At work, I have a tri-monitor setup. I upgraded my work PC recently.. it is running XP64bit while my old one was 32bit. I have a Voodoo5 5500 PCI card installed to push the third monitor (GeForce Quadro FX for the first two). Its working fine, except the 3rd screen, the video properties say.. "...

Nice

PC in my brothers machine has a CoolerMaster V8 (128mm Push/Pull design).
He has a quad core Phenom II x4, runs a few degrees above ambient (usually 80degrees).

Yeah i know - Thats why i prefaced it with "The easiest way is..."

And there are many affordable 24port switches out there - thats the easy part of that setup is the switch.

I was just offering an alternative, after all it is the old-school way of doing it.

TOR_LordRaven

Easiest way is the Dual WAN Router. NewEgg has one for $150, and includes VPN support.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833124160 The old school method: Setup a PC with three network cards, it will act as your DHCP Server. 1 network card for... the DSL the Cable & the Switc...

good to know. thanks foil.

I have searched this online and cannot find where anyone has even asked this question... When you unlock cores (Say a Phenom II x2, and unlock the others to make it an X4) does that change the processor itself? My system does not have a core unlock feature. Id like to buy an upgrade for my rig, Unlo...

Thats interesting. Either way, someone got it Wrong. Coolermaster or Thermaltake. And both are very reputable brands. The first picture is the top of the Thermaltake V6 BlacX case, showing off the 200mm case fan. The second picture shows the Coolermaster 200mm fan, and as you can see, it overlaps al...

I must be stupid. Correct me if im wrong - but i have always been under the impression that Case Fan Sizes (120mm for example) were based on the actual "Hole" where the air passes through. I ran into an issue with a PC build for my brother.. We purchased a Thermaltake V6 BlacX case: http:/...

In recent history, If you needed to update your Product Key in Windows, Microsoft provided a Key Update Tool for you to use. I have the one for Windows XP, but on the page it gave you a list of XP, XP64bit, Vista, and 7. Now, they only give you the tool as a download for XP. They still provide instr...

Both are helpful.

My system, i am adding a RAID array to an existing machine. So it will have a Single 250gb Drive with the OS, and a Second 2x1TB Raid1 for storage.

The system I am building for my nephew will be a Single 2x1TB Raid1. OS installed on the RAID.

TOR_LordRaven

Thank you - thats what I thought. I know im not crazy - and yes, it was much easier to install it when we upgraded him to Vista. No need for a floppy drive.

have you tried... Creating a Virtual Machine in in MS Virtual PC 2007 (Free Download), setting up XP (or anyother OS for that matter) and loading OpenVPN on that?

I have a Virtual Machine at home running all my web-stuff.

Trying to setup a Raid array (RAID1 - Mirror) in WinXP 64bit edition. From what im reading, some people say you cannot do this in any version of XP. But I was able to do it on my brothers machine (hes running on a Gigabyte MoBo with AMD chipset, im runing Asus with nVidia chipset). I currently have ...

Lets return to the Topic at hand fellas. Take your Flamewar to another thread. So yes: D1, D2, and D3 would all be options. You can play All, Two, or just one. I was thinking of a "General Rankings" where everyone is on the same page, then you can filter it based on D1, 2 or 3. Team Games ...

Yeah, i played around with it. Its running stable on a slightly older release of PHP5, and latest version of apache.

I played the Original Starcraft for a while, got excited when the second came out. Here is my review.. Overall Gameplay: They Nailed the Feel for Starcraft2.

Easy! Stark Technologies is a Public Company. Wayne Enterprises starts a Hostile takeover and Stark becomes subsidiary of Wayne Enterprises. Thus, Bruce owns Tony. Bruce owns the Suit.

Plus, they are both Good guys. So they wouldn't fight anyway.

TOR_LordRaven

Yeah I should say I used the bootable trueimage and created an image of the entire drive partition. Did not run it while in windows.

How did you do it exactly? Did you restore the image to a pc that already had the raid array configured? Did you need to use the raid drivers?

TOR_LordRaven

I am trying a different way right now - but just wondering if anyone has been able to do it or should we start fresh with a Win7 install then restore his data manually.

My brother in law is upgrading his PC. He bought two, 500gb Drives and wants to set them up in RAID 1 (mirror).

Onboard doesnt matter, i have a PCIe card im putting in. I have everything i need except the MoBo and PSU, i was just having trouble finding a PSU that has 2 Six-Pin PCIe connections & a P4 connector. If the P8 replaces P4 then the PSU i found should work just fine.

TOR_LordRaven

In PC Wizard, go into preferences and force it to detect fans and report the temps in F, instead of C.

That seems to fix it.

Lemme know what you think.

TOR_LordRaven

okay cool - working with a Dual Core MB, that has the P4 connection. I guess the Four of the Eight pins on the P8 would match the P4.

Thanks for the knowledge

Try PCWizard..

It keeps track of CPU/GPU Temps, Loads, and Fan Speeds.

TOR_LordRaven

Quick question - has the \"P4\" connector on newer power supplies been replaced? I know the six-core CPU's take more power, and Motherboards that support them have a new 8-pin connector.. Has the 8-pin cable replaced the P4 Cable? Example: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTool...

Any one have any good sugestions for a WiFi Router with removeable antennas ? all the new Linksys/Cisco routers have the internal antennas (at least from what ive found). Anybody see any new WiFi Routers with external/removeable antennas ? The WRT54G is great, but its getting dated. Thanks everyone!
