    DDR2 Lifespan?

    I've been out of the custom PC game for a couple years now and have realized all my knowledge is pretty worthless. I'd like to upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit but need more RAM (well, I need more RAM in general.) I could buy some DDR2 or I could just go ahead and get a new mobo/proc now. I'm...

    Need advice: build a "VM Box"

    Ah yes, I was quoting the space on 4 drives not 3, but since it is RAID 5 I suppose I can just use 3. I am thinking 3x250gb drives in RAID 5 will be more than sufficient for the VMs. Then another RAID 5 of 4x500gb or something for NAS. I'll look into the Quad Core, too. I still don't know...

    Need advice: build a "VM Box"

    Well, we'll need to test different configurations as far as OS's go in addition to different web servers / versions, databases, language versions, etc. Excluding the different OS's I suppose it would be possible to create a bunch of different configurations on one server, running various web...

    Need advice: build a "VM Box"

    Hey all. Well, I think I've finally determined the most cost-effective and efficient setup for my home-office network. Now I just need some advice on what sort of hardware I'm going to need and a quick confirmation that what I want to do is relatively easily achieved. I have attached an...

    Best card for this setup?

    Around September of last year I upgraded my gaming box with some of the latest goodies: DDR2 RAM, Core2Duo processor, nice Mobo. For one reason or another I decided to wait on upgrading the video card. Lucky that I did, too, because not three months later I was summarily shipped off to...

    Custom NAS Needed?

    Yeah, I figured that out pretty quickly myself. I thought there was more to NAS than met the eye, but I suppose not. I'll just get the ol' server running again and figure out how to use Samba this time.

    Custom NAS Needed?

    My biggest qualm with using Windows Server is that all of my web servers run Linux. If I want to create an environment close to my deployment platform, I will probably run into problems doing that on Windows. Problems with missing packages, things I can't compile, etc. I don't have that issue...

    Custom NAS Needed?

    I figured more along the lines of what I need is a home server, which I ran for quite a few years in the past. I certainly don't want it running Windows, though. I have a feeling it would be far more incompatible with the Linux and OSX machines. Is that true?

    Custom NAS Needed?

    Looking ahead to when I return home and further on to when I move mid-2008, I would like to get a NAS setup for the myriad computer and computer-like objects that litter my life. Here's what I will have upon my return (roughly): 1 x MacBook Pro 1 x Mac Pro 2 x PC (XP/Linux) 1 x XBOX...

    Two Birds; One Stone?

    Phew, been a while since I've seen the familiar black and red of the ol' [H]. Perhaps it's caused in part by becoming a Mac convert or maybe being deployed this whole year, but I digress. When I return home early next year, I plan to purchase a Mac Pro to make the Apple takeover of my life...

    Odd Performance Issues

    Yes, those were run today. Aside from a few rogue Firefox cookies all is well.
