  2. Re:512MB L2 Cache? on Intel Unveils New Chips to Battle AMD · · Score: 2, Informative

    yea i saw that 512mb & 256mb L2's.. can i have one :)

    it is 512kb & 256kb L2's.. and for the record the p3 coppermine (which is the one with 256kb L2) is not jsut another p3 "No real changes from the 600 MHz version" is completely wrong..

    clock for clock the p3 coppermine is the fastest proccessor ever designed.. sure it can't do everything that the new stuff can do, but that wasn't what it was ment to do.

    the coppermine was a wonderfull design and i would love to see intel bring it back from the dead and make some new high clock cpus with that core - i have heard some reports that that is what they did with the new line "core" but i don't know...

    i agree with you personaly it sounds like he was tring to do something funky with the setup..

    it is easy to mis configure a cisco router/switch to where it will only work part of the time.. best thing to do is just flash it and start over.. only takes 30min no mater what your config looks like..

    and if you can't read/redo your config in 30min then yes, you have a configuration problem

  5. Re:B.S. D? on NetBSD's Real-Time Network Backup · · Score: 4, Insightful

    yes you are missing the point..

    take 10 small servers that do the front end grunt work with 2-3 backup servers that keep complete working images of the servers and have access to their data..

    a front end server dies service can roll over to a backend until the front is replaced and is quickly made jsut like the orginal a backend dies and you have a second and if all the backups die then you still have the front end to recreate the backups..

    you don't normaly consider the bandwith costs as they are typicaly on a highspeed network between them and it offers you the option of replication over diffrent connections and areas..

    all redundent disks help with is if a disk dies not if ram or cpu fails

    some people have gotten too attached to their physical backups and tapes - personaly a backup is worthless if i can't have live access to it in a few min even if i am not physicaly at the point of failure..

    this isn't particulary useful for small setups but is great for mid to large scale setups and offers plenty of room to grow.

  8. Re:Sand box? on Professor 'Packetslinger' Assigns Questionable Task · · Score: 1

    it is an intel card.. so yes you can flash it.. my best guess about it (by looking at the packets spewing out of it) is that it is doing bogus bootp stuff. with malformed headers and mac's and everything.. and on most networks that is valid trafic and switchs will forward them out all ports and most routers unless they are border routers will send them to any close subnets. and considering it is a gigabit card .. given a nice connection it can saturate a network quickly..

    again .. i keep it incase i don't like someone..

    I got a network card here on my desk.. you plug it in and give it power and it just sends massive random data over the line.. as fast as the cable can handel.. the weird part is it is valid packets and switchs proccess them and forward them .. it died one day and took out a portion of the UNC network.. i keep it just incase i ever need to kill some ones network

    i am not so sure about the windows being more expensive than Unix.. (UNIX not *nix) - Server 2003 licensing isn't that bad.. and for the web/standard is very reasonable.

    and i will also note that windows server 2003 is quite nice.. they did a good job with the secure by default and there hasn't been any bad cases of flaws and holes in it yet.

    I would like to see the volume of servers and cost associated with hardware but i don't think people want to give that info away.

    as for the .NET - this is true alot of schools are moving that way and one of the benifits of having a windows server verses Unix is that they can run ASP.Net and jsp and just about any other language crap they want.
