is there any reason why you need a new mobo? does it not have a AGP or pci-e slot? if it does you can just get a card an a monitor!!!!

[pOrk]

It doesn't have a slot for a video card, its built in = WEAK. Atleast thats what my brother told me, he is the computer guy not me?

And I don't know what kind of ram, thats why I asked you :-P

[UnderPSI]

My network sucks!

[Myles]

I would like to order a OC-3 line. Hook me up with a dual opteron mobo, some 2 gig ram sticks, DDR2 of course. 4U rack mount case with a 8 drive hot swap array in the front. Need 8 terabyte drives, sata 3.0. oh and the best opterons you have available to you.

[Flicktitty]

:goof :confused would you like fries with that?

[Myles]

OC-3 = Optical carrier line. the 3 stands for the level of it. OC-3 is 155.52 Mbit/s. That is what we call fast.

Opterons are AMDs (cpu maker) high end server/multimedia workstation chip. Setting them up in a dual format is fast.

4U rack mount case is refering to the ammount of space the case takes up in a rack.


you know what i give up.

You can install a PCI video card. Depending on how your motherboard works you can either get a single head card and use both the onboard and PCI for dual monitors or get a dual head card and disable the onboard video. PCI video cards are slow, so don't expect to play any 3D intense video games, but it would work just fine for your everyday use.

Radeon 9250 PCI Dual Head Card (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814103167) $65.99 or $45.99 after rebate. Add any monitor you want and voila dual monitors for much less than half the cost of buying a new motherboard, video card and monitor. Don't forget that when installing a new motherboard you will have to do a windows repair 99% of the time, unless you get one with the same chipset as your existing motherboard and even then it's on a case-by-case basis. If the onboard card works in conjunction with this card you could even run triple screens if you wanted.

[Myles]

well, actually, if you could pull your prices for the dual board and 2 opterons, and if they are good enough, i might come by and grab them a little down the road. But thats your choice, i wont make you do any work.

[animal]

3.5? wtf for? a floppy or a card reader?

No dig on you, but this is a typical MPC store response to many of my computer questions.

What I want is for a HDD like I said:

Like this one:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817185006

I have one for a 2.5" laptop drive, I want one for 3.5 standard hard drives... must support IDE AND SATA interface hard disks.

You'll have to talk to the telephone company about getting a fiber line run to your house for OC-3. Of course you should know all Dual Opteron server boards will use registered ECC DDR2. You'll have a hard time finding a 4U chassis with only 8 hot swap bays, really you should be fine with a 2U chassis with 9 hot swap bays. I'd recommend going with SAS instead of SATA 3.0 for the caliber of system you're looking to do. You say you want "8 terabyte drives" does that mean you want 8 terabytes of storage or 8 1 terabyte drives? This can greatly change the equation since I assume you'll be running a RAID array and if you want to run a mirror or RAID-5(rcommended) you won't get 8 1 terabytes of space on 8 terabyte drives. :thumbsup :durr :loser

[xxsn0blindxx]

Oh and to answer the original question, yes I'm bored at work too :D

Actually im gonig to wait for verizon to get their fiber lines for home users to wisconsin. And no i have found several 4u chassis that have 9 hot swap bays (i was just hitting numbers) SATA will be fine in a stripped setup. And yes 8 1 terabyte drives. I generally wasnt looking for 8 tb total. In theroy i dont even need that much space. I am building a machine generally to do my rendering only. And i just realized that they only use registered ddr 400, so my original claim for ddr2 was pointless.

Oh, you were being serious LOL? I wouldn't stripe that many drives its just asking for a disaster, you have to figure the chance of failure multiplies with each drive added. I'm unsure if there are actually any terabyte drives available right now. 750GB is the largest that Seagate offers and personally I wouldn't use any other brand. 12 750GB drives in a RAID 5 will give you 8.2 terabytes total capacity and if a drive fails you can replace it without suffering data loss.

I'm assuming video rendering? That's still mad crazy overkill.

[Myles]

I'm assuming video rendering? That's still mad crazy overkill.

yes video rendering, as i said before i wouldnt use that many drives. I wasnt being serious in the original post, only serious thing would have been the main board and the proc. But its not overkill, when you have to render a full DVD it takes awhile. Network rendering makes my life easier.

