SATA 3Gbps vs 6Gbps

Smirkna — Thu, 10 May 2012 12:11:23 UTC

so i just ordered a ocz octane 128gb ssd mainly for games and maybe OS as my crucial m4 64gb is a bit small. thing i noticed after i placed my order is that it was the sata 3gbps version of the 128gb disk i got and not the 6gbps

now the question i have is will i hate myself forever if i stick to this compared to let's say a ocz agility 3 6gbps disk (as they are priced about the same here) or won't it matter much for gaming?

The following plug in has crashed

Madgedull — Thu, 03 May 2012 07:40:18 UTC

So the last 2 days every time I have opened facebook and a couple of other web pages i get 2 messages across the top of the page saying

The following plug in has crashed - facebook desktop
The following plug in has crashed - Shockwave flash

Oh and when I just opened hotmail got the following message

The following plug in has crashed - Silverlight plug in

I dont get these crashes when using internet explorer, only on google chrome.

I wondered if anyone knew how I can fix this.

Thanks

Rackmount server cases

boli — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 09:35:14 UTC

I'm looking to expand my server and decided to do a rackmount but to be fair I'm a bit out of my depth. Does anyone know of a good site/place to get some empty rackmount cases, or at least the barebones of one; any advice would be helpful here.

I'm looking into getting one or two computers in a cluster with the ability to just plug in new hard drives as and when I need them and thinking of running two machines rather than one so I can separate the .cron tasks onto one machine such as regular backups of important information and just maximise the other as a file server (say possible 24 storage HDs which I can add individually as needed).

I know a fair bit about servers - my current however is running close to the bone as far as upgradability is concerned; I'm running 6 physcial hard drives in the machine and have space for only one more. I could potentialy start upgrading the 1TB to a 3TB and the 2TBs to 3TBs but as you can guess transfering all of those files aroudn is going to cause no-end of problems. Whilst I could get another SATA card in it the case itself simply does not have the physcial room.

Not only that the 8 port switch I have is not big enough (lookign for 12-16); and with this amount of power I'll need needing a surge protector is a must and maybe a UPS (if cheap enough)

So.... in short: anyone know a lot about building a rackmount and can give me some advice? ideally I'm looking for a good cheap place to get old (and empty) rackmount cases/cabinets.

Techies of Xanadu, replay network data to VM?

Kalbuir — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 09:32:40 UTC

Hello everyone,
I am working on a development project where I have roughly 2 min to process data, problem is its a complicated procedure and I have 2 min every day. I have about 30 days left to process this data, the data comes over a VPN connection and IS encrypted.

So you see my problem :P

I was considering to capture the data coming into the VM and simply replay it during the debug / build process. However because the VPN client is IN the VM this poses a problem. Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? Does anyone know a software lib or piece of software that can not only capture network traffic but also replay it. I mean I can try work around the VPN once I have that setup.

Deceneu — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 12:32:30 UTC

Probably doesnt deserve a new thread,and i think i already know the answer,but cant hurt to ask !

Will SLI work in fullscreen window?Like lets say Rift runs on one screen with something else on the second screen.i need to make a decision fast ,have a guy selling a 480 pretty cheap,and i need to know if sli works this way .

GeForce GTX 680

Lonyn — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 10:07:01 UTC

You’ve known it was coming, but you are not prepared. Until now you’ve known it only as "Kepler,” but after today you’ll know it as the GeForce GTX 680—the fastest and most efficient GPU that Nvidia has ever built, and one of the sexiest we’ve ever laid eyes upon. (There’s also the matter of their new 600m series of mobile GPUs that are capable of running games like Battlefield 3 smoothly off an slim, 9lb laptop with eight hours of battery life, but that’s a whole other story to come shortly.)

So let’s get right down to it.

First things first, here’s the specs on the GeForce GTX 680. I hope you’ve got an extra set of pants available.

Yes, that’s 1536 CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) cores, up from 512 on the GTX 580. I believe that is what we can officially deem, "massively multicore.” With Nvidia’s new Kepler architecture, each processor contains up to 192 CUDA Cores, six times the number of cores as Nvidia’s previous "Fermi” architecture. What does that mean? You get twice the performance per watt. As you can see above, the 680 also achieves memory speeds up to 6 Gbps, which according to Nvidia, is officially the highest speed of any GPU in history. You’d think they’d be making a bigger deal about that.

Nvidia also claims it’s the world’s fastest GPU, one that trumps the AMD Radeon HD7970 in terms of performance, perf per watt and especially in DX11 tessellation where Nvidia claims to be 4x better than AMD.

