<4> I was about to mention to roofie that 100% CPU usage when working with files is a hallmark of PiO.
<1> would it be set to PiO though?
<1> i would hope it's auto
<4> once in awhile windows goes all glitchy and overrides bios to set PiO.
<4> and once in awhile bios could go all glitchy (or be horribly misconfigured) to set it to PiO itself.
<1> ok...
<1> brb
<4> happened once with Alucard, my 200gb. windows set it to PiO, overriding bios, and also munched the filesystem.
<5> How do I read dat text files/
<6> .dat ?
<6> rename them to .doc or .txt
<6> or "open with" word or your word processing program
<5> ehh ha to download a yahoo decrypter
<7> !commands
<7> !symantec
<7> ?faq-help
<8> i know the Ultra Xconnect PSU's arent amazing, but do they truly blow hard core?
<9> if i had a PSU that could give me a good blow, i'd be hard pressed to say it's NOT amazing.
<10> has anyone ever had a problem with a case with loose risers, how did u remedy the problem?
<8> T4rC0n, yea i have, cant remember for **** how i fixed it though
<8> come to think of it, dont think i did fix it, just didnt screw in thouse risers
<8> if you dont mind a little cutting, i spose you could just drill new holes and move it down an 1/8"
<10> bah
<10> drilling
<11> ?
<8> is it better to host a game on a semi-decent computer as a dedicated server, or host it running normaly on a really nice computer?
<1> dedicated
<8> my box is a P4 3.40HT with 2 gig ram, the one i would use is a celeron 3.20 with a gig of ram
<8> would i need to install windows server2000 on it, then or could i just run the games dedicated server off windows XP pro?
<1> you can run the dedicated server on xp, yeah
<12> linux ftw for gameserver hosting :P
<1> i agree
<12> allthough if i were to pick between win2k and xp for a dedicated i'd take win2k any day :)
<8> well i can throw a different HDD into the celeron box and load windows 2K onto it
<12> i'd do that then
<1> smells like a plan
<8> will the difference be noticable on a dedicated server?
<1> yes
<1> and it won't kill your frames
<12> xp uses 3 times as much mem in plain idle than win2k :|
<8> i see
<12> ie more mem for the game hehe
<8> how hard is linuxftx to run as a server for a decent linux user?
<12> well i tried it for the first time for exactly the reason of hosting a game (cs)
<12> rig was a 2ghz xp-m (333fsb) 768mb ram
<12> ran very smooth
<12> even with 20 peeps on it
<12> or more
<12> win2k say 20-25 peeps would probably lag a bit
<8> i can get around in Ubuntu plenty, cant run games quite yet but i know it well enough
<1> you looked at cedega?
<8> yeah
<12> well you can host games on ubuntu as well
<8> a little aprehensave before paying for software though
<1> from what i've heard it works good
<1> i run ubuntu myself
<8> im in love with ubuntu
<8> i just dont understand it aswell as i do windows yet
<12> getting them to go online is the tricky part :D
<8> right
<12> i dumped ubuntu cause i couldnt get hlds to access inet :P
<12> turned out it was my router.... lol
<1> oh that ****s
<1> LOL
<12> ended up running on uhm... now i forgot what it was... whatever sh4dowcat runs
<8> alright, thanks a lot guys
<8> so to sum it up, if i run the win2K on the dedicated server, i'll lack connection transfer before having problems with the box quality?
<1> i used to run a CS 1.6 server on a p3 550mhz with 192 ram
<1> i could get like 16 people on it
<8> ill probably run DOD or wolf ET
<8> something that alot of people - friendly
<1> um yeah, bandwidth is more important
<8> i have the timewarner gold packate
<1> upstream is important
<1> you arn't capped are you?
<8> its 8 megs down
<8> and if they cap it lower then that i'll call and bitch
<1> but if you're hosting upstream is just as importlant
<8> upstream is more imporatant isnt it?
<1> well, syncronous is preferred
<1> how much do you get up?
<8> not sure
<13> Hey here is a good question, How do you create 1 Restore DVD for your system like the HP and Compaq do it?
<1> if it's around 50kB/sec....
<1> you arn't going to be able to host more than 8 users
<8> if its 8 megs down im sure it cant be bad up
<8> ill call tomorrow and ask what the cap is at
<8> cause im sure its lower then what im paying for
<1> hmmmm
<13> Anyone know ?
<8> im out, thanks guys
<14> MCsE2K5S, it entirely depends on the amount of applications etc
<1> np, later
<14> if you have more than 4.5GB worth of system and applications installed.. then well multiple dvds
<14> but you can use something like norton ghost
<14> to make an image
<1> i think he's talking about out of the box auto install for windows
<1> plop it in, walk away...
<14> images would work like that
<14> insert norton ghost cd.. run through crap.. put in dvd
<14> it installs
<1> nice
<13> Ok cool , I was asking casue my cousin has once dvd from Emachines that installes everything *Restore Disc from 1 DVD
<14> oh right
<14> that's probably for that emachines machine only
<1> it uses an answer file, and a UDB probably
<1> and just slipstreams apps into it
<13> I thought instead of installing all 100+ apps when my system crashes , I could just back everything up into 2-3 dvdrs
<14> because most restore systems access the other partition on the harddrive(one used to install the backup applications)
<14> usually in fat32
<13> Ahh
<13> k thanks
<15> what's a good cheap laptop?
<13> Jetta
<15> isn't that a car
<13> No
<10> lol
<11> VW car
<11> jetta
<12> MCsE2K5S thats just a slipstreamed windows with drivers installed and a crappy graphical background showing you wots going on :P
<12> i've made a couple of those for some n00b0r friends
<12> plug it in and 20 mins later windows+ all the programs/drivers/codecs they normally use is installed
<13> Which apps are used for slipstreaming?
<12> nlite :)
<12> google it and first result
<13> k thanks
<12> should be a link somewhere on the nlite page to a UBER guide
<15> you have your mcse?
