Dell R900 Server – 24 cores and 128GIG Ram
Mar 11th
We got in some new servers at work, this been the Dell R900 4U Servers and what peaked my interest was the fact that this servers comes with 2x 6 core Xeon CPU’s – that’s 12 Cores of 2.4Ghz Power. It is easy sometimes to forget what is going on in the server / business world when sitting at home and looking at awe at the 8 Core (2 x 4) Mac Pro or the new 6 Core I7 CPU. This post is just to serve as a means to show you what you can get, this is for a box that might run 12 virtual servers and maybe not quite suited to playing the latest games (the noise would annoy you too much anyhow – its like a jet taking off).
Bogus Emulator Comes Packed with Trojan
Mar 11th
Nostalgic gamers wanting a little old-school action on the PC (without having to dig out the console) may want to steer clear of a recently-released PlayStation 2 emulator touted to be “far superior to all other PS2 Emulators released before it.”
Chris Boyd of Sunbelt Software reports that web surfers should always be wary of “free applications” on the Internet, however the post focused on this particular emulator currently residing on various websites including Appzkeygen(dot)com and movieutilitesonline(dot)com .
Intel Pushes Atom CPU to Drive Storage Devices
Mar 8th
While Intel’s Atom has a near-monopoly on the netbook market, that’s not the only place the processor will be practicing its power-miserly ways. Intel launched at CeBit its first Atom processor-based platform optimized for networked home and small office/home office (SOHO) storage devices.
The energy-efficient platform consists of the Atom processor D410 single-core or D510 dual-core and the 82801IR I/O Controller to run network-attached storage (NAS) devices that organize, manage, protect and share documents, photos, videos and music.

Google Chrome – Not living up to the Hype
Feb 23rd
I had noticed a couple of problems when using my otherwise fine Firefox 3.6, one been the pause when you first go to a page and the other was the browser crashing when trying to view Justin.TV Archives function (when it got to the end of the segment).
I was tempted to try Google Chrome after everybody told me how good it was, faster, better and all round amazing. Could I take Chrome and make it my main browsing platform? Had it come a long way since I last tried it? Did it use a lot less memory and was it more secure?
Multi Computer organisation
Feb 23rd
I am going to try and explain what I have learned over the many years of using many computers – to try and present what I feel is a good layout for your media so that you stop loosing important files by silly mistakes. While this is not the be all and end all of how to use a computer, it will help you stop having duplicates, needing to keep backing up multiple times and pay for services online.

You want to create your own Adobe Air Application which you can distribute to your friends, say for example an application to let people watch your stream? I followed a quick guide online using nothing more then Notepad and dos prompt and ended off with an Application that runs on all platforms.
Linux Mint 8 – another day at the office
Feb 14th
If you look at the last story on the Toshiba 1800-400 Laptop, you would have seen how I never managed to get an Old laptop working at all on Linux, in this instance Windows XP gives you a VGA driver before installing any chipset drivers, which means you can at least see what is going on and it does not crash when you insert a PCMCIA Card. Today, I thought I would install the same Linux Mint 8 on a desktop computer, surely this would work much better right?
