That's why I'd like to see some sort of numbers. Maybe it isn't a few ms going from 4.5 to 3.2 ghz?

Appreciate it.. I did see them as the only viable option from a link in a previous message, but fortunately I can locally colo with pair.com at quite a bit of a cheaper rate.

Not one hiccup in the year and a half that it's been up.

Spoken like a true old timer. Documented cases of said recklessness?

I guess that's where I had an incorrect assumption... I thought I remember reading that clock speed played a large role in db power. In other words, overclocking a k series cpu increases what I can get from a xeon. I understand that everyone in the hosting world uses xeon, but I also assumed...

Thanks for the comments, all. Sounds like the cheaper route is the better route to go in, in this case.

I have a u3014 display currently being pushed by a single 7950. I don't game, but my yearly nerd splurge is telling me that I want to play the new COD soon. Given that, would adding another 7950 be my best or just ebay the current card and go for a r290x? Per my sig below, also relevant is...

Yep. I looked. Half of it is geared towards small-time personal hosting and the other half is garbage. I have looked into colo and have one lined up, for 200/mo, but figured I'd see what other options may be out there. The original query of this thread was for hosting comments, not monitoring...

Any suggestions for dedicated hosting at <$200/month? Main focuses are ssd's for drives and using standard i7, non-xeon, cpu's. With that said, I have nothing against xeon cpu's but am looking to maximize performace and haven't had any issue with non-xeon cpu's hosting this myself at home...

Basically, yes. The HDHR-Prime then connects to your wired network and can broadcast the signal to anything that'll receive it on the network (i.e. a HTPC). I believe the two main HTPC options are Windows Media Center and MythTV (linux)--for the live tv option, anyway. I really don't have...

You can pick up a refurbished WDTV Live for $50 that'll play streamed 1080p just fine. Unless you plan on running a full scale drone controller from your living room, spending more than a few hundred may be a bit too much.

This could even work over one connection for all that I care... I just want the lan traffic on one side to not interact, at all, with lan traffic on the other, except when specifically requested (i.e. pushing a file from a lanA computer to a lanB computer). Use case: Sometimes I do experimental...

I appreciate the responses but even this seems overly complex... although it could just very well be the nature of the setup and my complete ignorance of the networking world. What it boils down to I'm looking to have 2 separate incoming connections. My group of home computers on one side and...

Yes. The prod traffic requires a "business" account and is not suitable for a home/consumer account, and I don't want my home traffic touching the business account--so, 2 connections for 2 distinct and separate purposes.

So I'm sure this is a very simple question, but seeing that I am networking impaired I was hoping to get some guidance from the esteemed gentlemen of this forum. I currently have 1 incoming fios connection. I want to go to 2 incoming fios connections and have my prod server served by 1 and my...
