    Windows 7 Sideshow

    How so? Pic It clearly says Vista at the top and says look in the control panel down below. It's not in the control panel on any of my three machines and searching comes back with zilch. Did you find it in your control panel? Which version of 7 do you have?

    Windows 7 Sideshow

    Has anyone found Sideshow in 7? I've posted elsewhere and someone says they found it but did not elaborate where or which version they have yet. I've tried 64bit ultimate and 32bit enterprise on three machines and still can't figure it out. I've been waiting months thinking that it would be...

    so am i just crazy, or does vista business not do software RAID1?

    When I look at disk management in 7 ultimate, it shows mirror as a greyed out option (I only have one disk).

    250GTS

    To derail for a second: Did you get your HTPC running? Are you doing BR/HD? Which OS? I'm asking because I went through two gtx285's and two gtx260's and windows 7 kept crashing whenever we play an HDDVD. I finally put in a 4870 and it's been solid since. That was three months ago though and I...

    Cheap mass storage for business. build or buy?

    That's funny. I just did the same sort of thing last week. I needed a new file storage server so I just tossed the cheapest c2q on a reliable gigabyte board into a norco 4020 case with 20 1tb WD's and it came in just under $5000. I used RE3 drives though and it only comes to about 16tb usable...

    opera 10 beta

    Anyone have Opera tell you that you're on a fast network? Or at least not tell you that your network is slow? What's it checking? It happened the first time when I went to an internal web server, which is on the same gigabit switch as my desktop, literally two rooms away.... if that's slow, what...

    For people who use firefox, why dont you use IE7/8?

    Using IE never occurred to me. I just tried to open it now for the first time ever on this windows load and it doesn't even open, 64 or 32. :shrug:

    Internal Raid vs. External Raid?

    I was thinking about migrating my media center to an external enclosure device as my case only has room for 3 drives and I need more space. Something like this: http://www.pc-pitstop.com/sata_enclosures/scsat84xb.asp I already have an areca 1680 8 port card and all eight 1tb drives so I just...

    help me choose between a velociraptor and a SSD

    I have to agree with taltamir. I've been deploying intel ssd's to faculty for months and the only comments I get back are "wow this is crazy fast" and some of them had VR's before that. That said, there are crap ssd's out there just like there's a crap version of everything else. VR's are the...

    well my machine killed another power supply, how often do you overclockers go through PSUs?

    Ah good. Extracting important quotes was very helpful in understanding westom. I kept reading his posts and my eyes would gloss over trying to get past the language issues.

    well my machine killed another power supply, how often do you overclockers go through PSUs?

    I'm having trouble reading westom's posts but it seems like the idea he's trying to impart is the same as the rest of us. A non-faulty power supply built to specs and of high quality components should be a safe bet. I'm not an electrical engineer and I've only been doing corporate IT support for...

    Restoring SSD Performance

    Even at steady state, random access, where it matters if you're buying these, will blow away anything disk based and still last at least 5 years. Besides, if you're adopting these this early in the technology (as I am as well, I've rolled out dozens of them to some of my end users), you'll...

    5 ?? Hdd's possibly dead in one week !!!

    That's is what I would do. I have to think it's gotta be the power supply though. I just don't see a data only sata connection actually causing damage to a hard drive. But are the new ones ticking? And even on the old ones are you sure it's the death tick/click? It could be just that your...

    Two Intel X25-M 80GB in RAID0

    I didn't do hdtune/tach like I should have, at idle it bounced between 0% and 5% according to the task manager (not real accurate I know) and when loading various apps the spikes looked the same (I recorded them). The time to open groups of apps (all of CS and all of Office) was virtually...

    Two Intel X25-M 80GB in RAID0

    I've done basically the same setup, two 80gb x25's in raid0 on an evga x58 board. I don't believe 512k was an option. I planned this out for weeks and read as much as I could find, much of it going far over my head, and decided on 64k but I'll be damned if I could remember which review convinced...

    16GB RAM kits availability

    Wait... the new mac pro's only have 4 ram slots? WTF? I'll have to go look at that. Oh wait, I see, the quad only has 4, the octo still has 8. Seriously, who only buys the quad?

    16GB RAM kits availability

    Considering the 2gbx6 kits are like $200... that's not a lot of wasted money. I do see where you're coming from though, being in the process of building two desktops to use as servers, I would like 24gb myself instead of 12 but I've accepted 'wasting' $400 and upgrading in 6-12 months.

    Next-Gen Velociraptors

    That's why I said 90/10. =) Once the pagefile is eliminated (actually I make it 32mb because I've had windows whine about not having one), if the standard load of OS and apps is ~15gb, 10% of that would be 1.5gb, which is a heck of a lot of IM's. I did forget about IM's since we don't allow it...

    Next-Gen Velociraptors

    True but who uses these for storage? I was under the impression that, outside of a server environment, OS/gaming was 90% read 10% write ? I've been deploying the 80gb x25-m's to my users and everyone exclaims about how fast their new PC's are and most of them are coming from 15k sas drives.

    Next-Gen Velociraptors

    If it's closer to $250, I'd just pay the $50 more to go with the x25-m, specially if the size is virtually the same.

    Which PSU do you recommend?

    Generally Athlon XP's use 7-9 amps, faster P4's use 8-10 amps. I usually just allocate 10amps for the cpu, using the 80% rule that means you need 12.5 amps for the cpu/mb. HD's usually require 2-3 amps. CD/DVD(RW) drives around 2 amps. In my system I have p4 3.0, 2 HD's, 2 CD/DVD's, adding up to...

    Which PSU do you recommend?

    Depends on your power requirements. Watch the +12 rail, antec's have pathetic output. EDIT: To clarify, using the 80% rule, Antec doesn't appear make a single PS that would satisfy the 25A requirements of my pc.

    Cardboard Case

    Nope, grounding comes from the PS and shielding is helpful but not required. Many of us have clear acrylic cases and have no problems. I've had mine for almost 3 years and it sits next to two other pc's.

    Nice Black Case...PSU optional

    I bought this one, cheap from newegg at $57<a href="http://www.ahanix.com/noblesse.html"> http://www.ahanix.com/noblesse.html</A> The door is removable and comes with a replacement piece to make it look like the opposite side.

    Strange power problem

    I've always had good experience with Antec until now. I guess I just don't see the reasoning behind a 400w PS with such low amps on the +12. That's like making a car with a massive V8 and only a one gallon gas tank, completely worthless.
  36. I

    Strange power problem

    Using the two PSs causes too much heat in the system and hard locks during the hot part of the day (it's hot in my house) so I can't do that. I'll just return this crappy antec and buy a real PS like an Allied that has 20a on the +12.

    Strange power problem

    Hmm, that sounds possible. I'll have to check into what these HDs pull. Any guess as to which rail? Obviously either +5 or +12. According to the data sheet, this Antec outputs 40a on +5 and 12a on +12.