However, while the specs and stats are indeed impressive, just how powerful is it in real world terms? I’ll give you an example. At GDC 2011, Epic Games unveiled their now famous "Samaritan” tech demo. At the time it was running on three GTX 580 GPUs. At GDC 2012, they ran the exact same demo on just ONE GTX 680, and I saw it with my own eyes.

Moreover, thanks to high efficiency heat piping, improved airflow and sound dampening materials used in the GPU fan, it’s also the coolest and quietest high end GPU Nvidia has ever produced. Nvidia claims that not only is it quieter, but the sound that the card does make is more "pleasing” to the ears. I’m not sure how they came to that conclusion, but I’ll allow it. We’ve heard it in action (or struggled to) and felt the heat (or lack thereof) ourselves. They’re not lying. There’s no mad science behind how they’ve made this thing so cool and quiet, it’s simply better engineering. Impressive is an understatement.

There gets a point when buying a longer wire seems like a crude option, so...

Does anyone have much experience with the AV adaptors that turns your houses mains power circuit into a network? Viable for gaming if you get a decent enough quality product?

Same question for wireless, I don't trust the little Segam router we got from sky, the connection always seemed intermittent downstairs when my laptop was alive.

Any suggests or feedback of the two systems would be appreciated.

new rig

Atul — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 00:48:48 UTC

alright, im thinking of treating myself to a new rig and i'd like your input into general ideas as well as specific modules that i should get.
generally, i have a budget, but its not that important as im probably gonna wait a while till the hdd prices come back to a normal range before i buy it anyways.

should haves:
i7, if at all possible with the 2011 socket, but thats probably too expensive
a ssd for the main drive
i will always prefer compatibility over pure power
a nvidia graphics card (unless smbdy can really convince otherwise)
good and quiet cooling

for a starting point, i built following system on a website, although thats way out of my range atm

ASUS P67 Sabertooth
8GB 1600 CL9 CORSAIR Vengeance
i7 2600/3,4 ghz
GF 560Ti, 2GB
120 GB OCZ Vertex 3
and then probably the EcoGreen F4 or the WD Caviar Green

your input is welcome!

edit: oh and also, if anybody can find a laptop that comes even close to a performance like the above one thats also not much more expensive, be my guest!

My husband has installed eq1 on my PC, but when he tried to play he got ther following error message

The program cant start because d3dx9_30.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

I wondered if anyone had any ideas how this can be fixed, or whether he really has to reinstall the game.

Need some help.

Headset recommendation?

Durnkrag — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 21:23:07 UTC

Rift Parser

Calmethar Hvabehar — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 09:47:58 UTC

I'm a happy user of the Rift Parser and the site in general, so first of all a big thanks for all the hard work you're all doing in that regard.

I've been using the parser since the beginning of Rift, but have never used any kind of triggers so far. Now I've started playing around with those as well a bit, and from the user manual it seems it should be working perfectly, but I must've missed some kind of detail because none of any kind of my triggers are working. I got auto logging on, live parser running, but nothing is going on.

Anyone got an idea of what, probably obvious thing, I've missed?

xanadu parser java error @mabs

hagar — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 02:59:54 UTC

You left a comment at the end of the parser manual that any problems could be directed to you here.

I downloaded the xanadu parser. I tried running it from a folder outside rift and even installed into my rift directory.

I am running windows 7 64 bit.
I have installed java from sun micro systems to see if this would overcome any issues within the programme directories.

and yet, I keep getting the same java error.

I can it is a memory allocation issue. I have 300 gig spare on most of my drives, so hard drives space shouldnt be an issue.

im guessing I need to configure this programme somehow to allocate its own space to work in.

either way im at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've used it with the Rift parser and it's blazing fast. I'm not too sure if the command prompt is throwing out any errors (it's all jibberish to me lol). Anyways, just wanted to give you guys a heads up FYI, I also had to rename the jre7 folder to jre6 in order to run the parser. I put a copy of the Java folder in the parser's folder.

The last couple of days whenever I have switched on my laptop I am getting an error message which is titled EgisUpdate, and the narrative below says- Programm operation error. Please restart the computer and try again.

I have restarted but this comes up again. Anyone have any ideas what this is and if I can carry on ignoring it :)

EQ2 UI - Removing scrollbars from examine window.

Alkandr — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 11:30:47 UTC

Anyone familiar with XML or (even better) UI modding for eq2?
What I want to do is make examine window show full item effect description, extending the examine window all the way down to the bottom of my screen before scrollbar appears.

In the screenshot first 3 items show how it looks now, last one shows how I want it to work (don't mind lack of window borders etc, just copied the pic from our DB. All I want is a looong description)

http://www.xanadu-community.com/sfh/4473/eq2ui_examine.xml is the file which describes how all examine windows work (I think >.<)
Is it possible to do?
