Exactly. My laptop idles at nothing, even with DreamScene running. Which is cool. And with 4GB memory, it loads as much as it can into memory so that it doesn't have to read it from your disk(s)...

I'd try it .05v higher than MFR spec, maybe even .1v higher as if you have a full bank of four then it'll sponge all that with vdroop anyway!

Yes, but this would be countered by the larger 64-bit processes. Until you cross 6GB (as you have to do matched pairs), I'd say stick with 32-bit.

When you install you can get it to put everything in 'Windows.OLD' folder but don't format it...

No, it's a complete rebuild for 32-bit to 64-bit systems.

Never had it on any ATI card, bar the 4870x2 which I put in my machine before ATI had released a driver. They released a driver, and the fail went away. Have you got a dodgy memory stick or motherboard? It really suprises me that you STILL get those issues. Do you mess with it at all? Or...

Yes, mount it.

There's nothing much wrong with WDDM - it's actually a much more efficient way of addressing the cards than the outgoing XPDM. The Display Driver not responding + bluescreen was an nVidia issue that they were moaned at time and time again but never did anything about it - they now seem to have...

However, to answer the original question, the maximum amount of RAM in 32-bit Windows XP varies from machine to machine. It's not worth putting any more than 4GB in sticks in it, but it will use as much as possible and that varies depending on the amount of memory that is in use on other hardware.

I see Bullshit. I can get 8GB ram running at stock (and overclocked) speeds in any 32-bit or 64-bit system. The OS just decides how much of that it can see. The operating system has NO effect on RAM clock speeds. Your clock speeds are likely to have been reduced due to undervoltaging as 4...

They are just brilliant screens - with shiteloads of inputs...

Had both 2708wfp and 2709wfp, both are absolutely fine for gaming...

What do people reckon? Do it? Or wait for games that can challenge just one of them and then buy it's replacement? Will be running a 27" Dell monitor at 1920x1200... Then when I get the new gaff it'll be running a 1080p projector, so AA/AF will need to be up to scratch.

That's a bit expensive TBH mate... Looks well looked after though so may call that money - just I know my old gaffer's GTi (57 plate, White, unmarked) is worth about £15k... And personally I'd pick the warranty! But then again, I haven't looked at what the Mk4 'R' is fetching...

Since it's essentially a computer and very easy to make a wire for VGA monitors...

And in a 7ft living room. I'm sorry, nice as the kit is you seem to be compensating... I got a top of the range 32" screen as it's a reasonable size for the room it's in. You've got a room that looks smaller than my living room, and the TV dwarfs it.

They aren't all the same size. ATX size is a standard, but many PSUs are longer as manufacturers take advantage of the extra room afforded by many cases. Only smaller wattage PSUs tend to be standard ATX size.

DR plan... Ha! You're kidding right? Nah, my leaving present was a script that shut down the entire room gracefully over 3 minutes...

TBH I don't think it's a load of s**t - I just think it's an expensive way of teaching common sense...

We've got that on the ground floor! :D

Server room is planned out fine, it's the planning of where the server room is that doesn't appear to be done! That thought did cross my mind though as I was stood with a fluorescent light diffuser held up to one of the big leaks chanelling it into a bin... :clown:

The building air con lives above the server room, and the landlord noticed the system was leaking (didn't think to look where), just kept topping it up! Next thing, drips this morning and then 30l of water cascades down the wall and under the false floor... Still managed my beer and burger...

Yay! Mine's filling up with water! Have fun, I may speak to you all later! Lol! :D

I know - sorry! My bad! Wrong quote button.

You don't mention how many terminals you have for them to access from. That'll be the decider for you.

Nobody mentioned what I drive - yes I used to have a 1.5 dCi. You know what, it was the best car in the world! It handled like a 182 (yeah, I had one of those you presumptuous t**t) and did nearly 70 to the gallon EVERYWHERE. That's been changed now, tomorrow I decide whether I want a Scirocco...

True - yes. In an environment where you have standalone devices talking to SQL instances I know you need device CALs for that. Although I'm not sure but do they actually do SQL User CALs? Again, not something I'm sure on as we've got enough database connections to warrant Processor licences...

Not 100% on the rest of the Microsoft suite of licences but a User CAL is just that - for A user, not a concurrent connection, so as per Windows Server 2008 your TS CAL is assigned to a user, and has to be revoked manually or expire to become available again in the pool. I'm more a TS...

You either need user CALs or device CALs, not both - common misconception. We're licenced by devices, and have to have a licence for every network device. Those who licence by user, need to have a licence for every user in Active Directory. Depends on your working model - if for example you...

Shut the f**k up, I am not your 'pal' and indeed DO know what I'm talking about. If I don't know, I'll ask. It's a courtesy I pay people, called not f**king them about. You are a pub expert who appears to have set up shop. Microsoft DO NOT release Beta products on their update sites...
