    Low powered computer thread

    I built a pfsense firewall in 2009 using relatively cheap and low powered components. It has been running 24/7 since then without any problems. Thanks to time's recommendation above I recently bought a Belkin Conserve Insight... GIGABYTE GA-G31M-ES2L Intel E5200 cpu Kingston 1 GB DDR2-800 2x...

    iPhone syndrome

    You called? First, do not get him a Nokia! They suck nowadays... Most phones in Europe are unlocked. The normal way is to buy the phone in a independent store and then sign up to a carrier of your choice. All phones work in all carrier networks, at least as long as the radio hardware is...

    Why is this wireless router so fast?

    Yes, definitely. Ikea is considered to sell stuff of reasonable quality to a really low price. There are several chain of stores that aim for a little better quality at premium prices. I think most people would feel cheap if they bought everything exclusively from Ikea, even though there is...

    Why is this wireless router so fast?

    It is actually not all that exceptional around here. When I moved here in late 1999 I had a 10Mbit/s ethernet connection in the apartment. The cost was included in the rent. Today almost every household in the city have 100MBit/s fiber access straight into the living room. I pay just below $40...

    Something Random

    Sweden is not very densely populated and it is over 1200 miles from north to south. There are a lot of swedes that have a looong way to the nearest Ikea. One of the newest Ikea's were built in Haparanda in the far north of Sweden a couple of years ago and there are actually quite a lot of...

    Bluray software puzzle...

    Well... Yes! And for that you don't need the coming 6Gbit/s sata standard. The present 3Gbit/s sata is plenty good. English is not my native language and I am not sure if I am misunderstanding you. Please excuse me if I am too obvious. Your ancient scsi stuff has all disks on a bus. Even if...

    Bluray software puzzle...

    The SSD's you can buy today doesn't need more bandwidth than the 3GBit/s that SATA has available today. They are close but 3GBit/s is enough. There are some SSD's coming soon that will need the faster SATA standard, for example the Micron RealSSD C300..

    ISP detecting ICS

    The router uses the destination port of the packet to decide which internal IP address it should be routed to. There are no way the ISP can see that you have several computers on your private network other than analyzing traffic patterns (as ddrueding said).

    Tuning 2003 server for workstation use

    Anyone use these monitors? Opinions?

    Yes! I have one, although it is branded as a Compaq 1210. I have seen at least one that was fuzzy and unsharp but my monitor is great. Very sharp. Great quality. I think I paid around $1500 for it 5 years ago.

    Evidently, I will be buying a $100 sound card in 2005

    Well, the card is SEK 415 plus SEK 125 for postage. The Swedish post office charges SEK 219 to ship a small package to USA. If you would like it insured it is another SEK 60. Divide by 7,8 to get US$. It will end up somewhere around $100... :o This link might work...
