speeds 1/4 of what they should be.

Hi all, I'm having an interesting problem. There are 2 PC's on my network full time. 1 hardwired to the router, and mine which is running wirelessly. Upload and download speed have always been the same on each of them until recently. I just went and got a new modem from comcast as mine was older...

Flashing the bios on my raid card...

I have a Promise Fast Track 2650 that I'm using to run a pair of 15k rpm SAS drives in raid 0. Can I flash the bios on the card without hosing my windows install? I already have Vista Ultimate32 installed, and I'm actually happy with it except for the fact that a cold boot actually takes just...

Transfering save games from XP Pro 32 to Vista Ultimate 64

Hey all, I just picked up a copy of Vista Ult 64 and was wondering if I can use my save games from XP in it to pick up where I left off in a couple of games. Namely Neverwinter Nights 2, and Far Cry 2. I'm far enough along in both of them that I really don't want to start over. Can I just...

WHOA! 15k rpm SAS disk drive..

Oddly enough the burst speed on my pair of Hitachi 15k sas drives in raid 0 is lower then the average read. I'm guessing it may have more to do with my crappy $60 Promise controller card then the drives themselves; but there it is. My burst is around 95mb/s and my average read is in the 150mb/s...

Sas drive and controller question

Thanks for the responses guys. I installed the card and drive, got everything up and running then backed up my boot partition with Acronis. Now, I'm not sure if I don't have something set right or if I was expecting too much from this drive; but the performance increase has been underwhelming to...

Great deal on auto insurance

Hmmm, there's a surprise, they don't offer coverage in Jersey. As for getting what you pay for with insurance, I'd tend to doubt that Selective, who quoted me $7000 a year on a 2001 Mustang GT when I'm over 25, have no accidents and no tickets, has service that much better than all-state who...

epox 8RDA+ question

Thanks NEVERwinter, I'll give that a try. Now I'm assuming that I'll only have to raise the voltage if my box isn't stable @ that speed? Do I increase in 1/4 volt increments? Thanks again. Cheers, Shawn
