Dislike both AMD laptop processors and HP laptops, but it seems reasonable enough!

Because W7 is only around the corner now, so the companies who were contemplating it are postponing to see what W7 brings to the table. Also consider user training. Their current userbase is familiar with XP. Why would they incur costs in training ALL of their staff (not just support) on the new...

Probably an utter c**k. Thank god I've moved out from the area, I'd have to embarrass him otherwise.

I'm with DK on this - I've got the 2300 and aside from a couple of smaller changes the big one is it's got a blue front to match their new kit. Very impressed with it, the sub is very clear and has a large amount of depth, and the connectivity is great. 3x HDMI inputs, so you just feed your...

Cheap Sonys are a con... They're terrible machines. The 1525 is a good machine, as is the Vostro 1510 - although the slightly more expensive 1310 fits nicely inbetween the NC10's size and the 15.4" laptops...

High five.

Very true if you can 'forget' how to work XP. The issue is with people who assume it's just a 'pretty' XP, not a complete change of layout. Remember all the fuss from Windows 3.1/3.11fW moving to Windows 95? If you knew how to work 3.1/3.11fW then you had no idea where anything was in Windows...

Thankyouplease, my friend. All the people who are high up where I'm leaving are there because they suck dick. I've told them that, that's why I feel it best I leave before they ask me to!

Got to be 2003... 2000 AD is soooo yesterday...

HTC Touch is good, but the Touch Pro is infinitely better.

SCSI terminator. Had the same issue with a couple of U320 RAID arrays, puzzled us no end. Event viewer showed the SCSI bus resetting regularly. Fixed it by swapping the £5 terminator.

Nope, it does vary massively. If I were to put a sensible head on, VMware is excellent for DCs as they are required to be massively redundant, but not particularly powerful - which unfortunately redundant boxes tend to come as powerful boxes also, which is a massive waste of processing power!

I'd stick a gig in it out of habit, but other than that, yes, our dual 2.33GHz Quads in each of our DCs are completely wasted. They run permanently at 1% load.

New job, new house, new bird... All change! :clown:

Yup, make sure it's got redundant everything and start from there...

What do you ask these servers to do though? You can't run a 500GB database on one of them - that'd make it shudder and die also. In fact, most machines that will run Vista just fine wouldn't run a 500GB database with any degree of performance. It's all down to what you want the hardware to...

Tell her to take her head out of her (or your) anus then. I installed it on a Samsung Netbook running Intel's Atom (1.6GHz single core) and 945GM chipset and you know what? It works. Fine. Even using Aero/Glass. You know why? Because I put enough memory in it. You wouldn't run SQL on a...

http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx?c=uk&cs=ukbsdt1&id=desktop-vostro-220st&l=en&s=bsd Oooo, look. One with a warranty.

I got a Panasonic TX32LZD85, and they also do a 37" version - very impressed with it, but the best price I can see anywhere is 700-odd notes...

Care to elaborate? We use a HP 1/8 G2 Autoloader (920) and it's the dog's. Transfer rate is a shade over 2GB/min, does everything we need of it...

HP DL360 G5 here - x4. Lord knows what I'll find at the new gaff!

What CPU? What gains you after?

Sony MDR-DS6000? It's what I'm looking at getting...

Teufel speakers: http://www.teufel.eu/Homecinema/Theater-5-Hybrid.cfm Onkyo 906 AV Receiver: http://www.richersounds.com/showproduct.php?cda=showproduct&pid=ONKY-TXNR906-BLK (Available cheaper with some good shopping!) Will absolutely blow you away. Seen and used Teufel before - it's...

Erm. Ok. Obviously EVERYBODY would be better off building their own. Never mind that a dell with a huge warranty is cheaper than one you built yourself, if you're just using it for browsing the net and typing crap up.

Dell Studio 1737, Sony Vaio T1XP and Samsung NC10. As a netbook, the Samsung rules, but the Sony is still more usable. Love my Studio though, massively powerful, massive, but very good.

100meg internet with a hole in the firewall. :dapprove: Dunno what I'm gonna find at the new gaff!

23, pay £230 for a 1.5dCi on extremely high mileage w/4yrs NCB. Pay £800 for an Audi S2 on low mileage with no NCB...

I'd get VMware Server. It's cheaper (free) and offers similar functionality, just a bit more complicated IMO. A lot of job advertisements have VMware on their wishlists, but they don't usually mean the toys - they want ESX experience. For that you'll want to try bodge it onto a laptop...

Citrix What? Novell What?
