Interesting read I came across the other day: http://www.techspot.com/review/1155-affordable-dual-xeon-pc/ Long story short, there are a lot of Xeon E5-2670 on the market (used) and it is possible to get a pretty respectfully high performing system for a bargain price. Not the highest of clock speeds, but a 20Mb cach is not to be sniffed at, and 8 cores.. Thought I'd share

Well it would be nice, the time and effort put in to provide the service by Arjen, as well as the actual expense, ought to be recognized [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow! Having seen some US General get a freebie flight (well am damned sure it was not paid for out of his pocket) in the self same Spit, and actually video'd it, I am very, very green. Well done! Your dad want to adopt a 55 year old by any chance?

that had me in tears, very freaking funny!

Thanks for stopping by Bliss! FT - as it is an I7 based server, (Intel® Core™ i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz) it should be fairly robust!

A nice man indeed! Thank you for the support, it is very much appreciated. Which server do you use? The US one or the Euro one?

Hi chaps. We have squeezed as much out of the life of v3 as possible, v4 has been alive and well for a long time. I held off doing the upgrade primarily because of the member map, there is also the auto group application thingy too (but that seems to have been abandoned). Good news is the member map and the other key apps are all done now, so I will be looking to upgrade in the very near future. I am also looking into moving the server as well, the DF server is more heavily used by the Euros amongst us so it would make sense for it to be based in Europe. I am building a new DF server at the moment, once we have it tested and everyone (or the majority anyway) is happy I can then consider the schedule for the move and the upgrade

More salt than pepper these days! Pepper is now the dogs name lol.

Those Sppedlink Medusas are good cans! Thanks for the tip on ear pads, I handed down my Logitech G35s because they were flaking black leatherette stuff all over my ears and hair.

You can copy to/from any make of drive so long as the source/destination is either a WD or Seagate with the free Acronis

If you have a Western Digital or Seagate drive you can get a free copy of Acronis from their site. This will clone the drive without issue (may have to do SSD > Seagate/WD > SSD though if no SSD by those makers).

Disk access being monitored by it? Cache = RAM therefore not scanned?

I was able to get a free key when changing mobo - had to phone through to do it though. Not sure how many times that can be done though... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Merry (and Happy) Christmas All!

You can update within Win 7 using the ISO - burn it to disk, whilst Win 7 is running insert the disk and it should prompt you to upgrade, it will do some updates but most of the data needed is on the disk. At least that is how I did a couple of systems.

hehehe good one

DCS 2.0 is pretty damn good considering it is an Alpha. Performance is superb on my old rig, and I can even get the Dora off the ground, and back New X55 helps in that regard though.

Or using a technet serial because I am tight causes issues

GPT can be a PITA as I found out, but only because I went from a UEFI to non UEFI board, and back to UEFI. This necessitated completely reinstalling Windows each time. Swapping UEFI capable boards should not present the same issue, and resilience is a big selling point along with > 2TB drive support for using GPT.

I phoned Microsoft, well they phoned me after I went through their web support options. Nice chap from India entered a new key, Windows 10 Pro now activated. Cost? Zero apart from 15 minutes or so watching him use logme in

Result is in, Windows needs reactivating and a new key. Only $200 for the pleasure, so Win 7 or 8 install and upgrade it is then.

There is a difference between OEM and retail versions of Win 7 and upgrade ability post 10, OEM is tied to the hardware, retail is not. About to find out for myself today, replacing son's mobo and will have fingers crossed. Will report back (my win7 keys are all technet so *should* be retail equivalents... ho hum).

Damn he must be using TOR to get access, need to work harder on preventing his radical message broadcasts... Good to see you again Kelly!
