We are putting together a database server, and we have 8 core licenses for SQL Server 2012. So we're limited to 8 cores in the new server. Does anyone have any benchmarks/experience on if we would be better off with say, 2 E5-2407 (4cores @ 2.2Ghz) or 1 E5-2407 (8 cores @ 2.3Ghz)?
Anyone have any experience with external RAID enclosures such as this

Would USB3 be faster than eSATA? Anyone have any real world experience or benchmarks?
There's actually 2 GPO settings, one specifically for domains and one for unmanaged.
Interestingly if your not on a domain it will scan way longer than on a domain. If you are on a domain by default it will only return the first 20 directory records. So it isn't scanning the network, it's just...
RebateMonger: active directory
Nothinman: The 'List in Directory' option is set, and show up in the active directory printer listing.
VinDSL: The printers work fine when installed through the old XP style printer directory on Windows 7.
The issue is in Windows 7 Microsoft added a screen...
We have a directory with about 30 printers.
When searching the initial add a printer, for some reason Windows only displays maybe 15 of them. All of them can be seen if you go to "Printer i want isn't listed" and install it from the old XP style directory search.
I google'd high an low and...
Anyone know of a good third party battery supplier?
Official batteries are always a ridiculous cost, while I'm afraid a 3rd party one might explode in my face. Anyone have any good experiences with any specific vendors?
We currently have a Cisco 1200 series with a AIR-ANT2506 (~6dbi) covering a mid size area outdoors. We are looking to be able to connect to a new 1300 bridge that is slightly too far for the current antenna, we were considering replacing with a AIR-ANT24120 (12db) but the 7 degree vertical...
So far thanks for all the replies!
On the subject of heat, it seems the best way to go about this is to just reduce the heat generated by the system components. I can think, off the top off my head, possibly an SSD and a lower wattage/higher efficiency PSU would help with this. Any other...
I'm pondering building a new machine and one of the things I'd like to fix is my current desktop puts out a lot of heat, and in the confines of my desk area it can get quite warm due to the air blowing from the case.
Would a water cooled system mitigate this problem? Or are there any other...
The value of DLP has certainly gone down with the dropping of price in bigger LED/Plasma screens but the hate for DLP is pretty weird.
If you're worried about about bulbs you can shop around for an LED DLP (I know Samsung made them). No color wheel, no lamp.
I bought a DLP for my living...
I have an older 60GB PS3 and it's been freezing midway through movies due to overheating. I tried setting it horizontal in a well ventilated area, but it still has trouble making it through an entire movie.
Does anyone know if any of the PS3 coolers actually work? I've heard the intercooler...
I was ordering our first N routers for our company and I noticed you can get a/g/n or g/n routers. We have no use for 802.11a by itself, would it make any difference in just going with the g/n variety?
I'm working on quoting a new file server for our company and I'm weighing the options for drives (RAID 5).
These are some base prices from Dell just to give a range of the cost per GB.
7.2k RPM SATA ($0.35/GB)
7.2k RPM Near-Line SAS ($0.41/GB)
10k RPM SAS ($0.90/GB)
15k RPM SAS ($1.07/GB)...
