Has anyone upgraded to the PS5 version, is it worth it? I cant really see it looking much better than it already does.

Control was a decent PS5 version, and that was free, also No Mans Sky upgrade is good if you like that sort'a thing. But my fav so far are non-ps5 titles like Days Gone and Ghost of Tsushima that i never played previously. I'm not really into many of those highly marketed PS5 titles, I'm...

I tested the old HD5850 and it was ticking along at about 40fps at low. It was good enough for him to get practicing with the mouse and keyboard. Meanwhile, I’ll keep my eyes out for a sub £50 bargain. Cheers

Exactly, we’ll have equallogic until the end of days.... we’ve been trying to get rid of them for years. (But I do really like them...)

It's a laugh trying to get CE+ when all your infra is 8 years old - Erm i could update Java, but i need version xxxx for the old SAN GUI that doesn't work with anything newer. Why are you on this version of ESXI? Well our servers don't support the latest version...

Oh i forgot to mention, i have a 700W ocz700sxs2 PSU, so maybe that wont work with these older, high end cards?

Under £40 sound better! I'm flogging a dead horse here, i've yet to test how the current HD 5850 plays, but seeing as the last driver was in 2015, I'm not holding much hope.

Hi My boy wanted a PC to play Fortnite, so i dusted off my old PC from the loft. It has x58, 4/8c Xeon, 6GB, SSD and Radeon HD 5850. It still works ok apart from the gpu, so what 2nd hand card should i be looking for to give him a reasonable fortnite framerate at 1080p? I really don't want to...

Hi I have a spare WD purple CCTV drive, i wish to add it to a 2 bay synology NAS mirrored with a different, non-purple drive. Does anyone see any problems with this? I'm not too fussed about speed, its only used for streaming/backups. cheers

So i have a smashed screen on this still decent TV. I've bought a new TV now, but wondering what to do with this one? I'd have a go and replacing the panel if i could find replacement, but ebay etc has none for sale. Anyone attempted to replace TV panel recently? It looks pretty easy...

I did some tests today on some new servers we bought, compared them to our oldest ones. 1M, single thread PI test Xeon E5-2680, released Mar 2012, price $1723 Xeon Silver 4208, released Apr 2019, price $417 drum roll..... They both performed exactly the same, completed in 11.5 seconds...

Yes, space limited. And it turns out he doesn't want to spend more than £500.

What about the LG 43UM7600PLB ? The old man depends on his Which reviews, and this one scored highly. It's also on a black friday discount.

Thanks, The Samsung looks good, I might point him in the direction of a Sony KD43XG8305BU, but maybe he won't like the sometimes buggy android tv.

My old man is looking for a new TV. It has to be 43 Inches or less. He has loads of money, so what's the best in this size? cheers

Dell for me, mainly because there's a larger KB out there and also the firmwares are available without having a maintenance contract. > Dell solution which is just a batch file run in Windows This is not really true, there's many ways to flash your fw. Via IDRAC, direct via the Lifecycle...

I get the impression there's not much you can fix yourself or even muck up, its almost a fully managed stack that phones home and they will know about any issues before you do. You are the first person i've seen to have anything bad to say about them though, their support is often praised.

Again, I'm not too sure myself. Yes the VMs will continue running and stay online, but if you bring a host over with a pre-configured vDS, surely you have to configure the new vDS on new (different) NICs before changing the VM's networks? So you need more uplinks. I think you're meant to move...

This is my issue with HCI. Most of the time, companies will quote you for a cluster than can run all your workloads. It's all minimum spec with N+1 to fit into the budget. But when you have multiple DCs, DFS-R's, mirrored DBs and LB web front-ends, you want each `copy` of those pairs on...

Same here, so HCI should be high on your list just for this reason. There comes a point when you can't be arsed in going through pages of compatibility matrix's just to update something to a newer level.
