Dual Gigabit LAN- worth plugging in two cables?

Thanks for the comments everyone. I work with a small animation team of 6 people and everyone accesses files on one server computer. Some are only doing photoshop so there's not much need for bandwidth (the PSD being loaded into RAM), but others are using After Effects and working in HD. Not...

Dual Gigabit LAN- worth plugging in two cables?

Hello- easy question for you network experts. I have two computers with dual gigabit LAN ports. Will I get double the network speed if I connect both to my router (two computers using 4 ports) or does the computer treat them as two separate connections... or will it cause conflicts? Thanks!

Swapping CPU in a Dell E1505

According to the manual, the Dell E1505 has a socket cpu, not a soldered one. Has anyone upgraded their CPU in one yet? The new Core 2 Duo chip should be swappable and Dell recently released a BIOS update and is selling their notebooks with both Core Cuo and Core 2 Duo options, so I assume...

Overclocking Disables SATA RAID on ECS 755-A2?

Greetings- I have the ECS 755-A2 mainboard and everything works great until I try to adjust the clock speed. Anandtech review states it is a decent overclocker and I should expect at least a 220 mhz FSB. :confused:Bumping the FSB any amount- even 1 mhz- makes the hard drives disappear after...

New Apple PowerBooks

I really like the integrated bluetooth for a wireless mouse and interface with PDA. But you'll never convince a PC gamer to like a Mac because it can't play HL2. /yawn Meanwhile every CD they listen to and every magazine they read was made on a Mac.

Would Bill Clinton have invaded Iraq ?

It is well documented that Clinton passed up 4 opportunities to kill Osama bin Laden but didn't because he was worried about his self image. He didn't want to appear as a "hit man" even though bin Ladden already bombed the WTC years before 9/11. Clinton put his image first and his policies...

Wal-Mart throws hissy-fit and prepares to shut unionized store

Unions helped people decades ago, but now they are out of control. Why should a cashier at Wal-Mart be in a union when a cashier at McDonald's isn't? Entry level jobs that any teen can do are unionized- why? It's funny when a Union person walks off a job and can be instantly replaced with a...

Less expensive flat panal

If you dig around Dell and other sites, you can find really good deals on refurbished monitors. I don't think getting a 19" LCD over a 17" is really a good idea because they are both 1280x1024 anyways. You're not getting an more pixels until you go to a 20" which are usually 1600x1200.

Swapping Video Cards

If the new video card has the same RAM, don't even worry about the BIOS. Most cards are 128 MB anyways, with only some high-end being 256 and budget being 64.

Should I wait for dual-core AMDs?

As long as you upgrade often, you can resell your parts on eBay before they become too obsolete to be worth anything. If you buy near the high-end, but not the "enthusiast" ultra-expensive stuff, you can have a really nice computer that can still hold it's value in 6-12 months.

How in the heck do you choose an auto insurance provider?

You can often find smaller companies with higher deductibles but with significantly lower rates. General, Survival, and Mercury come to mind.

So is Serial ATA Raid 0 worth it?

RAID 0 is a 100% necessity for playing back uncompressed video without dropping frames. I am an Editor at Disney TV Animation and can speak from years of experience. Non-RAID systems are just below the max sustained data rate needed for smooth playback.

Know any place that builds performance computers?

Computers are easy enough to build nowadays that anyone can do it. There are no complicated jumper settings or anything like there was years ago. Even if you are Forest Gump, it should only take you an hour or less to do it.

How do you clean your LCD Monitor?

Yeah, DO NOT use windex. Water and a soft cloth should be good enough.
