Posting this here as both a question and FYI for anyone that may run into this in the future. Last November, I purchased Windows 10 Pro (full retail) from the Microsoft Store as a digital download. I found it strange that they did not send me a key, so no problem I'll just use Produkey to...

Hi guys... planning a new build and I am looking hard at this motherboard combined with a 6700K and 32GB of RAM. I would also like to purchase the new Samsung NVME drive (http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-950-512GB-PCIe-NVMe/dp/B01639694M) to use with this board, but I can not determine if the M.2...

Just deployed my first SLI setup with a pair of MSI Nvidia 680's. I noticed there are two connectors on each card, I only installed one bridge, do I need to install both? What is the second connector for? It works as expected, but was just curious if I was missing something....

I've looked high and low and can't seem to put a finger on how to deploy updates to an ESXi 5 machine? Everything I've seen suggests that I need to download a series of packages and apply them manually. My install is getting fairly aged now (about 9-10 months) so I'm assuming there's probably a...

So I'm just getting started with ESXi and struggling just a bit to get my networking just right. I have two VLAN's: vlan1 - 10.0.0.0/24 vlan2 - 10.0.1.0/24 I want to use vlan1 as the management network, vlan2 for the VM's. I'm using the on-board NIC on the mobo in the ESXi server and it's...

Ok here's the skinny, and I want to solve this problem once for all (if possible). I have a PC and a Mac Mini, and a Corsair USB headset. For speakers, I have a Logitech 2.1 setup which is currently tied to the PC's onboard soundcard. Is there a product (or method) that exists that will allow...

I've got two ASUS VH242H displays that I absolutely love, one is brand new, the other is approaching two years old. The problem I am encountering is on the older display, it is noticeably dimmer than the new display. I've made sure both displays are set to the same preset, and while not...

I'm right in the middle of my new build and I hit a potential snag. I've got a Corsair AX850 PSU going to an ASUS Crosshair IV mobo. They sent two EPS 12V cables with the power supply, and unless I'm missing something, the connectors are keyed wrong. There are two 4 pin connectors side by...

I've got Windows 7 Ultimate x64 running on two Intel 40gb SSD's in a RAID 0 config and so far the speed is phenomenal... better than any drive I have ever experienced! I also have a 1 terabyte SATA drive that I've installed my games, photos, music, etc to, but I'm worried about the stress...

Hey guys... had some questions about SSD drives. It's been a long time since I've put my hands on any computer hardware and I've recently saddled up again with the purchase of a new machine. I want to purchase an SSD to use as a primary/boot drive. I'll be running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit...

I've got a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit install and one of the things that I am unable to change is the logon behavior. I'd like to setup a ctrl-alt-delete process ala Windows XP with a simple box that contains a field for a username and password, is this not possible in this version of...

Ok so here's the deal... I get this awesome deal on a 1U server that's perfect for my application (web, mail, and asterisk server) eagerly await it's arrival, rack it up, power it up, and suddenly it sounds like I'm in the middle of a hurricane :( It's tolerable, but not really. It's just a...

I'm currently running a webserver with Debian "Etch" and it's been doing just fine. I keep reading over all the great features of Ubuntu server 8.04 and I'm wondering if it's worth it to make the switch? Opinions? Anyone else running Ubuntu 8.04 server and happy with it? Is there any real...

I run 3 personal websites out of my house on a dedicated Debian server running Apache. From time to time, my IP will change without notice and while I have a script to keep it updated, sometimes I bring the server itself down. I would like to set up a copy of my websites on a friends server...

I run some websites at home and periodically my IP changes. I'm working on a shell script to run on cron that will check my IP every 12 hours and update it if needed. I'll admit I'm not much of a programmer, but here is what I've come up with so far: #!/bin/bash publicip=`curl -s...

I'm wanting to upgrade my network to Gigabit. Something that's always remained a mystery to me is if let's say my router has 10/100 ports that I attach to a gigabit switch. I have two computers with gigabit cards connected to the switch and I want to transfer a file between them (on the same...

I've been scouring the internet all day today trying to come up with some information on this processor. I've not been able to find much, Intel.com doesn't have much information on this processor besides the stuff I already knew such as clock speed and L2 cache etc. I bought a Dell E1505...

I bought a nice Dell used for my brother-in-law for christmas and I want to wipe the drive clean and put a fresh install of XP on it. Of course they couldn't find the system restore discs, but the CD-key is on the side of the machine fortunately. Having never dealt with this, I want to...

I'm refurbing a Dell PC for my brother-in-law, it's running a socket 478 2ghz celeron. When I took the HSF off, I noticed a hole in one corner of the processor's heatsink? I have never seen this before and wondered if it was normal. I also want to clean the HSF up and apply a fresh coat of...

I have an ASUS K8V SE deluxe motherboard running XP pro with on board sound that quit working. The weird part is why. I need to run 2 sound cards in this box, so I installed an Audigy 2 PCI card along with the drivers and that is when the onboard sound quit working. My first thought was...

This question may be kind of vague, as I'm not really sure that a DNS server will accomplish my given task, so I'm gonna attempt to explain ;) I run a mix of windows and linux machines on my home network and IP/machine management is getting to be a nightmare. What I would like to do is run a...
