I just retired a 1998 vintage Gateway E-4200 computer. From 1998 to 2002 it was someones desktop computer. From 2003 until today it was in our production are running 24/7/365. It still has the 40GB Western Digital hard drive in that I installed in it in 2003. The only reason we replaced it is...

Yesterday I upgraded my daughters computer from low end Celeron to the fastest P4 that the motherboard ( Intel DG965WH ) could handle. After starting I went into the BIOS to make sure the new CPU was properly recognized. Leaving the BIOS and rebooting there were a series of beeps and the...

I'm working on an ASUS P8Z77-V Pro motherboard with an i7-3770K CPU. This motherboard was installed 4 days ago. Since it was installed it has been nothing but trouble, or I'm a bigger Bozo than I thought. The problems: The USB 2.0 (black connectors) don't work; the SATA 6GB Assmedia ports don't...

Maybe not computer related directly, but this way cool.

To upgrade the virus definitions on our computers around the plant, I use PSEXEC. [ none of our computers are connected to the internet ] The script is simple [ psexec.exe -h \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\ -u administrator -p xxxxxx -c norton64.exe /q ]. This script is modified to push out MS Security...

I loaded Windows 8.1 and have been playing with it for a while. It still sucks. Microsoft is clueless. With all the ranting about the lack of a start button, you would think they would listen and fix it, at least on the desktop. But what they did was just slap the desktop users in the face...

XenServer 6.2

Is it a good idea to use an SSD for virtualization? Possibly 4 operating systems. I am thinking it might wear out faster.

HGST 2.5" 1.5TB hard drive

How come when I use a picture as my screen saver, the OS can make the picture as big as the screen and still look good, but when I try to enlarge the picture to print it, it looks like shit?

I have a computer on my bench for repairs today that is bringing back some old memories. It is a plain beige box like a million others. When I took a closer look at the front of it, I noticed it has a 5.25" floppy drive installed along with a conventional 3.5" floppy. No CD or DVD. The rear of...

I have a lot of VHS tapes that I would like to convert to DVD. Besides a VHS player, what else do I need? Thanks (I think I posted this in the wrong forum...duh)

I would think that having the Pagefile on an SSD would wear it out faster. Thoughts?

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

On your computers that have a lot of memory,16 GB and above, do you let the OS manage the pagefile, or do you set it at some lower value? Thanks

Almost the size of an ATX motherboard!

Maybe in 2014

These people are out of their minds!

I ran accross a utility that is supposed to force an SSD to 'trim'. I found it here. Anyone else try it?

At work we have a number of people that write custom software for our plant. This includes C++, C#, VB, FORTRAN, and OpenVMS. All of these people are left handed! Coincident??

60TB hard drives?!

Corperate has mandated the removal of all Windows XP Computers. No big deal, except for one computer. I made an image of this computer and installed it on a Windows 7 computer using VMWare player. It is using the NAT networking connection. This has worked fine as none of the network 'sniffing'...

I am trying to install VMWare tools on an XP guest operating system that has no internet connection. I am using Windows 7 as the host running Player 4.0. I downloaded (from a different computer) the tools files from here, but they are '.exe' files. Player is looking for '.iso' files. Running...

Damn, missed a good one.

Has anyone tried FOG for imaging computers?

I found this software for making backups. It will restore to dissimilar hardware too. And it's free. I tested by moving a dual boot Win7/Server 2008 install from a Supermicro C2BC-Q to an Intel D915GEV motherboard. Works! Of course there are no drivers for Win 7 on that old board, but it does...

Can Malwarebytes and Spybot be run from a cd or usb stick?

Anybody have any experiance with these RAID controllers? Good? Bad? Junk?

THE PENIS POEM MY NOOKIE DAYS ARE OVER, MY PILOT LIGHT IS OUT, WHAT USED TO BE MY SEX APPEAL IS NOW MY WATER SPOUT! TIME WAS WHEN, ON ITS OWN, FROM MY TROUSERS IT WOULD SPRING, BUT NOW ITS JUST A FULL TIME JOB TO FIND THE F-ING THING! IT USE TO BE EMBARRASSING THE WAY IT WOULD BEHAVE, FOR...

Has anyone been able to move Windows 7 to different hard ware? If so, how? All I get is a BSOD.

Almost free power supply. From The Tech Report: "Also in the almost-too-good-to-be-true category, Corsair's CX430 V2 power supply can be nabbed for $16.99 after a mail-in rebate. That's $44.99 minus $8 if you enter the coupon code "EMCNJHD22" on the checkout page, and minus another $20 once...

I haven't tried this yet, but it looks promising.

I recently purchased an Intel RS2WC040 RAID controller. Basically an LSI controller with Intel labels. When setting up a RAID 0 drive, I found that I cannot change from 'write through' to 'write back'. What's the secret? Googling gave me a lot of non-answers, even more confusion. Thanks

At NCIX

Today I retired a computer at work that has been running since 2003. It has been upgraded sporatically over the years with new hard drives and NICs. In it's final configuration it had: 7 SATA hard drives, 2-3Ware RAID controllers in JBOD, 2 NICs, a CD/DVD burner, and 4-80mm fans. All attached to...

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

VMWare Player 4 is out. Question: has anyone got the sound to work with Linux on Player?

I hope it's a good one :)

OEMXS appears to be an Intel overstock/discontinued store. All the items I have purchased from there have been exactly as described and new in the box.

After adding a NIC to the ESXi server, do I have to do an upgrade install for the server software to recognize it?
