    PCI Video Card Recommendations.

    I need a PCI video card. I'm setting up a pair of headless servers in my house, but the boards' BIOSes are configured out of the box to halt without a graphics card. I can't change this BIOS setting without being able to see the BIOS menu, so, unfortunately, I can't do a headless install over...

    This month's Nikon Legend Behind the Lense is great.

    This month's Nikon Legend's behind the lens photographer has some absolutely terrific photos. I find this one especially attractive: The composition is superbly chosen. It's absolutely incredibly well done in my opinion. Not to mention that he has captured a strongly evocative moment. The...

    Confused Regarding EPS 12V Power Supplies

    What I think I know: 1. A lot of higher end non-server motherboards these days require a 24-pin ATX connector. EPS 12V power supplies have these connectors. 2. These motherboards also require a 4-pin 12V connector. EPS 12V power supplies have an 8-pin, not a 4-pin 12V power connector, which...

    Personal Finance Software for Linux

    I'm just wondering if anyone has experience with this type of software on the Linux platform. Over the next week or two I'm probably going to try all the following applicatoins and see what I like and what I don't. The big boy is, apparently, GNUCash, but it is a rather gigantic piece of...

    Using 1 Channel on a 939 A64?

    Because the K8 has two, independent memory controllers you theoretically don't have to add DIMMs in pairs if you don't want to. Now, I know with certainty that Opterons allow this, and you can activate/inactivate memory channels in the BIOS, but I haven't been able to confirm whether 939 A64s...

    Bored at an nVidia PR conference? ATI's there!

    This story is just hilarious. I could really get to enjoy this kind of marketing. ATI anonymously sent out PDF pamphlets to attendees of an NVidia PR conference. Instead of being full of the typical marketing bullshit, they offer prizes to attendees who can spot NVidia's more 'optimistic'...

    Wireless Purchase Advice b/g

    I recently posted in the techsupport forum here about some issues I've had with a Linksys BEFW11S4 rev 4 wireless B router. The thing has totally died. Even wired connections don't work. I may as well be plugging ethernet cables into a piece of pizza... I did however, enjoy several months of...

    What a start to the Winter

    I do not know how your fall has been ending, but just about everyone I know has no electricity. Apparently there are about 100 000 people in Nova Scotia without power right now, and many will not see electricity until next week. Firestations are setting up shelters... and it's only November...

    Wireless issues (specifically WPA-PSK)

    I posted this here at SR, but I know many of you, 1) have experience with wireless (particularly Mercutio :)), and, 2) also have accounts at SR, but don't check out the forum regularly. I actually would have posted it here, but I couldn't resolve Storageforum. It was one of the sites affected...

    Best 2D Graphics card for $100

    The Best GPU for $100 thread that Clocker started reminded me that I have a budget (ideally) video card purchase coming up. The decision has become surprisingly difficult, so I am hoping to leverage some of SF's experience. Just about the only work I do that is demanding on hardware is Photo...
