    Moving RAID5 array from old, dead computer to new system.

    Just googled it. Certainly sounds like the sort of thing I'm looking for. I won't be able to try it until the new system shows up, though. (It ships out next week; I'll probably get it sometime the week after.) In the meantime I'm on an old laptop. Honestly, though, I'll probably just...

    Moving RAID5 array from old, dead computer to new system.

    As luck would have it, back when I built my system I also built a nearly-identical one for my father, using the same mobo. Unfortunately it's in Maryland, while I'm in NYC. Guess it might be time to pack a bag full of HDDs and backup software, and hop on a bus...

    Moving RAID5 array from old, dead computer to new system.

    I've been pretty out-of-the-loop on hardware lately; does Nvidia even make nforce controllers for new CPUs anymore? I'm only just getting started looking at new system options (the old one died last night), but I'm only seeing nforce MCP's on LGA775 boards. Am I definitely screwed without an...

    Moving RAID5 array from old, dead computer to new system.

    The mobo on my computer just bit the dust. Since the computer was relatively old, I've decided to buy or build a new system, rather than deal with replacing the mobo on the old one. I'm curious about the sort of trouble I might run into while moving the hard-drives, though. My storage drive...

    TV condensing 5.1 signal to 2-channel. Need some sort of switching solution.

    Trying to avoid a manual switch. I got a programmable Harmony remote a few months ago, and it seems like a waste if I have to get up and walk across the room every time I want to change A/V sources. That HDMI switch is basically perfect, though. Thanks!

    Making the leap to RAID after my latest HDD failure. Got a few questions.

    Understood! See my reply above, where I mention dropping some of my RAID plans in favor of a 3TB external back-up drive.

    Making the leap to RAID after my latest HDD failure. Got a few questions.

    Okay, so here's what I'm thinking now: Still going with the RAID 5 array for the storage drive, but rather than building an array for the OS drive, I'll just be getting a single high-performance drive and spending the saved money on throwing two relatively-inexpensive 1.5 TB drives into a...

    TV condensing 5.1 signal to 2-channel. Need some sort of switching solution.

    Here's my situation. Instead of a proper surround-sound receiver I have a Panasonic all-in-one home theater system with a built-in DVD player. Unfortunately, the thing only has one optical audio input. My TV, a Samsung LN40B630, has a whole mess of HDMI inputs and an optical output. So I...

    Making the leap to RAID after my latest HDD failure. Got a few questions.

    My storage drive, a 750GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.11, bit the dust recently. While doing diagnostics I realized that my OS drive, a 500GB Barracuda 7200.10, is showing some worrisome SMART values, and should probably get replaced soon as well. The inconvenience and expense of sending the...

    Which Ubuntu distro for eeePC 1000?

    I'm planning on getting an eeePC 1000 in the next few days and installing Ubuntu on it. Doing a little searching, it looks like there are several flavors of Ubuntu that have been customized specifically for the eeePC. I've found Ubuntu Netbook Remix from the official Ubuntu site, Easy Peasy...

    Anyone still play Battlefield 1942?

    Look around the EA website. I know that when I realized I had lost my BF2 cd-key, I went searching on the site and found out that I could send them one of the CDs, and like five bucks, and they would send me a new key. I don't remember where exactly on the site that was, though.

    worst bloat ware

    Not the worst offender in terms of "absolute bloat," but whenever I think of bloated software, ACDSee image-viewer is the first thing I think of. A few years ago, the major selling point of this software was that it was super light, simple, and fast. Every subsequent version, though, has added...

    What's the nicest thing a teacher/boss/professor has ever said to you?

    I've had a few good ones: In college I got a paper back with "near-perfect paper!" written on it. I found this particularly amusing since the paper was an essay on the aesthetics of home-made bong construction. (Here if anyone's interested) In a high school math class I once was called on...

    Video of Black Isle's Fallout 3 (before they got canned)

    Neither Fallout nor Fallout 2 let you take direct control of your party. Fallout 2 gave you the most control, but even then it was limited to equipping party members and giving them very basic combat rules (i.e. "stay close," "only use burst fire if you definitely won't hit me," "run away and...

