Eyefinity? Anybody try it?

It wasn't the drives performance that was bad, it was just an expensive addition that ultimately didn't make much of a difference.

It's boots hella fast, but I almost never shut my computer down completely. I saw almost zero performance increase on games other than loading. But my max load time with raid 0 is still not very long at all. I found that while they do make certain things faster, it just not a significant justification for what they cost. When I build, I use the money I save buying hdds to bump my overall performance. That being said I store everything I have on my local computer. I use it as a media center for the plasma, homework, and gaming. I occasionally do some video editing, but not very often. I can see where SSD's shine, but personally I dont really have a need for one.

I've also seen a bunch of smaller local companies that used w2k server, drives me insane.

X2 on the SSD disappointment??

And tons tons tons of companies!! I know a major nationwide bank that is still on a token ring network.....I have to.....wait for it.........take floppies to work on their garbage!!

facepalm


Heh, unfortunately for me, I've been out of the IT world for the past 5 years when I scored a job running an asphalt plant that paid well, and eventually got bought out by a really big company that put me in charge of the new plants they put up at my location. But now they've finally got tired of the dip they currently have and with my background (got my CCNA at 16) they let me have at it.

I mean, we're pretty f'ed up, but at least the slowest turd on the network is still running on 100meg ethernet. Is your customer still running an AS/400 party? LOL

Though they did just go through the trouble of running like three miles of brand new fiber at a bunch of our locations, and terminated it all with these junk 100m fiber converters... mind you, we're running all kinds of accounting, scale, streaming cameras, etc... all over fiber running at 100m. And the guy sold us these converters for more then the mini-gbics for the switches would have cost. :shocked:

Not to push this thread in another direction but my 3 monitors stopped working yesterday. I think/hope its my active display port adapter.

This thing: http://www.amazon.com/HIS-HDPSDVIEYE-DisplayPort-Adapter-Eyefinity-Ready/dp/B00439G3NW/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1322322276&sr=8-8

looking at the adapter I noticed its a single-port DVI and my monitor is not. I am missing the prongs on the outer end (non DVI-I?). Is that messing it up? Im confused on how that work. It needs to be an "active" adapter. Why are some adapters $100+ with a usb port? I have some more research to do.



Was going to look for some new CPU parts during black Friday but I didn't see anything too stellar. Best deal was Microcenter had a Sandy Bridge i5 2500k for $150 and if you purchase a mobo with it you get another $60 off the mobo. Unfortunately it was instore only and I didnt want to wake up early or get in lines.
