Information on Intel Xeon 3.4D

Viper, these are now retailing for more or less 130.00 apiece but looking around Ebay and such there is zero interest in them. I did finally find the stepping info thanks to Potted Meat's reply getting me off my arse and actually pulling one out and looking with a magnifying glass (darn old...

Information on Intel Xeon 3.4D

Cleaning up and organizing old hardware I found a pair of Xeon 3.4D CPUs I inherited from somewhere. These provided the impetus to (finally) upgrade my old server for our family network. It has done a great job for a l-o-n-g time. An old P3 system based on a Tyan Tiger 100t with dual P3 1000s...

Antec Basiq 500w PSU, $9.99 shipped

I just think this is SO worth the risk. In for 2. If they work what a great find OCN, if they don't not a great loss. I have to wonder what constitutes refurbishing a power supply though...

IT'S BACK 24" Soyo LCD for $299. @ Office Max is back

I bought this 3 weeks ago or so and haven't had any issues. It does seem a good bit warmer than the 1905fp it was to replace, but not so much as to be considered a problem. I wound up doing dual monitors with the 1905fp and the difference in brightness of the two monitors is dramatic. Whites...

dazed and confused

from that reply, I'm taking it I need to subnet them differently? OK. But to answer your question, yes. Still wondering why all network entities connect through the device but cannot contact the device itself...

dazed and confused

:o I have a windows sbs 2003 machine with 2 NICs, one pointed at the LAN, one pointed at the Netopia router (WAN). Everyone on the LAN can get to the internet, no one on the LAN can reach the Netopia. All cards are on the same subnet as is the server. The server is directly connected to the...

danger to equipment from thunderstorms using a TV tuner card

Thanks guys for the replies. Pretty good deal on that 650 UPS. Might oughta post it in Hot Deals too. Peter, my setup doesn't depend on surge protectors, I just happen to have APC power surge protectors in front of the UPS'. Mostly for the insurance you accurately describe. I suppose there is...

danger to equipment from thunderstorms using a TV tuner card

I have a fairly large home network that we use for the usual reasons with the added feature it doubles as a lab for researching and testing Microsoft networking solutions such as server products, Exchange, ISA server, VPN, and a box to access various client's networks for maintenance and...

Not bad for Atlanta residents - Atlanta Journal-Constitution, $1.25 per week (new subscribers only)

Good deal considering the Sunday paper alone is 2.00 a week. They appear to have honored it in Macon for me, some 70 miles south. I escaped the Atlanta traffic around 5 or 6 years ago but still like reading the news to remind myself exactly why I left

5 14-piece Sabatier knife sets + 10 potholders for $45 shipped @ Amazon

These sets have been around for 2 years that I know of and can be found in discount stores like Tuesday Morning regularly. How a quality knife maker came to allow their good name to be applied to such a poor quality knife is beyond me. They do not hold an edge nor sharpen up as one would expect...

Super deal $17 shipped for a nice case

If these are Nikao cases they should be all right. I bought some Nikaos on Newegg (when they used to have them in stock) as refurbs for cheap and was very pleased with them in all regards. I got them all without power supplies, but the looks, layouts, rounded edges and quality of materials were...
