  1. ISA server is massive, but hugely configurable. The only way you would get the benefit of it is having a client machine you can use to test access to the net with.

    You didnt mention is this a virtualized box? or a physical one?

    A free AV would be Avira or Clamwin.

    Iv never used Forefront to be honest, what about looking into SCOM 2K7 with an SQL backend, that has Nap along with a LOT more (im guessing similar to what forefront provides? although i could be very wrong)

    Cheers

  2. Hi everyone,

    I have an ARC-1230 Card which runs at 8X in a PCIe slot. I emailed Tech support at areca to ask if it would reduce performance running this card in a 4X slot and they said

    Dear Sir,

    put this controller into a x4 slot will not impacted performance, because the performance bottleneck of this controller is not the external bus but the internal bus. the internal bus speed is similar as x4 PCIe bus.

    So i asked What internal bus he was referring to and got the answer:

    Dear Sir,

    i mean the processor internal bus.

    What does everyone here think? :wacko:

    Thank you

    EDIT:

    What im thinking is that i will buy an Asus board that has the Nvidia 750i chipset or higher as i know that they have 2 PCI lanes @ 16X. Then i can put the card in a 16X slot, that way it will definitely run ok.

  3. Why would someone want to use vista whether it's SP1 SP2 when you can use an unbloated version of Windows 7 it comes out in 2009/10 but that does'nt mean you cant use XP till then right ?

    My message to people who use Vista for the default OS..dont end of story get over it and wait for 7, some people waste Microsoft's time around the world while asking witty questions and reporting bugs, this is a cause of delayed products and why they release SP's. Hopefully Microsoft will ignore and slowly take their time needed to create this new OS instead of focusing on times + deadlines. Not only this but if your thinking of buying a computer or hardware you might have to buy more after because hardware vendors will need to support certain things within Windows 7 eg DirectX 11.

    let the typing commence :thumbup

    WRONG TOPIC CAN YOU PLEASE MOVE IT TO "Microsoft Beta Discussion" ? Thanks

    This website here shows some Windows 7 screenshots, would'nt microsoft want to move away from vista lol i mean why release SP's and updates on two OS (vista, Windows 7) that look-a-like as each other, does not make sense they both will do the same things obviously unless vista will be use for only directX 10 and Windows 7 will be DirectX 11..but still the OS will do the same things..no sense hm im getting way ahead of myself now.

    This just annoys me.

    :realmad: :realmad: :realmad:

    Windows 7 Kernel = Windows Vista Kernel + Despatcher Lock removed, Usermode scheduler added, Boot from VHD enabled and minwin + More. Now please tell me how you can possibly be so anti-vista and pro win 7 knowing what you now know....

  4. Nah the 12TB is going in the server, it will be 10TB after RAID 6. Thats the whole point of me doing this i want a desktop and a server seperate not a crazy hybrid thing like iv always had.

    Just looking at motherboards now and wondering if a standard Asus board or something similar is gonna play nice with this RAID card :crazy:

    I hope so, does anyone have suggestions of what to get?

  5. Ok thats it! iv ordered the Areca Card, really thanks a lot for the help on this, i read through the datasheet and I love the sound of MAID along with the rest of the features, like you mentioned the ethernet port sounds really cool, i will be able to http to my RAID card :D

    Im building a server cause im sick of storing things across my computer and messing about with it all the time, now all i need to do is save some more for the rest of it, but at least thats the most expensive thing out of the way.

    Thank you

  6. Apologies Crahak you are quite right, I must have overlooked those drivers... now im torn between the 2 again, 2008 drivers are not supported on the 3ware card.

    Also I have just checked that slot on 2 boards I have and it is a 1X slot. So would it just fit in 16X slot and effectively use only half of the bandwidth?

    Thanks

    EDIT: just been back to their site and i did not notice the FTP link on the download page, thanks again Crahak :)
