Thanks! I googled "jumbo frames" & ended up ... where else but at 'egg. I found this Netgear, but I am awful about mail-in rebates. There is this HP, who are they? ... I thought all of that stuff became "Agilent", with 8 ports & 144 KB packet buffer. That sounds good & don't know if I should...

The cat is nick named Buzzy ... for Buzz Lightyear although i have absolutely no idea why. It is the g/f idea. The dLink I had was 5 port. I can live with 4 ... jumbo frames ... hmmmm, good thought. Gigabit is necessary. I am thinking pretty cheap although the dLink lasted several years. So...

Waddya mean? wadda ya mean by that??!?! HUH! :rolleyes:

This is the path that I am on. Rob has given me a good argument (logic) to build a system that I need *now* around a I7-920. I need the number crunching power of the I7-975, but at $1000 I would never set it aside when the hexa-cores are available. On the other hand, a $250+ I7-920 can put off...

Good! I don't care for Foxconn & another reason to use Asus.

I'm just looking for a new Ethernet switch ... they are all pretty much the same aren't they? It did force me to de-fur the HSF in 1 computer tho before I realized that there was no network connectivity at all. Of course the other machines were off.

This is a gigabit ethernet switch, that I have had for a few years, was found dead this morning.:mad: Apparently its final moments were sometime over night. Suspicion is that it died of natural causes although Jupiter, aka Buzzy aka yellow cat, is looking guilty.:rolleyes: What Juipter's motive...

But, I kind of like this http://www.vonslatt.com/proj-cc.shtml ... seriously. A bit of an ugly duckling, but then it is just a computer. Looking thru this guy's other projects causes one to reflect, a little ... :confused:

I will look forward to seeing GPGPU versus multi-core CPU comparisons. Performance of course, but costs & upgrade possibilities in any sense that makes sense.

Uhhh ... mmmm ... uhhhh ... can't help it ... ... ... talk about airing your dirty laundry or would that be a bad hair day?

all I will say is ... "HUH? What?" When I think of the hearing effects of headphones. Just being a sm@rt @ss :rolleyes: But then, I am the guy likes the sound systems that make my internal organs vibrate against each other. Of course there is noooo harm there.:rolleyes:

slow day here ... ya-a-awn ... ... so I googled & followed links upon links ... maybe that could be called sausaging? :cool: Hmmm, maybe today would be a day to try one of those drinks excepting I am liking the slowness.:rolleyes: First, I am a complete skeptic about all of these products...

Bernie Madoff didn't get money out of people because of his victims doing their own research for his product. They gave up their money because they did not do *any* research and many just wanted to be one of the "big boys". If they invested then then that would make them one of the big boys ...

Ooooh ... nice board & just over $300. Thanks for mentioning it.

... I just 4 alerts for items I am following on nextag.com. Great time of the year to be building a system.

What I will not be doing! http://techrepublic.com.com/2346-10878_11-5717-1.html?tag=content;leftCol represents a ludicrous expense in fittings. The more fitting == more potentials for leaks not to mention the enormous matenance issues in all of that plumbing...

I do travel & have for years. It varies about how much & the where ... US/Asia. But never have I thought I needed a router!:eek: Looking back ... I still cannot imagine what I would do with a wireless router or any router for that matter. Help me here?:confused::confused:

Yes ... you don't send flowers. Too personal & suggests that you might want to think about picking out baby names. :eek: Near Valentines Day I have sent cookie bouquets. :cool: Both items allow and encourage distribution to the department. Both cost near $100 ... but worth it.:) So I am...
