Heya, Thank you for the response :) And ahh yes - access points, and thank you for solving my IoT connection too :) This felt too complicated... and I couldn't figure out what to do with those devices. And yes, I was thinking of using the WAN for the Home and Guest, to keep them separate - so I...

Hello everyone, I'm going to be setting up my mom's home network. My plan is to configure everything, label it, and then ship it off to her. She rents rooms and there are devices which require internet access ( solar, fridge, IoT devices ). At one point, there were 60 devices connected (...

So using an x8 to x16 adapter, running with a molex to 6 pin power adapter, and using a x16 PCI-e nVidia GT 8800 i get this. ][link =http://www.passmark.com/baselines/V8/display.php?id=11536320004][/url] Increased 600 on the passmark system scale. This is proof of concept. Note however, there...

Final Rating. Can't help thinking though, i should of purchased a PCI-e NIC and disabled the legacy PCI bus. Thanks again for all your help.

So i got my cpu's in the mail, but don't have the vrm yet :( so here's a Benchmark from a single e5440 2.83 GHz The new cpu seems to have increased the video card's performance by 10%, but it's still REALLY SLOW. On a side note, anyone know what's the fastest and most RAM for this board? I...

I can appreciate that ~ and i do hear you. However, i think most transfers, home, home office, small biz, ( workgroups + a few ) would benefit from Frames. We're moving towards NAS and cloud storage. Cell phones take pics the size of mp3s, DLNA is becoming more and more integrated, backups of...

From an average of 7 Very Long tests, here's what passmark gave this system. Hopefully by Wednesday of next week, i'll get the two new CPU's in, and i'll test again Gotta find a better video card - that was really the killer in terms of benchmarking.

The whole NMI thing was the real PITA so far. Also IBM's site had download speeds of 6k, and they have some corrupted files. Aside from that, and once you know, you're good. I'll say, i was ready to ebay this system until the NMI setting. So i'm all in. Last night i splurged on 2 matched e5440...

@strongm - I figured Lan Speed Test ( LST ) was free and people could post their results if they were interested in checking their networks. It's ball park, and the full version costs $6 USD. I think somewhere i saw a 50 MB/s a few times, but i can't remember my file size :\ The 1250 MB came...

Sorry for the delay, work came up and all :s My NAS is 4 SATA RAID5. Not the fastest thing around, but at least i can go as fast as external USB 2.0 drives; if i do a bunch of smaller files ( less than 500 MB ) i go a lot faster. I should note, in the Lan Speed Test, i'm pretty sure it doesn't...

It's a qualified yes of sorts. So far, i'm running 3 15k rpm drives. The first is a volume, the next two are in a raid 0 config ( i moved the 16gb page file to the raid drive and have a few files there ). I have yet to add in the other cpu to test out the power. It seems, the trick is to...

ty :)

Still that's only twice as fast. To test things out, i'm using Lan Speed Test by Totu Soft. http://www.totusoft.com/lanspeed.html I enter in a location on my NAS, set the test size to 1250 MB - This is what i get: Version 1.3.0 OS Version: Windows 8 Date: 07/21/2013 Time: 15:30:57 Program...

Well i stopped by a local office supply store, and meandered around their tech section. I found a cheap Gigabit adapter for $10 USD, and am now sustaining 16 MB/s. However, in disabling the system Planar onboard nic, i now get a boot prompt - Error 1807 Ethernet is disabled by user... Press F1...

Let me preface this, as i'm thinking more of the SOHO market. Also, i'm not exactly sure which forum to post this into ~ so if it needs to be moved, please do. It seems that a vast majority, if not all, Gigabit devices claim, 10 times faster than 100 ~ duh * drools * These include routers...

You know, that is the ultimate question here...Money and Time. Somewhere i'm thinking, if i can get one to work, then i might be able to build up these systems for 500 or so ( 200 for the system, 200 for windows, 80 for the video card, and 20 for usb sound ). There seems to be an issue with...

Ya, i'm waiting on the blue screen lol ~ this is really a bad idea. I think i might keep this up for about a week just to see if i can gather some info from the log files. See if it tips me to where the issues lay. I looked on ebay, an extra power supply would be 30 and a pair of matched cpu's...

* sighs * i did something stupid - i made two changes at once, then added a 3rd just to mess me up more : Basically i disabled NMI reboot in the bios, and it works... however, i also tried the Win 8.1 preview... so i'm in. It loaded with two two Microsoft Basic Display Adapters. One was enabled...

Well i'm down to one hard drive, and i checked the specs on the pcie x1 bus. In theory it boots at 10w and goes up to a max of 25w. The other thing is, from the looks of the card, it's a mobile graphics chipset. What might give me/us a better idea is looking at the log files from the set up...

Well there seems to be a wealth of IBM x series systems on the market now. These are excellent computers, 8 cores at 2ghz with 8 gb ram ~ need i mention the striped drives? I picked this one up for 200 USD. Seems a lot more people have WinXp/Vista/7/8 available than Server. It would make a...
