VMWARE ESX BUILD

In your case, I'd probably just go the full 8GB now that I have a better idea of how you plan to utilise your server. Let's take a "minimalist" memory construction, a basic idea of the amount of memory each component on your server will likely consume: Hypervisor: 512MB Server 2008: 1GB...

Unable to detect X-Fi Titanium

Thanks for the suggestions, but I finally found the problem. It turns out that on my motherboard, the second PCIe x16 slot shares the same bus as the three PCIe x1 slots. As such, when running a CrossFireX setup (dual graphics cards) the x1 slots are inoperable. I'm not sure if this is a...

xSauronx: I wouldn't call it overkill, but it depends on what kind of load you're intending to put on the box. I think the Q6600 is a very good choice, it's something of a sweetspot as far as Intel quad-cores go, a nice balance between performance and value. The 8GB of RAM may be overkill...

VMWARE ESX BUILD

I assume by "esx" you actually mean "ESXi", the embedded version of ESX; ESXi is free from VMware minus some of the more advanced features, whereas ESX is not in any way free. Regardless, to my knowledge both ESX and ESXi are only really supported by VMware in certified pre-built servers from...

Unable to detect X-Fi Titanium

Hello, I purchased a Creative X-Fi Titanium about a week ago, one of the new PCI Express models, and am having enormous difficulty getting it to work on my computer. Whatever I do, I am unable to get the computer to detect it, either at the OS or BIOS level. I can verify that the OS won't...
