    Does my CPU have much life left?

    I am very interested in the Z170 chipset, but I still can play modern games at a decent frame on this machine. I was about to drop around $500 for a new mobo, cpu and ram kit, but I figured I'd wait and see. Is the new AMD CPU series really going to be able to compete though? In the past few...

    Program to auto-zip Files on a Server and File them Elsewhere on the Network

    Hello, As a part of some weekly maintenance, I must check a web server for failed emails. I usually have to go into the folder on that server, compress/zip them, email them to myself and then file them away in a designated location for someone else to deal with. I'd like to know if there was a...
