  1. I have the Zalman 9500 in my machine with a P4 650 overclocked and it keeps me very cool, I'm quite happy with it... be sure and get some Arctic silver thermal paste for the conroe. Also, most definatly go with the SATA Barracuda, I just bought one 2 weeks ago, and am VERY happy with it. Disk to disk between sata 2.0 drive is insane, speeds are great, quiet.

  2. Heres my problem, I'm being audited next week in my department for all kinds of IT related things. We need to know how many copies of a certain software is installed on all of our domain computers. Does anyone know of an application which will allow me to search the program files directory of every machine on my network for a certain exe? I want to be able to put in my domain name, have it sniff out all the network machines, and then search the HD. Is this possible? I have Domain Admin access, so I can see all the machines. I cannot edit logon scripts or anything due to corporate policies. Any help would be appriciated! :thumbup

  3. Is it possible to have wireless and LAN adapters both active and processing information across different neworks?

    Here's the situation I came across today...

    I was hooking up an internet cafe for a group we had in house at our exhibit hall. They had 8 IBM PC's and 4 printers. The IBM machines were jacked into our network through 802.11g PCI wireless cards and were online and surfing fine. The 4 different printers I hooked into 3 different switches which varied in location. I then hooked the PC's into the appropriate switches in locale to the right printer though the ethernet card. I set static IP's on the printers and set the gateways. I then set static IP's on the computers on the same network as the printers. They all printed fine, no probs at all. I just couldn't get on the net...

    My problem came when trying to surf the net. I couldn't ping the wireless gateway nor the public DNS servers when the LAN card was enabled. So, at this point, I have printing due to the satatically set IP's on the machines and corresponding printers... but couldn't go anywhere on the net. It's like IE says "Oh, hey... I have a NIC card which is active, I'm going to try and connect through it.." but, the wireless was the connection with the DNS and Internet capabilities. So, long story short, I ended up cabling the whole cafe, printers and all so they'd all be on the same network and Vlan. At which point I disabled the wireless cards and they were all able to both print and surf fine.

    I have tried bridging the connections and ICS.

    So, is there a way to have both interfaces online and talking on different networks? My netowrk engineers tell me no....

    Any help or suggestions are welcome.

  4. I caved at best buy earlier and ended up buying the X-Fi Platinum. All I can say is WOW. This card is amazing, everything is so crisp, clear and sounds amazingly better than on board. The EAX and HD in FEAR are absolutely amazing. The CMSS-3D makes enhances the hell out of the surround sound and the Crystalizer tops it off. I hope the neighbors don't get to p***ed ;). I like all the softwares that come with the card, plus the remote to adjust the a variety of things and the front panel. All in all I can't complain and it was $30 less at Best Buy then on Newegg! Heres some pics:

  5. I am very interested in this thread as well. I am currently using the on board audio on my ASUS P5WD2-P mobo and am thinking about buying the X-Fi XtremeMusic sound card. I don't have enough cash flow for the Elite ;) ... it is my understanding that the X-Fi line are some of the best sound cards in the world. I am a music freak and have tons of songs, and love gaming. I've read that listening to music over one of these is like hearing again for the first time but better. Any thoughts?

  6. Its called Intel SpeedStep Technology, and I'm not entirely sure that is the issue. If the computer is idle, it would obviously step down yes, but once active again and in need of CPU it would step back up. So you have anything running in the background? Have you tried scanning for virii & spyware? Defrag? Pagefile?

  7. To start it, I just open the CPU fan, pull out the CPU and place all of them in their former position.

    What kind of CPU, mobo and heatsink are you using? Did this just all of a sudden start happening or what? Have you monitored the temp on your CPU? (yes, I know... CPU heat isn't always the answer... just getting the basics)
