Hey, I'm having a problem with a Windows XP client i've recently setup. The file transfer rate to files stored on a Windows Server 2003 file server is appauling (Note: The same computer running Windows 7 RC1 has no problems, so must be something to do with the config). The client is...

;) At home:

I found these very expensive for what they are. If you are prepared to build one yourself you might as well - its a hell of alot cheaper.

It would not cost a huge amount (The cost really comes from how many drives/capacity you want to install). I'm currently about to build one myself and the setup without any drives costs ~£170. Most of the expense comes from the server case i'm install it into (4U server case with 6x 5.25" drive...

I think I might have fixed it (Well from my tests so far, the content plays smoothly). I altered the registry as described in: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948066 "How to use the throttling mechanism to control network performance in Windows Vista" From the default value of 10 to...

VMWare ESXi is a bare metal hypervisor so the performance impact is extremely minimal. What do you recommend to stream the media (The streaming services in Win2003 are balls). Also i'd prefer not to have to copy them all over as they are neally 15GB a peice.

Hey, I have some 1080p content (Around 9000kbps - x264/H.264) on my server (Windows Server 2003) and the server has a gigabit ethernet card (But it only runs at 100mbps due to my crappy router - plan to upgrade to a gigabit switch for the wired computers). I'm trying to play the files on...

Hey, Basically I have a old computer that I currently use as my own personal server at home (Serves 4 PCs) that is used for a range of tasks (File sharing, automated backups, DHCP server, etc.). Unfortuently (part due to my fault of not putting it on a surge protected power strip) a power...

Well I left it overnight and when I came back in the morning it booted up fine... Rather strange.

I removed the CPU fan and CPU but still nothing... (Now the mobo has nothing installed in it apart from power). I would at least expect the mobo to bleep to inform me that I have not got any components installed. Anyone else think it might be a mobo problem now? If I plug in the...

Hey, I was in a middle of a game (World of Warcraft) and my screen suddenly went black and my monitor reported no signal. So I went ahead and pressed the reset button on my PC... nothing happened. With this failing I went ahead and held down the power button and my PC turned off. On attempting...

Hey, My old hard drive was failing so I installed a new hard drive and installed windows on that. I copied all my files I needed from the old hard drive to the new one and removed the old drive. Now with the old drive removed it won't boot. Just says: "Reboot and select proper boot device...

Its an Award BIOS.

Now getting two short bleeps on boot followed by the following message: Reboot and Select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key

Hey, My computer suddenly froze with the following message: If you click okay you are just left with a blank desktop and nothing works (Not even ctrl+alt+del). Each time I start up the computer it lasts for about 15 mins before showing the same error again. Is something wrong with...

Won't login using that. Says the service is unavailable.

What version do you recommend I try?

I contacted them and got some snotty response from them saying we are not aware of any incompatibility issues.
