I ordered the incredible last week so hopefully I'll have it in 2-3. I ordered a few extras so here is what I recommend. I got the extended battery. This really made a difference in my BB Storm and I heard the Incredible's stock 1300mah battery doesn't last that long. There is a 3500mah...

Creative ZEN Vision:M 30GB that I got for my hs graduation in May 2006. Still got 8GB's left on it and it has great battery life and good sound so why replace it? If I do replace it it will be a Zune HD 64GB whenever they decide to release that size.

Just sent you a PM.

Just sent you a PM :)

I've used Acronis True Image Echo and it's great. Being able to make images of running systems is the best part about it. It has good compression as well.

Same here, no problems running bittorrent 24/7 and I use it download tv shows from torrlog and other sites. Besides my crap upload speeds I have no problems. I run it on WHS and I have anitvirus running but none have had a virus so far.

My friend had it to learn German and one night we started it up and went through a couple lessons out of boredom. I think it would work if you went through all the levels. I think I would give it a try.

I use Firefox portable, and I like Evernote as well. I also have used ClamWin portable to scan things for viruses before putting them on my usb drive or to scan infected PCs.

Yeah, I don't think you'll see too much of a difference with Windows 2000 and HW virtualization. I think the e7400 will benefit more from it being 1GHz faster than the e6300. Plus you are using a virtualization program that is running on top of an OS, not a hypervisor based one like ESX or...

I have an E6600 as well and you can easily overclock it. I only put mine at 2.8GHz but it will go higher I just never tried. It handles Crysis Warhead just fine at 1680x1050 with a 4850 so I think you will be fine.

Well I do have WHS and I just made uTorrent as a service and use the webui so I never have to remote to it. I also forwarded the ports through my router so I can start downloads from anywhere. Besides backups WHS is a Windows Media Connect device so it works very nicely with my PS3 and Windows...

They work good for a cheap way to have an internet terminal in the kitchen or whatnot.

I would lap it too. I remember lapping used to be more popular back in the Athlon XP days, I haven't heard much talk about it lately. Like the others have said, it's not difficult at all.

Usually the slim drives are slower than the full size drives, so I would definitely go with the eSATA drive.

I would still think it is likely the mobo that is bad. The cpu rarely dies in my experiences. I had a PC that was on and the basement flooded and the computer was running with about 4 inches of water in it. The mobo oxidized but the cpu (P4 1.7GHz Williamette) was still good and I used it in...

Newegg ZipZoomFly Mwave eWiz (SuperBiiz) Directron No real order, but if I am just getting one thing and I don't care too much about price comparisons than it is right from Newegg. If I am ordering a lot of things that equal a good amount of money, then I will price compare between these...

I also agree that the E7400 is a great choice. I recently recommended that CPU to a friend who wanted to build their first computer.

You could also try a different power supply. I would also reset the CMOS as well.

You could stick ESXi on it, it's a good way to learn it if you aren't familiar with it. Though I don't know if ESX supports your highpoint raid controller, but ESXi is free so it wouldn't be to hard to figure out. This is what I have done with my old Athlon MP 2400+ server since it has set...

:D I knew that I would see some comment on his face when I saw the end of video. Sure enough!

The "Snap To" window sizing feature, should have been a feature since Windows 95. I don't know how many times I've manually moved the windows around to compare or copy information. It just doesn't seem like that hard of a feature to implement, there have been third party window managers out...

Ok, so I have host on RAID1 (whether I use server core or full blown 2008) the data on the RAID5, now could you clarify on where the OS portion of the VM's would go and where I would install SQL (unless you consider SQL as data)? I know this is unlikely to make a difference in a home...

I am in college so I can get Server 2008 for free. I am getting a technet subscription so I can get it that way too. I'd have to think about just doing RAID1's. This is going to store more than just test VM's. It is going to be my file server when I make a VM of WHS. So I kind of like...

I have a tester PC that has a Soyo KT600 Dragon mobo and an Athlon XP 2600+. My old server that I stuck ESXi on is a Gigabyte 7DPXDW-P dual socket mobo with two Athlon MP 2400+'s. The Athlon MP's are actually XP's that I painted the traces on so they "turned into" Athlon MP's.

I am building a new server to test out Hyper-V but I'm not sure how I should set up the hard drives. I want to buy 6 disks overall, two in a RAID1 and 4 in a RAID5. I was going to install Server 08 host on the RAID1 and then install the VM's and data on the RAID5. But then I read where users...

So it using the GP drives is ok then? I thought with the dynamic RPM shifting if the GP drives, that it might cause some weird performance issues. EDIT: I just read on Newegg reviews that the drive is actually stuck at 5400rpm. I thought it varied between 5400 and 7200 on load.

2x Athlon MP 2400+ Gigabyte GA-7DPXDW-P 3.25GB DDR266 2x Intel e100 NICs Adaptec 2410sa SATA RAID controller 2x Maxtor 160GB in RAID 0 An oldie, but it's a great way for me to learn ESXi with stuff I already have.

I have 8GB of Kingston 667MHz ram. I got 2 (2GB x 2) kits. I ordered it from Kingston at the time because they had a good sale on it. Nothing special, as I'm not overclocking or doing anything extreme.

Is there any benefit to using drives such as the WD RE3 enterprise grade drives that are "supposedly" better for RAID arrays versus any regular SATA drive? WD states the RE drives as spending less time trying recover bits on the drive and letting the controller take over so you don't have a...

I have almost the same monitor, it's a 22in HANNS-G though mine has DVI and VGA instead of HDMI. I just got it last month, and for the price of $125, I can't complain.

You might want to update the chipset/storage drivers, since it doesn't it doesn't seem to be a problem with Vista, so the XP drivers might have some problems.

I would also try running it in compatibility mode and you might as well check the box to run with administrative privileges.

Is there a BIOS update for your motherboard? It may fix some of the ram issues.

I am interested in one of these mainly because it would use less power and be more powerful that the P4 1.4GHz system that I use for my Endian Firewall. The key feature is that it has a PCI-E slot so I could use a dual or quad-nic card that could actually have enough bandwidth with the system...

I have wondered where it is too. It is supposedly won all these design awards but you still can't buy it after it was announced for availability in the Spring.

I am thinking about getting the Storm but it won't be until May when the contract renews. So hopefully by then, most of the bugs will be worked out. I read and seen reviews that say the Storm is slow to rotate when you change it's orientation, is that still an issue? Also, is there...

I got the Opty 2347HE's as well but I need drives and a case before I can assemble it. I am planning on installing Windows 2008 to use Hyper-V. I would use ESX but the NIC's on the supermicro H8DA3-2 are marvell chips so I don't think ESX will work with them. Though I have ESX setup on an...

I bought one of these eBay but I am going to use it :p I also got 2x 2347HE's. I have all the parts except for the case and the drives. I want to get a couple 500GB WD RE3 drives, set them up in RAID 5 and set up a MS Hyper-V server.

I can't really overclock my 4850 512MB much at all. I just had OverDrive try to OC it and it never got very far only to about 700MHz before the card failed, so I just turned it off. I have the MSI card with the newer Zalman like cooler but it didn't seem to make any difference. But the OC...

I should upgrade my driver to 8.12 as the release notes state performance increases with the 4800 series and Left 4 Dead.
