Second hand WORKSTATION buyng recommendation

No, it's not a bad price, considering it was $550 in the second post. :D The Graphics card definitely needs to be changed out. I'd also consider upgrading the SSD to something a bit larger, but if 128GB as a boot drive is sufficient, leave it. If you think 8GB of memory isn't enough you can...

Second hand WORKSTATION buyng recommendation

I have never had issue with aftermarket upgrades for the Precision lines from eBay. If you can fix or build a custom, you can fix these by swapping parts and checking BIOS levels and compatibility of processors. Most of the time you can't exceed their own maximum spec. Parts are usually...

Second hand WORKSTATION buyng recommendation

The Xeon works well enough for games. I used to game on a T5500. A T3600 used for that price is a solid deal. Definitely not OC'ing that. If you sold your old machine you'd make a good chunk of that $550 back. If you need something along those lines, you'd need a different board and a larger...

Crucial MX100 512GB $170 using Visa Checkout

NVM - seems that they removed the stackable coupon. I'll leave this here in case anyone can still use it though. Stackable $15 off $100 for signing up for their spam.

ººººº--§§§§§§§--The Freebies thread--§§§§§§§--ººººº Part 0b110 (six).

Does anyone have Antec 5.25" drive mounting rails ? Either the larger black/white ones from a P18x series or a smaller set from the Antec Sonata and similar series? I need 2 pairs (4 rails) from either series.

2008 Mac Pro Memory Riser Problem

If she doesn't really need 10GB of memory, then no. Did you swap riser cards to see if the problem was the riser board slot on the logic board, or just fully populate the working riser? A riser card is relatively inexpensive in comparison to replacing a logic board. If it boots and works...

thinkpad t400 vs t410

IMO - the gaming performance is going to depend very heavily on the graphics card as well and without being able to compare those two directly, would not be able to give you guidance there. One would think the 3100m + i5 should be likely better than c2d + HD3450. As far as peppiness and such in...

Corporate Antivirus recommendation

Not for nothing, some security is better than no security, but I really don't want to make a recommendation for something internal and infrastructure based, from hearing the presented details about this environment. OP, I would really discuss in the short-term getting something like System...

Corporate Antivirus recommendation

I see. Your best bet if you're looking for a short-term solution would be something cloud based (ugh, I hate that term). I'd start with trying to get a handle of how thing are laid out and managed. Try to ask questions in a way that is not offensive and don't ask why based questions yet. Just...

Full Disk Encryption

Is your question primarily grounded in operations or security? Is it more of a which product is better for protecting data or which is the easiest to hit the ground running with to satisfy a compliance requirement? Any tool rolled out will take time and planning, as well as the learning curve...

Corporate Antivirus recommendation

First things first is always to start on the ground floor and inventory your organization's current policies, practices, and processes. A second thing, as Chiefcrowe already suggested is limited user environment and role-based access controls. These are a good way to reduce the attack surface...

Corporate Antivirus recommendation

Honestly - most 'corporate' AV works the same. If you rip and replace, unless you're looking for some sort of functionality your current vendor does not provide, it is a wasted effort. As others have elaborated, if you can present your current situation in terms, we might be able to assist with...

Your box as an HP 4400 workstation is probably an xw4400 workstation, if it is a workstation and not an HP desktop line. Compatibility is determined by the Mfg as 4 slots, max 2GB per slot, DDR2-667 ECC Unbuffered. Dual-channel. Pairs must be matched in size and speed. 8GB max, limited only by...
