    Speed up KvM switching or keep unplugged USB alive?

    Well I know some KvM switches like the D-Link one somehow manage to keep unplugged devices detected and alive as the switching is nearly instantaneous without any detection by windows. But im not willing to go changing hardware just yet. Hence why I was looking for some way of telling windows...

    Speed up KvM switching or keep unplugged USB alive?

    I am trying to speed up my KvM's switching. Every time I switch to a new PC windows re-detects the USB devices. The process takes about 3-4 seconds and it is quite annoying. Anyone know if theres anything I can do to improve things? One of the things I was contemplating is finding some way of...

    KVM Switch + Wireless?

    The KvM switch needs to be self powered. If its USB powered it likely wont work.

    UPS and Heat Generation, any that are cooler?

    Ok, so does the amount of devices plugged into the UPS increase the amount of heat generated? Like right now I have my KVM switch, telephone, monitors and all that plugged into the UPS'es. Would removing them and having them plugged into a regular power bar cause the UPS to work less and thus...

    UPS and Heat Generation, any that are cooler?

    UPS and Heat Generation, any that are cooler?

    I have two Belkin 900VA's in need of new batteries. While I was looking around for the serial number, I was reminded of the large amount of heat that they dissipate. These things are HOT, which doesnt help my already hot office during summer days. So I pose this question: are there any UPS...

    Very slow gigabit network

    Well, here is some info: I picked up a Intel PRO 1000GT card. I tested it in all three systems. It has zero effect on my network performance. I used its built in cable tester to verify all my cables are good. I have also added a 3rd system to the mix, this being a XP MCE 2005 system with a...

    Very slow gigabit network

    I cant force 1000Mbit. On the nForce 430 I get the option to Negotiate 1000FD, the Force settings only go up to 100FD. On my evga i680 both nics only have Force and Negotiate upto 100FD

    Very slow gigabit network

    Well on the nForce 430 system, I can set to either Negotiate 1000FD , Auto Negotiate, or Force upto 100FD. On the nForce 680 system, I can also force upto 100FD or Auto Negotiate, there is no option to Negotiate 1000FD. The nForce 680 system has 2 gigabit nics. I have enabled and tested with...

    Very slow gigabit network

    Did all that, was even rubbing a rabbits foot with my toes. Was going to pick up a dedicated gigabit nic for additional testing, but reading the reviews of the D-Link 530 makes me think otherwise. The alternatives are considerably more expensive. Hrm...

    Very slow gigabit network

    Alright both systems connected together with a Cat5e cable. Flow control on both disabled. Jumbo packets on both set to 4500. Speed set to Auto Negotiate. Both nics detected the speed as 1Gb. Performed a network transfer, and got network utilization steady of 12% like before. If I set both cards...

    Very slow gigabit network

    After I set the jumbo frames from 1500 to 9000 on both systems, the following image is the result of my transfer. It started off great at around 30-35% utilization and then after a period of time dropped back to 5-10%. The results for other jumbo packet sizes are the same. Starts off great...

    Very slow gigabit network

    But thats only with theoretical testing using Sisoft Sandra. Practically I get 9-10MB/sec, which is also the EXACT same performance if I set both cards to be 100Mbit.

    Very slow gigabit network

    Two computers, both using onboard gigabit NICs, one using the nForce 430 chipset and the other the nForce 680. Latest drivers installed. XP Pro on the 430, Vista Ultimate on the 680. When copying files between the two systems, I get about 9-10MB/sec. Using Sisoft Sandra network benchmark I...

    Command & Conquer 3 [Official Thread]

    Yeah well, my base got annihilated in 1 shot. And unlike supcom, there is no counter measure I can build to defend against it. Id call that overpowered. Why even build an attack force? Just defend, scout and nuke.

    If I buy Vista Business 64bit...

    If I buy Vista Business 64bit, but dont want to use it as a 64bit OS just yet (due to missing signed drivers and all that), can I install its 32bit version instead? Or would I have to buy the 32bit and 64bit editions of the exact same thing?

    Ram Vs Ram

    If theres a problem, its probably not because of the ram, but because of the chipset not liking the ram (or more specificaly its timings). OCZ makes great products, but from all that ive read the folks that have the most problems are the ones that get ram that have timings like 4-5-4 or 3-4-3...

    SATA drive keeps showing up as THIRD PRIMARY IDE

    Well good bet if he changed the board hes got a diff chipset, and even if he gets the drive bootable windows would probably still freak out. Just repair install and youre done.

    SATA drive keeps showing up as THIRD PRIMARY IDE

    Third primary ide is not a problem, and frankly normal. As techfuzz said simply specify the proper boot order in the bios. If you changed the motherboard you should perform a repair installation of windows.

    Antec Sonata II: what's its "air duct" and where is it located?

    The Sonata 1 has holes on either side, but im 99% certain that the Sonata 2 has no holes on the sides and just more holes in the back near the PCI slots.

    Antec NeoHE 550W

    Very informative thread. Do you know how the Enermax Liberty 500W fairs? Its my alternative to the Antec HE 500. Also if the Antec HE's got a little upgrade as of July 1st, any way to guarantee one is buying a new model? Any version number change?

    Can a PCI-E 1x card work in a 16x slot?

    Reason I ask this is because of pages like these: http://www.anandtech.com/tradeshows/showdoc.aspx?i=2779&p=4 Where it mentions the GA-965P-DS4 . The 2nd PCI-E 16x slot actually runs at 4x speeds. Nobody would really want to run a SLI setup this way. Hence im wondering if that slot could...

    Can a PCI-E 1x card work in a 16x slot?

    Sure they are, the 16x slot is simply longer. Physically a 1x card should fit no problem. Same goes with fitting a 1x card into a 4x slot. Im just asking if it would work or not.

    Can a PCI-E 1x card work in a 16x slot?

    Like on an SLI motherboard, if im only running 1 video card, can the 2nd PCI-E 16x slot be used for non graphics cards such as a TV tuner?
