    File..Open/Save Dialogs shows reverse order, help!

    what's the best way of showing 4 hard disks as 1?

    Thanks again haemphyst. I have been looking at that site you gave me the link to and am also starting to think raid 5 would be a better option. At the moment the company is running on a 50gb file server (astonishing i know) So i think 750gb would be ample for quite some time to come, and i do...

    what's the best way of showing 4 hard disks as 1?

    Thanks Martin, i shall have to persuade my boss to spring for another couple of drives, this is still costing a lot less than a pre-built server, i just hope it performs well! one day soon i might actually get to the stage of setting up a raid, but today i went to fit the CPU's (dual xeons) to...

    what's the best way of showing 4 hard disks as 1?

    Thanks Haemphyst, this was exactly the information i was after, a Raid 0 is what i want, extra speed with no disk space loss. We will be backing up the entire contents to SuperDLT, so we can do without redundancy, but would you recommend buying a few spare hard drives of the same make/model...

    PC Still won't work! Have I tried everything?!

    i had a pretty similar problem with an old athlon 800mhz cpu and some pc100 ram. I could never pinpoint the problem and ended up getting a new cpu, motherboard and ram to fix it. Worked fine after that...

    what's the best way of showing 4 hard disks as 1?

    I am building a fileserver at work, using 4x identical 250gb SATA hard disks. Ideally I want these discs to appear as one 1TB drive in Windows, for ease of management, but i'm unsure what the best way to do this is. The motherboard ( Supermicro X6DAE-G2) supports SATA Raid, but is it possible...

    Geforce fx5200 128mb on 1x agp

    QUOTE by cdogg: "To be honest, it really shouldn't matter whether you buy an 8x card. Even though you have to run an 8x card in 4x mode, benchmarks show very little difference if any (and any difference is only at extremely high resolutions that you won't use like 1600x1200)." I...

    Which Heatshnk

    I have the Aero 7 Lite and am very impressed. In tests it's actually a better perfomer than the regular version because it has a larger fan. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ There are 10 kinds of people in the...

    Upgrading with older/discontinued graphics card (Radeon 8500)

    i'm just wondering if your AGP slot is 1x/2x only because those new cards (i think) need a minimum of AGP 4x to work. If that's the case, try and get hold of a Geforce 3 Ti 500 on ebay as this card can still play all new games with high details setting and high resolution as long as your PC can...

    What are the best Nvidia drivers?

    to be fair, the difference is negligable most of the time. If you're playing games, you probably won't notice a visible difference in performance or graphics quality from one driver set to another. It's mainly in benchmarks that the differences become apparent, and with all the cheating from...

    GeForce FX5900 Ultra boot up issue

    i used to experience a similar problem with my Ti500. Try a)updating your video drivers and b)updating your motherboard drivers to see if this corrects the problem as it solved it for me. Also, i believe this card connects to the PSU? Is your PSU sufficient power (350W+) to cope with your...

    do you have active directory installed on your primary domain controller? If so, i have written some code which gets the details from active directory and imports them into a contacts list. I could probably change a few lines and have it working for you if you want...

    disable ie???

    if you have windows 2000 server, you can create a group policy for those users who you want to restrict, and not only can you reset their proxy settings at definable interludes, but you can stop them from being able to run iexplore.exe or any other executable you want. PAndersen's tip is good...

    nlm, you can do this using VBA code in the visual basic editor within Outlook. You need to write code that checks each message as it arrives and then creates a new e-mail and sends it to the chosen recipients if the attachment is over 1000kb...