[pOrk]

How do I know if that will work with my PC? I do an ass load of photo editing and the 19" monitor is just not cutting it anymore. 3 would be great, but 2 I think will more more then enough for now.

[1quickgtp]

pci, is slow as shit as he said above, most mobo from big box manufacturers do NOT support onboard with pci card running dual monitor, just a heads up!!!

I would get that card that he posted, and run that in dual monitor vs pci and onboard!

btw I can get that card for around 66-68 ( yes it more than 65 ) but then you dont have to pay shipping :)

[pOrk]

^ But that will work on my computer for sure?

[xxsn0blindxx]

Yeah that will definitely work. just don't plan on playing games and you'll be fine. Prepare to be unable to ever use a single monitor system again. I have been running duals for like 5 years and I have them at work now too. It's weird using other people's computers.

Ahh, gotcha. We used to do a lot of prosumer level video editing systems at my old work using the MAtrox RT/RTX series cards. The place I work now builds DVR systems for security companies. Those are running dual xeons with up to 4 8-port capture cards recording non-stop.

yeah, if i was made out of cash money i would go with a nice intel based server. But unfortuantly im broke, so AMD it is.

I am thinking about upgrading a few things on my computer soon.

Do you sell QNX?

Great, I def. want to get one then. Just need to figure out how to install it then.

Where can I get a decent 19" LCD for not too much moola? Thanks for the help guys, its much appreciated as i am dumb when it comes to computer.

[xxsn0blindxx]

Installation is super simple, you just pop the cover open, remove one of the dummy plates and slide the card in the empty slot and screw it in. Turn the computer on and when it gets into windows run the CD that comes with the card. Or if you want best performance go to the chipset manufacturer's website and download the latest drivers. Once the computer restarts if it isn't automatically setup for the dual screens then you go into display properties where you will will see 2 screens, the 2nd will be grayed out, just click the check box to extend the display to the second monitor and then set the resolution for that screen and click apply.

Best deals for monitors are the sunday ads if you don't mind doing rebates. Otherwise check Newegg.com

if your not comfortable pork I can do it here tomorrow for free. also, I can get you a 19" for 200 WITH a 3 year warrenty :)

[badass88gt]

How much for 1GB, 240-Pin, SDRAM DDR2 533 (PC2 4200) Desktop Memory? I'd like a single 1 gig stick, I currently have a 1 gig and a 512 in there, has 2 empty slots.

[1quickgtp]

well run it in dual channel, if your board supports it. run then in alternates

like this

1gig, 512, 1gig, 512

1gig stick runs for 154, I can do 104 for ya

[pOrk]

^ what brand? Sounds like a deal to me. What time should I stop in? I don't think I will be around tomorrow morning, but I guess i could if I need to. Let me know, where are you located too?

[pOrk]

So are you still at work? I'd like to stop in and pick up that card

[pOrk]

I only see one monitor output on that video card too?

[pOrk]

Got the video card in and installed, got some help from the Nightmare. Anyways, its running off the onboard video AND the new video card. Is it ok to run it like that? I saw you mention that I should disable the on board video and run both monitors off the card, but it seems to be working this way>?

[1quickgtp]

I would run both off the video card, system will turn unstable eventually running one of the video card and one off onboard.

go into the bios and disable onboard video.

then use the nvidia or ATI driver/program to run the dual monitor

[pOrk]

How do I do that?

[pOrk]

I found where to disable the onboard, but when I plug both monitors into the card only one of them turns on ( the one with the extended screen without the task bar )

[1quickgtp]

use the video card driver / software to enable it

[88Nightmare]

his cd drive doesnt work

[1quickgtp]

what does he need a cd drive for? goto nvidia or ati's website and download the new driver vs. using the 6month old one on the cd that came with the video card!

[pOrk]

I went to the Diamond site and got their driver, its like 2 years old or something
I got it working find and dandy on the video card, although both Nightmare and my brother said it would have worked just dandy with it running off the mobo and the video card with a software upgrade.

Eitherway, its running now. Thanks for your assistance guys.

[1quickgtp]

yup, I just wont "advice" it thats all

[pOrk]

^ What problem do you think it may cause long term? Just curious is all
