I think there's a mistake for the picture of this item http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1246&item=6750712094&rd=1

Must be mistaken, I'm no Canuck. Kansas City's my home.

ps. let me know if you are interested in a used PCi card, I can probably swing one for $5 + s/h

I'd just get the cheapest PCI graphics card you can and keep it around as a spare incase you ever need to test a box. A radeon or newer Matrox might be useful for other purposes, but it is nice to have a spare PCI vid card when you need one and there really is no reason to get PCI graphics in...

They compare Intel host-based RAID to..... Intel host-based RAID?

I believe that you will need a key that matches with the version of CD you have. There are several CDs available, this is at a minimum: WinXP Pro Corporate WinXP Pro OEM WinXP Pro Retail WinXP Home OEM WinXP Home Retail Each version has a different type of key and an OEM key will not work...

We use 2x1GB crucial RAM in a mission critical Live voice switch at work. It's their standard unbuffered non-ECC PC3200 stock running in dual channel mode. The machine hiccups occasionally, but it's never been attirbuted to RAM, and memtest86 never reported any errors during burn in. I would...

I kinda like browser personalities... ;-)

Assuming that the energy travelled in a straight line... err... probably 50,000 years...

I shouldn't say it fails.... I just dont get a welcome message.... like the server is down or is somehow firewall protected and blocking me... This happens almost instantly: [root@mepis1 root]# telnet 216.228.14.91 25 Trying 216.228.14.91... Connected to 216.228.14.91. Escape character is...

mx record for schollchyo.com points to mail.schollchyo.com, mail.schollchyo.com resolves to 216.228.14.91, trying to telnet to this IP on port 25 fails. This indicates that the SMTP server at 216.228.14.91 is down. Is this the correct IP address for the SMTP server?

i use kplaylist for listening and sharing my mp3's remotely.

agreed.

That's to bad, that looked like a neat product... you could always go for a stand alone samba or windows server... I'm not sure if you really are going to have a good time connecting USB drives to it though.

I agree, that score is amazing... I got up to ~76 and started getting ideas about using photoshop...

We use it at my junior college... worked remarkably well. It had some incompatibility with Norton however so now many machine dont have it activated.

Your symptoms sounded like packet loss until you mentioned you could connect via VPN and browse fine... if it were packet loss you probably could not maintain the VPN connection. A constant ping should verify whether there is any packet loss c:\>ping google.com -t Given that this is a...

I think I've done this with tweakUI for XP....

Actually, plenum and non plenum only has to do with the jacketting, I believe the main factors in attenuation are the frequency of the signal when combined with the characteristic impedence (Ohms) as well as the distance of the run.

guess it was a $50 rebate cause I just received it today... glad I put my new address on it. Man... must have mailed that thing on 2-3 months ago....

We're now using clamAV at work and it is finding stuff that AVG did not. Nice to know that it is working. I really like the automated reporting of ClamWin, but the software is still pretty beta. We're actually using batch files calling clamAV and a command line emailer to simulate the...

RG-6 is the proper rating, RG-59 is the other typical coax cable and isn't rated as well. The main raiting to be concerned with is the bandwidth (in MHz) and attenuation of the cable in MHz. RG-6 is rated for 2Ghz bandwidth, not sure of the attenuation. Most digital cable companies require at...

That was a good idea. I'm sure there is FUD from both sides though. I'm happy with my current Nvidia FX, and my gf is happy with her Radeon. To each their own.

Looks like I'm using a 2.6.8 kernel and it has worked great, previous and post kernels are a mixed bag. However, my experience shows the NIC performs at roughly the same speed dispite the kernel version. Since your workstations are conencted at 100Mbps, do you have a gbit switch or a switch...

Ah, if it writes the file un under a second you're not going to get reliable results.. cache as you saw, was interfearing. Try a 1000MB file. For the NIC, like I said, there should be no reason that you would not be able to get atelast 20MB/sec out of that NIC if it is running at 1Gbps I am...

