until we "RAM" new thinking into peoples heads we will still be stuck in a magnetic media world huh alec.

http://www.ntcompatible.com/thread.php?id=25442 ^this is the method i use. search for "slipstream" in these forums there are several topics regarding this and they all work.

i know how u feel dood... i use the photo gallery part of photoshop for that. i think it's even free now.

only from personal experience i have a dual xeon with and old geforce 4200 and i have no probs setting wolf to 120 fps and having it stay (1024x768) and the cool thing about a dually is that if it starts a virus scan or i forget to shut off the video encoder while im playing i dont even notice.

alec u forgot the single biggest advantage of a scsi drive. bi-directional read write reading and writing on the same clock cycle. btw the new seagate 15k drives are super quiet

at times the forums can be quiet. most here i believe are professionals hard at work, but today i think everyone might have serious burnout.

one of our engineers just got a dual xeon with one of these drives. it kicks butt

anything but a usb should do check the harware compatibility area of this website when u decide just in case

what kind of dvd writer

are u running xp on the ftp server computer? u opened ports 20/21 serverside (destination) but are there client ports that need to be opened?

it's not terribly difficult. the hardware should be fine. for the most basic setup just follow the prompts when installing the sbs and reconfigure the clients. should work almost automatically

remote desktop should work thru vpn just make sure the client firewalls (xp) are turned off or the remote desktop service added... i tried lmhosts but i just didnt have any luck myself. maybe im just doing it wrong

when im connected vpn to work all my pings go thru the vpn. if u can ping the internal nat address then u know u are in. while connected to vpn it's best to have your nat addy's (if u have any) different than your vpn. i.e. domain addresses are 192.168.xxx then change yours to 207.67.xxx u can map a network drive directly if u know the share name (which is how i do it from home)

i would also like to know if someone can answer this. to my knowledge that is one of the drawbacks of microsoft vpn. u can address other computers directly by ip but not by name. u cant' join a domain that i'm aware and cant see them in explorer.

it wont hold backwards but i can get it in backwards for a sec thats all the time it takes other than that i know of no other tricks

the old way to reset the cmos is to install the bios battery backwards for about 2 sec.

my p3 800 dual i needed to buy a primary and a stepping processor. wouldnt work with 2 of the same. a step processor was different. the p4's dont require that

u said a "matched" pair does that mean a primary and a stepping processor. the dually requirements for the p4 xeon is opposite than the p2 and p3.

^ what he said

another tip if your badly hijacked create a new temp admin account and run adaware from there then delete that account.

unplug the pc and turn the modem off plug lappy in and turn the modem back on. cox establishes a trust when the modem is turned on so it must be rebooted to create a trust account with a new computer.

dunno, i used it for years and havent had a problem even if it isnt on a supported os (ie w2k server)

one of the users here got an email that looks like it was sent to: http://www.<domain>.com/mailboxs/<user> i dont think exchange is supposed to be configured to do that is it? keep in mind i know nuthin about exchange

after u have identified the virus u can go here http://securityresponse.symantec.com/ and see if they have a removal tool ps norton is fine antivirus program

doh! been so busy i havent had time to read thru eveything.
