My nForce ethernet has some VLAN options. I dare not touch them, in case the motherboard explodes, but they're there. Looking at the fact that you'll have to shell out for managed switch, wouldn't be cheaper and easier to go with the separate physical networks and a bridging router?

Why not say SAS? It's fun. Like when Apple tried to make SCSI come out "sexxy." Not like serial ATA.

I've never had a problem with Ghost and RAID controllers (real or imagined). If you run ghost32 from within Windows (such as a PE disk), then it's even less of a problem.

Anyone familiar with this? I can't find anything useful about it on the web. I found this in one of the many nForce driver packages that I downloaded. I ran the diagnostics under x64 and received failures. I'm just curious whether it's valid to use, or just another nVidia abortion.

Just get one of those Savvio 15ks....

Also, they cost more.

After furthur testing, I only found one other driver set that neither crashes nor has the hang, but it's throughput is far worse. So, it seems that drivers with versions lower than 50 are prone to crashing, higher than 55 to hanging, and the rest have throughput issues. nVidia is so...

I was talking about the ones for meat, but it still applies. There was segment on Nightline ( http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/story?id=3089282&page=1 ) about folks after raw milk. I was surprised that it's illegal in most places.

First, 802.11n isn't final. Second, for most people, it's totally unnecessary. Finally, it's added complication, i.e. makes the device more likely to fail. Personally, I have WAP that works fine and does what I want.

Well, at least you'd like to.... And do you mean a steak that merely tastes good to you, or one that is actually good to eat? Personally, I don't like the idea of *making* the cattle sick and then pumping them full of drugs to work around that.

Lenovo seems to have been running a boatload of deals recently. It may be possible to get a low-end Thinkpad for pretty cheap.

For grins, I looked for a consumer-SOHO appropriate wired gigabit router and only found a model from Dlink aimed at overspending gamers. Everything else in also an 802.11n AP, which is a completely unnecessary function in most cases.

You'd better get moving before they put that barrier up on the Golden Gate Bridge....

So, the only way to do this is setup a bridging router? This whole physically *and* logically separating the clients is nigh ridiculous, and totally not worth the effort. It doesn't seem like very many people would actually implement jumbo frames.

How would this work with Linux/Unix? What about using WINS service rather than a domain?

Frankly, that seems backwards. I would have thought that the worst case scenario is that everyone negotiates down to the lowest common denominator, which, in this case, is standard-sized frames. Obviously, my networking knowledge is lacking in this department, but why don't devices determine...

Translation?

To be clear, if I take all of the devices on the gigabit switch and turn on jumbo frames, I will get exactly nada?

See! Coug's not a homophobe!

That's making cattle. It isn't beef until they shoot the steel rod into its head.

The more I read about this, the more confused I get. So, hopefully, someone here can set me straight. Do all the devices on a LAN need to support jumbo frames for it to work? Here's the situation: I have LAN where the majority of the traffic runs between a few gigabit-capable devices. In...

So, why are folks eating it up with a spoon?

I think that just about explains it... I'm sure that you've never had beef from a cow, as 99.999% of beef sold in the United States comes from steers. If you had something from a cow, it was probably a downer, and you probably don't want to eat that stuff.

So, does this thing actually reveal each of the downstream devices, or are you stuck with some RAID crap?

If someone could provide Cliff Notes for his posts, it'd help me immensely....

You guys don't even know how to make beef....

Then Vista shouldn't jack-up XP, a la Bozo's post above.

So, does anyone know how nVidia assigns version numbers to its drivers? Do they pull them out of a hat? Over the holiday weekend, I downloaded a bunch a driver sets off of the nVidia website and just started testing the ethernet drivers. I have learned, foremost, there is no apparent...

I agree. There's nothing to show which way the direction of causality points. You could just as easily say that pornography causes rape.

That guy probably thought that "Roger and Me" was also a publicity stunt....

Unlike XP, isn't Vista *supposed* to be backwards compatible?

It's a joke Coug. Maybe you haven't seen Jurasic Park....

Don't they understand that this is really a ploy to reduce population growth?

I'd think that they'd have problems with procompsognathus taking out all of the smaller creatures on the boat. Maybe that's why there are no more unicorns?

I don't know of any program that reads SMART data that doesn't interpret it into something more user-digestible. Is this ATA or SCSI SMART information?

That's a sales gimmick on Walmart's part. People buy the Linux-based machine, discover that Word or the Sims doesn't run on it, and then come back and buy Windows at full price.

I would suggest "Thank You for Smoking." And, if you haven't seen it, "Supersize Me."

So, this appears to be a work laptop that she uses while at home and on the road. When at home, it's plugged-in, and she is generally using it on a sofa. She probably wouldn't take a cooler on the road. While at home, she said that she sometimes uses a throw pillow, but it doesn't seem to...

I have a client who likes using her laptop on her lap for extended periods. Now that it's getting warmer, she's having a problem with it cooking up her legs. I'm generally clueless when it comes to laptop accessories. I have seen laptop coolers online in the past, but don't know what they'd...

As we've seen, the density doubling time is increasing. It seemed to take forever to get from 500GB to 1TB. In general, people seem fine with current drive performance, but really want more space per spindle. It'll be a tough row to hoe. I think that we're more likely to see something like...

Acutally, I think that they won, as you bought something.

The best inkjets that I've used are all large-format -- particularly the full-bleed ones. Not exactly desktop material, however. With monochrome lasers now so cheap, I find it hard to understand why people feel the need to have colour inkjets. If you need a picture, either buy prints or get a...

The problem is that the one slot available is on the PCI-X bus with my SAS HBA. Even if I shelled out for a 64-bit NIC, it would bring the bus down to 100MHz. That isn't so horribly bad, but I'm not sure it'd be worth the investment.

As far as the operating system is concerned XP x64 is no deader than 2k3 x64, which, in turn, should be as alive and kicking as 32-bit Windows 2k3. I expect that there will be at least one more service pack on these products, and third-party driver work will certainly continue to the extent...

You don't need the switch with x64. All processes so programmed get the address space (it's on the page you referenced). I don't think that the size of the page file matters, as long as it is "sufficient." I wouldn't call XP x64 "dead" so much as "stable." I'd think that someone here might...

This is close to a week old, but news to me. Stupid names aren't just for drugs any more. http://news.com.com/AMD+goes+quad-core+with+Phenom/2100-1006_3-6183379.html

The last time that I asked Samsung, I was told that the drive needed to go back to the distributor, who would exchange for an RMA. In order for the drive to get to the distributor, I would have to return it to the retailer (Newegg, in that particular case), who would send it back to their...

I ask because the ones running Linux seem to have more robust hardware than the ones running Vxware. If you're getting the latter, then it may explain the issues.

I have run Photoshop with the /3GB switch and know others who have done so regularly. No problems of which I am aware. I don't know what else you do with your machine, but you can aways setup a second option in your boot.ini without the switch. Since 32-bit XP SP2 won't use the top addresses...