    Video of Black Isle's Fallout 3 (before they got canned)

    Bethesda hasn't released any information about the gameplay at all. As a company they are notoriously tight-lipped about their games, up until they're almost done with them and are ready to start the marketing push.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R has gone gold

    It took me a number of sessions over the better part of a week to really warm to the game. It's very unforgiving, and it takes a while to really "get" what they're trying to do, gameplay-wise. Until I found the right groove, I thought the game was incredibly frustrating. Now I'm really...

    BFG RMA upgrades?

    I had a 9800XT that had overheated and was giving weird video artifacts while gaming. Realized that it had a 5 year warranty, so I sent it back to ATI this past fall. They sent me back an X800XT as a replacement. Pretty sweet, except that I ended up with a bit of a power supply issue because...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R has gone gold

    I've got everything just about maxed out (I think lighting distance and grass density might be just left of 100%), and have been running perfectly smoothly at 1600x1200. The 8800GTX handles this game beautifully. On another topic: Anyone else find the arena terribly disappointing? I was...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R has gone gold

    Not to keep veering too far off the topic, but I just saw this over at Kotaku. Seems they're releasing a pretty substantial patch to clean up the PC version of RE4.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R has gone gold

    How reliable are the stats given for each gun? Everyone keeps putting down the AK, but I have yet to pick up a gun that has a higher "accuracy" rating than the "Fast-shooting AK" that I picked up. I'm probably not that far into the game (heading to the bar after getting the briefcase from the...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R has gone gold

    As far as I know the only reason not to patch up would be that it breaks old saved games. So if you're starting from the beginning anyways, go ahead.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R has gone gold

    I didn't find this that hard. I think it might have been because I ran for the surface as soon as the dream sequence ended, so the incoming guys didn't have much time to spread out through the lab. By the point I hit the guys, the path through them was pretty linear, so they didn't have much...

    Anyone else find that Agropom was really easy if you don't use the sewer entrance? After finding Strelok's stuff I ended up going back out the way I came in, and approached Agropom from the road. There are a bunch of trailers at a perfect distance from the gate to let you open fire on the...

    Orthos and E6700 weirdness

    I don't really have an answer for you, but I had something similar happen to me. Here's the thread from about a month and a half ago. With me the second core just wouldn't make any progress on the tests at all. It went away when I rebooted, though, and it's still a mystery to me.

    Vista 32bit vs 64bit

    So I'm planning to upgrade to Vista in the not-too-distant future. Probably in a couple of months once the DX10 games start coming out. I'm sort of curious about the 64bit version. So I've got some questions: Do all of the "flavors" of Vista come in 64bit versions? Or is there just one...

    OC Help Needed - Guru's please read

    I'm not a guru by any means. This rig is my first real overclock. But I have that EVGA board with an E6600, and I have to say that I couldn't be more pleased. If you want a detailed idea of what it can do, NVIDIA has a pretty awesome guide on overclocking with the 680i chipset here

    My computer shocks the bejesus out of me.

    The room in question also contains a small library's worth of books on a couple of bookshelves. Would I have to worry about the humidifier damaging the books? Or do you think if I set it low enough it might solve the static problem without dampening any pages? Yeah, the light switch has...

    My computer shocks the bejesus out of me.

    This seems like the most likely culprit to me, since the shocking started only once I'd moved the computer downstairs, and I've ruled out the carpet. Recently other appliances in the same room have started shocking me as well. How would I check the relative humidity?

    Second Core Running Slower Than First?

    As I said above, I would expect to see some difference between the two cores. But in this case, Orthos ran for about an hour. CPU #0 made it through a couple dozen tests. CPU #1 never finished the first. According to the task manager there wasn't anything taking up nearly enough CPU time to...

    Second Core Running Slower Than First?

    It's definitely more than just Orthos. The reason I thought to test with Orthos was that I experienced a sudden performance drop in the middle of playing a game. I thought maybe some background program was crashing, but task manager wasn't showing anything else taking up CPU time, so I ran...

    Second Core Running Slower Than First?

    I stopped the test, turned off affinity for CPU #0 in the task manager, and started the test again. Six minutes later and it hasn't made any progress on Test 1. Just gives me "WARNING: Affinity Mask: Process: 0x2 Sys: 0x3" every few seconds.

    Second Core Running Slower Than First?

    Reverting back to stock wouldn't prove much since it's not a consistent problem. It happens maybe once every week or so, and if I rebooted right now without changing any settings it would go away. Short of changing the settings and waiting a few weeks to see if the problem returns, I'm not...
