You laugh, but that was what was done in this company prior to my arrival... We swapped it for a 32TB Direct Attached U320 SCSI array and a DL160 G5 head unit running disk-to-disk backups and a HP StorageWorks 920 LTO-3 weekly backup system, using Backup Exec...

www.vmware.com/go/getesxi/ Quote: "VMware ESXi is Free!" Find me something cheaper than that! Plus cheapo servers don't tend to have space to fit 3 terabytes in...

And the post reply button is stuck! Urm. Does the Firewall configuration not let you open it?

No, you're right. And pink screen = BSOD. Lol. Did that to one of ours messing with the unsupported mode!

It's not that bad, but our disks for the EVA (of which we buy 4 at a time!) are around £800 for a 300GB 15k drive. As opposed to the 1TB drives for our U320/SATA array, which are a hugely expensive £75 each!

Because the intention of the project that I ran wasn't to create a high availability environment (we're talking Voice Recording archives here, it's annoying if it breaks but the world doesn't end) it was to reduce annual costs by £10,550, using an initial outlay of £6,900. So obviously, VMware...

HDR-SR10/11/12 from Sony can do it in short bursts?

Never tried to use VMware Converter on a cluster though - so I don't know the implications of doing that!!

Yes, very easily. You need to buy VMware Converter or do it in two stages though - the free version of converter only allows you to go from Physical Machine state to VMware Server/Workstation, before going from VMware Server/Workstation to Virtual Infrastructure. Did it for one of our live...

I've got about 20 ESXi hosts and 2 VMotion-capable ESX hosts on a SAN, but I've not got round to configuring the latter yet! What you want to know?

I'd also avoid buying from eBay unless it's a branded stick. A lot of stuff that comes from there is made using extremely cheap chips which kills performance...

PC6400 is the best to go for IMHO - it's only a smidge more than 5400, faster 9 times out of 10, and is more than anyone needs for anything up to a Q6600 processor...

Is it a Sky+ box? As there is a known issue with Thomson Sky+ and HD boxes with the power supplies failing and causing massive signal degradation.

Won't be installed. All laptops from Dell which have the card come with a Vodafone SIM card ready for activation. Entirely possible that you can get a WWAN card for it though as it's loosely based on the XPS M1530 (of which I have one!) and that has a slot for WWAN, WLAN and UWB.

Ctrl+Tab as has been suggested. Same for closing tabs - Ctrl+F4 (instead of Alt+F4) closes documents in applications, and tabs in IE as opposed to the whole app.

Well you're obviously extremely lucky: Dell PowerEdge 1650 with a power supply that decided it didn't like life.

If it was a cheapy it has a chance that it's ruined the lot, but the more expensive ones tend to just die internally without setting the rest of the computer off...

Laptop mouse pad, you're catching it with the palm of your hand. I manage it sometimes and it's hugely frustrating at times. The nipples are the worst!

Your GPU is likely your bottleneck at the moment mate...

Yahoo and Hotmail both need upgrading to allow you to use full mail clients wih them.

Dell (and other brands) use adapters similar to this to make it easier to pull the disk out and put it back without bending the pins, but underneath they're just normal ATA drives. 1.8" HDDs are an absolute sow though, as you can get ZIF ones, 44-pin, allsorts. And they're massively expensive...

Got one on order, have had for months. Due end of this month, looking forward to getting to grips with it. Looks awesome, best looking WM6.1 phone.

OSX is Ghey. If you're going to do it, do it properly.

I'll take the laptops. Can do you cert for data destruction and for safe disposal.

Yeah, bit ghey. I got the real one, with the nVidia graphics, BD-RE, 320GB drive, 1GB FCM, 5520 Mobile Broadband, 4965AGN WiFi, both the 6-cell and 9-cell batteries, 4GB RAM, 2.6GHz Processor and the 1920x1200 screen. :) And proper support. Allegedly.

It's not eSATA. The port you refer to is actually a power socket for the Dell external drives: http://support.euro.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/latd800/sm_en/pinouts.htm#1004737 But the photo you posted is indeed an eSATA adapter. But that's not on the Dell Studio 15.

But you can install it on a USB stick and use it :rasp: And then carry on using it because you're fed up of having to hunt for everything you need to be able to work normally...

What's wrong with 'for a picture of your baps'? Or is that not the way in your office?

Windows.
