Agreed. 5 would probably be enough, we get the occasional "Hi" post before the spam, but 5 should be good. Just 1 or 2 people with mod privileges would be enough, just give them the ability to delete new-ish accounts and all their posts.

My parent's first date was it's grand opening ;)

I do 50 in my driveway. Have you seen the parking lot at Disneyland? I could go really fast there...

IIRC, those regenerated on Vista as well.

I was just giggling at the SSD RAID capabilities of this.

Kingston is the plan, they are just cheap and seem to always work. Crucial is good as well, but seems to be more expensive. It made sense when they were the best, but they share that rep now.

That isn't bad, actually. Just spec up the CPUs a bit, add the second PSU and the support for all the drive bays that are all already there (can't believe this isn't standard), and that is only at $3k. Not bad at all.

Dammit, I had a great response that got eaten, so you'll get the short version. 1. If you don't have the expensive licenses (vMotion), having one big pool is the most efficient use of your resources, and makes it much easier to manage. 2. If you do have the expensive licenses, you are paying...

The amount of memory I can fit in a VMWare ESXi server is the bottleneck to how many VMs it will run. What is the cheapest way to get a machine with 24GB+ of RAM? I can find non-ECC/Buffered 4GB DIMMs for $150. I usually don't bother with that stuff, but 24GB is quite a bit of RAM. The ECC...

I know enough. I don't have a lesson plan, or a structured way to go through all the features, but when she looks at a picture and says "I want it to be more/less this/that", I can show her how to do it. And since she isn't working from a skill set of any kind; she thinks not in terms of what...

Seconded. Even if you were able to do it without any major stability or compatibility issues, I'm sure the result would be appreciably slower than a clean install.

There are very few cars with such a small displacement around here. The average in the parking lot outside my office right now is about 3-3.5 liters.

Tell us the make/model/engine and I'm sure we can come close.

Just downloading the new vCenter converter now...is anyone else amazed that such functionality causes the installer to be 100MB+?

This is very possible. The best way I know of to check is to disable your DHCP server and attempt to renew. It is not fun trying to physically locate the device.

I don't know how it could be wrong. There would have to be some sort of corruption or crazy config of the DHCP server itself. Does the DHCP server have multiple IP addresses?

Just added Russian via windows update...but I am running Ultimate x64...

dual boobs...sweet! There are different form factors for motherboards. Take a look at these.

I've been using i7s for too long ;)

I actually got E7500s instead. Looks like they don't have it either? How out of touch am I?

I would also like to congratulate ASUS for disabling Hyperthreading by default and burying it 3 levels deep in the BIOS.

The CPU certainly is your performance strong-point. I'd consider more RAM and a new video card. Or just get an i7, an SSD, and not worry about anything at all ;)

The onboard 9300 scores a 4.7/5.4 in 7's performance tool. Allows full Aero.

The regular mobile template is fine for me. In addition to the "New Post" button on top, I would love the results of that page to include the "last post" jump button. Reading is easy, navigating not so much. Thanks!

Nope. Ape doodoo away.

I just did an install of 2008R2 in less than 30 minutes on an E7500 to a Vertex 60GB...This is essentially Server "7", no?

Still installing the OS, so I'll have more comments later. For now, I can tell you that the northbridge cooling on the ASUS board is not adequate for low-airflow machines. It is even less adequate if you leave the "ASUS" brand shiny metal plate that covers most of the fins on the northbridge. If...

I've only RMA'd boards shortly after purchase, so I don't know. You could get a spiffy new-ish remanufactured AM2 board...

It is used to encode my DVDs and music, but is also my wife's workstation (I'm teaching her Photoshop ;))

...and an E8300, and 4GB of RAM ;) Should be here Thursday.

Just ordered the ASUS...we shall see.

Where do I put my 6 2TB drives and SSD in a Mac Mini, Uda?

The ASUS seems to have better features, and it is smaller, but I'm alergic to ASUS. The DFI has the newer video, but I don't know how much better it is.

Shutting it off is not a concern for me. I want it to work. One of the good things about digital audio is that I no longer need to worry about the quality of the hardware, either it works or it doesn't.

That does look good. Do you know if the 9300 can handle audio over HDMI?

My identical array (120GB drives) rated 7.9 (maxed, IIRC). No idea why.

Merc nailed it. If you don't talk much, the prepaid plans can be very cheap. My wife used them until we got together, cost her about $10/month (plus calling cards to Russia).

The question I would be asking, since I am in exactly the same situation (mine died yesterday), is: Is there an onboard video solution out there that can handle 1080p and good surround audio via HDMI? Socket 775 would be great, but the ability to have no cards whatsoever really appeals. I'm...

All those ports are already used with production drives, unfortunately. I could throw the 16-port 3Ware in there and see what it can do, but I can only do hardware work on that machine during the service window (it is our primary file server) and I'm booked for the next couple days.

That is exactly the adapter you need.

That softRAID was with the drives in passthough mode, so the CPU of the fileserver should have handled it (a Q9550 with 8GB of RAM, shouldn't be a problem).

I had some spares lying around...;)

I can't run IOMeter or HDTach on a windows softRAID. I was expecting better performance with a 10-drive RAID-0.

?

Where do you have default gateways set? Traceroutes with the NIC enabled/disabled would be helpful.

I'll get it going for you today.

Seconded. I haven't tried with the current layout, but being able to check SF with my BB would be nice.

Hah! It's better at 0.5K ;)

Gah...

Time to call tech support I guess...this benchmark is repeatable.