However, assuming the CPU usage wasn't 100% during the dd test, then It looks like you've successfully isolated the problem to Samba, or the network.

still doesnt explain your slowness though ....

srry, the command does not have a dollar sign infront, that was a symbol of the default linux prompt. The time command times the command immediately following. The input file (if=/dev/zero) is virtual, so there are no reads. Only writes (to the location specified by the output file, of=) If...

I have an 8169 on my linux server... should have no problems with 20MB/sec, wouldnt be surprised if you can get upto 40MB/sec. Please try my disk benchmark and let me know the results. -Blake

I assume you have tried more than 1 workstation so that you have isolated the issue to something with the server? I would try running a HDD benchmark that measures writes. Something like the following: [user@server]$time dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/user/testFile bs=1M count=100 This will...

I dont think i ever got the $40 rebate for may 160GB drive... I have sinced moved, so ther is probably no hope for me... I have, however, had good luck with 2 Maxtor rebates. However, I prefer Seagate and Hitachi to Maxtor drives.

ClamAV seems to have a lot of uses in conjunction with other products. Squid, Snort, several mail servers... It's a tribute to it's versatile design.

There is a preload option that loads information (I assume mostly textures) at the level start time instead of during play. This is an option with both Halflife Engines. My load times are based mainly of CS:Source as I have actually not been very interested in HL2 itself. btw, I bought the CD...

I think the preload option, plus higher res textures are the main culprit... I think you're probably about the same speed as me if I remember correctly. I prefer to pre-load instead of having in game choppyness though...

I'm planning on installing this at the office, will save us a few hundred a year in AV licenses. http://www.clamwin.com/ It's a free (Open source) AV scanner with more options than the free (for personal or non-profit use) version of AVG. Seems like it updates faster, does a better job, is...

Or, if you are crazy like me... stick with P-ATA, use the onboard P-ATA channels of any motherboard... you'll save on the drives and on the controller, plus have better OS support and maturity.

If you went with Dell option you'd have probably the fastest and cheapest result, but would be very limited on disk space as their cases cannot house more than 5 hard drives in my experience. I would go with an Antec 3700BQE case and a PC power and cooling PSU (probably around 450watts) as you...

ohh.. wow... thanks. Might try that... however my card doesnt support WPA.. so maybe I shouldnt bother... Any specific version of the v3 firmware?

Everything i've seen regarding HDD CPU usage suggests it is related to the controller and the drivers and has very very little to to with the HDD itself (assuming it runs in the proper UDMA mode)

buy one and let us know ;-)

With road runner I still find it hard to top 2.5Mbit down and my practical upload actually seems to have decreased from ~380Kbit to 350Kbit. My ping times have gotten much better since moving to another RR covered area though.. probably 25% better. Ping to google in ~50ms and ping in most game...

agreed, they need to atleast manufatcure good hardware and work on the software later instead of making several hardware revisions of which the firmware cannot be intermixed. I have had good luck with my Netgear MR814v2 wireless AP and a generic 802.11b card as well as a linksys .b card, I...

I've had several maxtors fail recently and didnt have a pleasant expereince with one of the RMA's by phone.. did ok with another... They're not my sworne enemy, but I am not fond of them.

WD was the 1st to make a 10k ATA drive, however the drive is P-ATA based but only sold with a S-ATA connection. Seems like marketting BS(this unit is too fast or too new for P-ATA). Wish they would have released a P-ATA unit. WD was the last HDD maker to implement thermal sensors, AAM, and FDB...

I actually voted for Seagate. I like them for their pioneering AAM, S-ATA, and NCQ. Plus I've been happy with every seagate I've purchased. However I also like Hitachi and Samsung drives, really anything but WD. Who voted for WD anyway?

The x700pro seemed to perform much better than the 600 with only a small price jump compared to the higher end cards. The 700pro is probably where I'd go for a new PC where I had gaming in mind. If it was an office machine(or something I knew would never see anything more strenuous than a web...

yeah, i believe it was the CompUSA sleves that caused that problem. Never heard a complaint about caseLogic.

appears there may have been some DNS trouble... i changed my DNS servers to work around the issue. By default my smoothwall was checking kc.rr.com's name servers. -Blake
