    Intel S845WD1-E mobo, 2.4Ghz P4, 1Gig of RAM

    I've got that in a 1U server chassis, and it's running like a dog. Originally it was running CentOS, but it was horribly slow, so I wiped the HD and installed Debian Sarge, hoping that would fix it. PHP benchmarks are putting my server on par with a Pentium 133mhz. There were no errors during...

    Argg.. hard disk failure

    My storage drive just failed. Yesterday I heard the drive spin up to speed, only to power down and then spin up again, over and over. My computer was still working, because the drive was just coming out of power save. So I turned it off, waited a while and booted again. When it came up, one of...

    Looking to buy a new server

    My company has a Windows 2003 server with only 16 client access licenses. There are always around 15-16 users on the server at a time, and so it is a giant pain in the ass when Windows says we're not allowed to connect without adding more licenses. I convinced the CFO to approve the purchase...

    What's the biggest, baddest workstation video card available?

    Thanks for all your suggestions.. I'll probably get the Quadro1100. As far as the suggestion that the drives are a bottleneck, I would have to disagree. The files are under 500 megs, and the files load up fairly quickly (files are stored on a network Raid 0+1 server), and the CPU will be...

    What's the biggest, baddest workstation video card available?

    Well, I saw some Quadro FX's for $1300 - are those really any faster than an X800? I'll probably realistically spend $500-$600 per card, since I'll have to buy at least 10. It makes me cringe to think about spending $6000 on video cards, since I know they'll be obsolete in a year.

    What's the biggest, baddest workstation video card available?

    I'm the IT department at this company that designs specialized [h]ard vehicles (think a hummer, except the hummer is peewee herman compared to my company's mr. hulks). Everything is fabricated from scratch, and all the engineers work with dual xeons on Quadro 500's with 2gigs of Ram. Even on...

    Killed two AXP's.. what to do with them?

    My first ever processor kill, and then a while longer I kill another one too. I was trying to unlock one of them, so I put it into a board, boot it up and the LED diagnostics said dead CPU. I tried a few more times to the same result, so I pulled an unmolested AXP from a working system so that...

    Photochop Gawds, posers, people alike! $10 for best banner.

    I just wanted to point out that you should be careful as to what you use as a background picture in these logos. I'm assuming that the background picture for this logo was taken off the web somewhere and copyright owner of that photograph wasn't asked for permission. As a photographer, I...

    Anyone in SC with a P4 PSU I can test some hardware on?

    My P4 2.4ghz system has died and I need to test to see if its the mobo, cpu, PSU, or RAM that has died. The problem is all my other systems are AMD based and I don't have the same hardware to test. Anyone in Clemson or Charleston, SC with compatible hardware for me to test?

    Server died

    I've got a webserver - P4 2.4Ghz on a Intel ServerBoard WD845WD1 motherboard thats encased in a 1U at a datacenter. This morning my server wasn't responding, so I had a tech go take a look at it and he said that it was off. He powered it on, the power light comes on and the HD light blinks...
