:roll: nice pic Kieran!! Yea I never used the RAM properly, just tested it at 1066 to make sure it can hit spec. Might even be a really well performing set, I dunno.

Go on then cheesy - I'll bite - what did you unbox? Anything interesting?

Teeth whitening lol :)

I bet the new network needed a new server and then you have to set that system up to work with all the client computers in the building some software sided stuff, intranet ect. Maybe some new client computers. Loads of planning how to wire up the building, hopefully something like that is just replacing the old cabling so its easier that way, maybe some routers and switches. Setting up the routers and switches and managing the ip addresses (static ip addresses).

At college i wish i did HND Networking, I did almost a year of Tech Support and then left college.

yeah, apparently they wanted specific brands + set ups, and they've asked for some weird things like a 12 core 24 thread server just for file storage :wtf:

and its half the parts, the rest of the stuff is a few hard drives/switches etc

Id advise the customer you wouldn't personally have one but ultimately its their decision and they are paying lol

Its like when a Pakistani guy asked my uncle if he could keep the wall bare and "that colour" when he got his wall plastered. My uncle was like personally i wouldn't but its okay to leave it like that if you wish (it was like a salmon colour).

doesn't matter, it'll still be 3x as fast as a notebook drive and its the seek speed that makes the real difference apparently

hmmmm... I'll have to think about it. I just upgraded to a 250Gb HDD on this thing. the only other thing i was thinking of was getting a Mini PCI-E PATA IDE 8GB SSD and use it for readyboost

How much of a difference does readyboost make for older systems, my old system is a 3500+ 939pin.

I think it was more dependant on the amount ram you had. if you had more then 2Gb then it wouldnt make much difference at all.

I've been led to believe it works quite well. Tatty recommended it to us a coupla weeks back so I'll be looking for a decent size memory stick soon.

Well it has 4x512mb of DDR but its kinda sluggish at startup. It used to have a x2 4200+ but one of the pins broke this was around about 2 years ago. Someone said to solder it back on but i lost the pin and my soldering skills are non-existent.

So a 2gb flash drive might speed it up a little? It uses Windows 7 and btw XP aint noticeably faster. Im thinking a nice faster hard drive would speed up load times but hell im not putting my money into it.
