what exactly are you trying to monitor? I use cacti/rrdtool and snmp
most vid cards and mobos come with that functionality.

Ofcourse, but I know there are nicer tools out there.

Has any one successfully been able to get rid of Trojan.Vundo without reformatting? I have done all of the obvious things (turning of system restore, booting in safe mode, running avg/malwarebytes/symantec/vundofix/spyhunter) but I still have it. I noticed that quite a few people have been having a problem with this virus. Is there an antivirus that will work? If not how would I go about finding the registry files I need to delete to get rid of it. I would prefer not to fuck up my computer even more.

BSOD is happening every time I book the computer up after a couple hours.

PFN-List-Corrupt

stop 0×0000004e

0×00000008f, 0×00000sd11c (that one might not be right), 0×0000052E6, c0×00000000

That help at all? I have the BSOD sitting there if any more info is needed.
download memtest and check the results

update all of your drivers through windows updates(you don’t overclock do you?)

Update video drivers from the manufacturers website

I’ll have 1 320gig drive and a 1tb drive in my server. I’m looking to put in more space. I was wondering if smaller drives, 500gig > * would be more stable and reliable. Or does it just have to do with manufacturer.

I will not be doing raid. Just storage for right now. In 5 months I’ll setup a raid configuration. I’m wondering if I should buy 2 500gig drives or a 1tb drive. I figure if I buy 2 500gig drives I half my chance for loss of my material.

What drives should I stay away from for this type of thing. I hear the WD green drives are decent even though they only have 8mb cache. How fast of a drive do I need for a server? (stream movies/ nightly backup)

My build can be seen here: plus a 7900GS overclocked and another 250gb hard drive

I won’t be doing much gaming, if any at all. My main uses are photo editing, some graphic design (logos, typefaces, non-3d), web design, music listening and composition, web browsing, pr0n.

The idea of XP x64 being a little leaner appeals to me A LOT, but how is its stability….it’s built on the server platform right?

Thoughts? Why XP or why Vista?
I’ve only used Vista x64 but I’ve read in a bunch of places on the internets (including here) that for some reason, Vista x64 > XP x64. It’s more stable, possibly?

I have the E4500 Processor and it shows Core Speed at 1197.2MHz with a Multiplier x 6.0 and everyonce in a while it’ll show Core Speed at 2194.2MHz with a Multiplier x 11.0.

This is a 2.2ghz processor. Why would it be switching up like that?

Is it because at the current time I’m not using both cores?
It’s the intel speedstep power saving feature. When the CPU isn’t under a lot of load, it will run slower to reduce power usage.

ok, thank god. I was just making sure. I figured that was the case but my roommate was like you have something wrong.

My girlfriend has a generic, huge screen, costco HP laptop that she got durring the summer and has finally come to hate it. She want’s to get a new laptop under a thousand dollars that’s not too big (no 17" screens), and that has a lot of bang for it’s buck. She also want’’s it to be "pretty" but I told her that she should probably look for performacne first. But pretty would be a bonus. I was looking around but does anybody have any suggestions? She going to be using it in college next year so maybe something she can bring to class too.

I got an old computer that I want to turn into a server for my website.
It’s got a 120gb hard drive and 764mb ram.

I googled around and there seem to be a lot of different tutorials or guides on how to do this. Anybody have any guides they would recommend?
i just run winxp pro on mine. added a bunch of drives and set permissions. i remote desktop into it whenever i need to make a change
You can run a server off just about anything. It’s all about configuring it to run reliably and be operable remotely.
