  1. Nforce chip set on Current Recommendations For a Home File Server? · · Score: 1

    I would get a nforce 570 SLI / Ultra board with dual gig-e ports with teaming and tcp/ip off load.

    this costs less then the one you picked

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130048

    Also alot of the upcoming am2+ nforce board will have tcp/ip off load as well.

    you still need a load end video card even a low end pci one will work + you have open pci-e slots for pci-e raid cards if you need one.

    I this is for 3rd party work not stuff done by people who work for the same people who own the systems that are being worked on. If you need one a up side a PHB who clueless about computers may not pass the test.

    any ways some like that may get in the way of the Geek squad and others like them that do the same kind of work doing there job and I don't see best buy and others going for PI Licenses.

    Ontrack Data Recovery , drive savers, and other do have Facilities that meet even U.S. Department of Defense specifications and they do work for law enforcement agencies.

    Game Delays are some times better then pushed out carp that is not ready and feels like it is still in Beta.

    If it means pushing people to work 80+ hours a week that just leads to buggy code then delay it so the game works and let QA / beta have time and alot of differnt systems to test on.
