    Abit IP35 Pro Bios v.18 Question

    I have the same question about the board but am running a Q6600. My issue is that I can't use any virtualization programs b/c VT-x "isn't supported" it claims, yet this is a function of the CPU and my and your Q9300 support it. From what I understand the V10 remedies this issue and allows for...

    USB & network Drives misnamed - name doesn't match when with new mapped drives

    This seems to be a common problem I've experienced with Windows after some use (fresh installs don't seem to be effected). When network drives are added and removed there seems to be some retention of the names and when another drive is added on that same drive letter it uses the previous name...

    Multi-thread downloading with dual WAN connection -

    If I setup a dual WAN connection (pfSense router - load balancing) will I be able to use the aggregate bandwidth to download HTTP/port 80 for larger files? I know my download manager splits large files into segments and download the files in parts. So if it is a 1GB file, it currently splits...

    Why use the antivirus CLI? Is there an advantage to it?

    I have some friends in the tech business and they are often talking about working on their AV CL scripts to do this or that. I was wondering what is the point of it if the GUI does the same thing? Am I missing something here? does the cl offer more options or something?

    Good Anti-Virus Software?

    AV software reliability and ease of use seems to be dependent upon the phases of the moon, whether it is high or low tide and whether there is a Rep or Dem in the white house. J/K. The strange thing is that one app may be great one year and then they redesign the interface and change the...

    Do I need AI Suite II or Remote Go?

    I don't think it is a necessity (this is for Asus mobo correct?)? AI suite has some nice features, I would install it unless you have no room. As far as remote go, I'm not sure about that.

    Hardware naming conventions for standardization - what do they mean?

    I was just reading another thread where someone was listing parts for a server and there was a response of "Too much extra junk in that. K CPU and Z motherboard? overclocking not needed CPU cooler? No OC, not needed". I took that to mean that the K series CPU and Z series mobo are meant for...

    Mixing monitors with different resolutions - is this a problem?

    I have 2 24" monitors running 1920x1080 and 2 19" at 1680 x 1050. My video card ASUS GT640-2GD3 GeForce GT 640 has 2 DVI & 1 HDMI & 1 D-SUB. I plan on mounting the 2 24"s next to each other and the 19"s above them (unless someone can suggest different). My motherboard also has a displayport...

    Best Graphics cards under 120$?

    I think the ASUS GT640-2GD3 GeForce GT 640 2GB 128-bit would fit the bill. I can tell you it is a great card and at $90 (after $10 rebate) it is priced nicely.

    Testing Hard drives before installing to NAS?

    I just got 2 4TB WD red drives that I am going to run in RAID 1 on a Zyxel NSA320. I made the mistake of installing them before testing them and I am having some issues. Before I fill these monsters and clear the source drives for resuse, I want to test them and make sure there isn't going...

    Choppy video when accessing NAS after new drive installs

    I just upgraded my Zyxel NSA320 to dual 4TB drives (WD Red - I spoke to tech support & they said they work with latest firmware - which I have), in RAID 1. The upgrade was successful with no issues that were noticeable. Sometimes while coping files to the device and I am getting system lag...
