I'm the same way - every motherboard I've purchased in the last 7 years supports RAID in some form or another, but I don't use it. What I find truly strange is that RAID drivers are almost always provided on floppy disks instead of being included on the motherboard's CD-ROM. I haven't had a floppy drive in my systems for a number of years...

Well, if my hard disk conks out, I simply have to buy a new one and restore all project data from my backup hard disk. I think, a RAID system only has to guarantee an absoluteley uninterrupted service - normally required at web/file servers. But this doesn't supersede or even matches my backup necessities. So, I personally never used a RAID system and actually never missed it, too. ... Hope, I'm not on the wrong track!

When you buy "cheapo" parts, you get questionable reliability.

I wasn't recommending a killer video card - I was recommending that if he intends to move to Vista, he should get a DX-10 capable card. I have a 8800gtx, but that's still above $500. nVidia recently announced much less capable (yet DX-10-comaptible) cards. They're supposed to be significantly cheaper but I haven't checked them out yet.

I have change 3 mobos in the last 6 months. I had a gigabyte ds4, a dfi 975X/G and now a DFI RD600.
What I say is that since you're not an overclocker or a gamer either u buy a gigabyte ds3(120$) or an Asus Commando(220$) it's the same.
Nvidia 8500GT(dx10) cost about 140$ and 8600GTS around 200$.
Now about RAID.
Raid Drivers are always in floppy disk but I use nlite to intergrate them into the Windows XP cd. So I don't need floppy disk for raid then I install Windows.

Hi
Can any one tell how to configure a Switch for
1.LAN connection without Internet connection.
2.LAN connection with Internet connection.
Thank u

Normal home/small office switches don't have any configuration, just plug in all the cables and it works.

You have to follow these instructions precisely:
1) Get a 35-foot CAT-5e cable rated for outside use, and make 7 coils between 7 and 8 inches in diameter, twisting the wire three times before it completes a coil. Lay the coiled wire on the desk and place something heavy on it to keep the coils from uncoiling.
2) Get four standard 7-inch metal butter knives, and tape them together so that when laid flat on the desk, the handles alternate between pointing up and down. Some people claim that if the handle is down on the left side, you get a better signal, but nobody's been able to prove it to my satisfaction.
3) Use 2-inch wide aluminum tape to connect the knifes together at both ends (be careful not to let the tape at one end touch the tape at the other end.
4) Solder a six-inch piece of 16-gauge wire on the handles of both the outermost knives.
5) Wrap the knife assembly in electrical tape so that the only thing exposed is the two pieces of wire.
6) Take the knife assembly and carefully tape the wire as tightly as possible to the coiled cat-5 cable. The tape will also server to keep the cat-5 coiled up.
7) Take one end of the cat5 and plug it into your switch. Plug the other end into your computer.
8) Your your internet connection. If you get a net connection that you don't want, unplug the cat5 from your computer and plug it into another available port on your switch. (that's why they call a switch a "switch").
If you're still having problems, google is your friend.

I need to connect my coputers to the switch, and am confused about the cable end structure:
Shall i use both end straigh cable, or both end crossover cable, or one end cross(switch) and the other straight(computer).
Please tell and emphasise.
Best Regards.
Scorpion.

strait
crossover cables are only used to connect two PCs directly to each other.

Straight. Just a plain cable that matches your network (e.g. CAT-5e).
And there is only ONE type of crossover cable. crossing over twice would lead you back to a normal cable, just with more interference.
In addition to the other answer:
You might also use a crossover cable to connect two switches if neither of them has an uplink port.

Sebastian

Straight cable can be problematic because you only have so much room behind your computer. This means the cable can only be so long. I would get curvy cable.

No, straight cables are the way to go. The bits cannot take the high-speed curving and get all dizzy and confused.

With the correct bit throttling diode, that's not a problem. The bits with then recognize and slow down for turns so they don't jump from wire-to-wire (this is the primary cause of bandwidth collisions).

Hi,
I want to map a USB device that is accessible over a serial port to another port because the asigned port is not available in the configuration of the application (yes, blame the application developer!).
All the lower numbers are marked "(used)", but in the Device Manager I can't see what device/component uses this port number. I have enabled 'Show hidden devices' but it is still not there.
How can I see what device/component is using the port? I need just some information (driver name, component name ...) to maybe remember what I installed that could create this problem.
Thanks for your help in advance

I'd try using a product by Lavalys called Everest. It seems to tell you a lot more than you might be able to find on your own. I always have a copy handy (engineers license).

Hi all,
I want to ask if anyone knows how to know a null modem cable according to the resistance or voltage of its pins?!!
Regards,
|
|
|
|

A Null-Modem-Cable is a normal serial cable (usually RS-232 to RS-232) with a certain pin-to-pin mapping.
If you need one, and have a serial cable you can easily access, you could make it yourself.
I have some trouble understanding what you are trying to achieve. Could you explain what you are trying to do?
Cheers,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,
Thanks for your reply. I mean if I have a cable, how to check if it is a null modem cable or not because the problem is I have asked a saler in a computer shop to give me a null modem cable and he did gave me a cable but when I tried to communicate two DCE devices it didn't work!! So is there a way to check the cable according to the resistance/voltage between pins from both ends?
Regards,
|
|
|
|

the pins are connected differently. Google up the pinout/wiring diagrams and use a multimeter to check connectivity.
