It's best to buy the full version, retail or OEM, of 7. The upgrade version is a pain, as you know. I'm only posting this as a warning for others.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Am I right in thinking you can record prgrams in Win7 Media centre and watch those recordings on a different Win7 machine, in your house, over the LAN? I think there used to be DRM issues in XP? Thanks

Hi, This is what I went with in the end: Intel Core i7-3770 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £229.99 (£191.66) Antec Sonata IV Quiet Case - Black (620W PSU) £107.54 (£89.62) Asus P8Z77-V LX Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £99.98 (£83.32) Microsoft Windows...

I've looked at this Z77 stuff more closely. Is this OK, I'm unsure about the RAM compatibility. Intel Core i7-3770K 3.50GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £257.99 (£214.99) Asus P8Z77-V LE Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £124.99 (£104.16) Crucial RealSSD M4...

I left out a mechanical disk from the spec, as I was mainly wondering about the SSD. But will probably be putting one in. I also forgot to ask about a CPU cooler, I wouldn't be overclocking it and would be happier with air. So which cooler (with or without fan mate) for quietness? Cheers

I've never had any problem (re)activating XP, over the net, after hardware changes, including new motherboards.

It's a CentOS OS running one Yabb forum. The load average can be 4, 4, 4 or above, at peak times. Top shows more than one instance of Yabb running, so I presume that the Hyper threading is using both threads.

Oh, 10% quicker 50%? :confused:

OK thanks, I'll think about changing from the P4 then. As it's a hired server, I think overclocking it would be a bit cheeky! ;) Another silly question; if everything else was equal, would a quad core be twice as fast as a duel? Thanks

Hi, Does a "Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz" out perform a "Pentium 4 (630) - 3.00GHz"? No overclocking, it's just in an internet server. Thanks

I recently took some NAS space at the hosts end. I can now backup everything at their end without having to download it to my machine at home. The big problem with backing up to home, I have found, is when you want to upload vast amounts of files it takes forever.

It is on the same LAN, the problem was the second NIC wasn't working and the NAS was on this connection. The hosting firm sorted it all out for me, it took them 30 minutes or so. Goodness knows how long it would have took me. But thanks for the pointers, it helped.

Your way looks promosing, but it's giving a "mount error 110 = Connection timed out". I guess I need to figure out the port forwarding buisness next. Thanks

Hi, I have space on a NAS for backing up my remote server (Centos 4.6). Any idea what I call it at shell, to mount it? -t ??? Thanks

Just checking! :D

Is that on your £49.99 per year hosting?

I image he mean change the entry from ns1.myhost.com to ns1.myotherhost.com and then change it back later. But I'm guessing.
