Has this actually been done? I have an 8X slot...... I want to try this.
What to cut the PCB on the video card then?

I've seen pictures; you'll need to look at the spec and count contacts to figure out where the gap between lanes 8 and 9 is. Check you mobo first though; a lot of the 4/8x slots have an open back so you can insert a card with more lanes than will connect without having to modify anything.

Hi guys...got a little prblum. How can I access a database from a computer(either server or client) on my windows mobile?? Is there any technology out there or this is a kindda IP Address problum and have to be tackeled by some network administraotr?? If I am on wrong platform...plz advise
|

Depends on the database engine you're trying to get to.
This stuff is already in the .NET Compact Framework and is well documented.

Difinitely SQl Server on my desktop computer and SQL Server CE on my device...should this be ok??
|
|
|
|
|
OK for what? Holding data. Yes, considering that's exactly what this stuff was designed for.

can any body plz help me how to get (R_off) of a MOSFET from its data sheet ?? for example i had (BUZ71) ..
|
|
|
|
|
Remember Ohm's law?
IDSS is 1 μA at Vds = 50V and VGS = 0 and room temp according to the datasheet.
This implies that Roff should be somewhere around 50 MΩ
This is of course not linear with neither voltage or temperature or even very exact.

I have a server (Dell PowerEdge 840 running Windows SBS) that I don't need anymore, but i DO need another regular desktop computer (not networked). Does anybody know if I can just install a regular operating system on it and off I go, or are there server-specific issues that would prevent or complicate that? This is a quad processor with a huge hard drive, and it's a shame that it's sitting on a shelf unused. I'm an applications guy with no chops in this department. Thanks!

| You should be good to go. The only potential gotcha is that if you mean quad socket instead of quadcore is that windows home only supports single socket systems, and win pro/ultimate only support dual sockets; this has been the case since at least win2k. 3x12=36

If the OS is newer than Server2003 SP2 it simply won't use more processors than the license admits.

| Noted. I've never had a multi-socket system to play with. New ones tend to be disgustingly expensive and lack features I consider critical (overclocking potential) and by the time they're surplussed for peanuts they're too slow and power hungry to be worthwhile. They used to be on my tech-lust list, but by the time i had enough money to indulge it multi-core chips had largely removed the need. 3x12=36

I never really saw the need for more than two cores, as there until recently we're to few useful programs that could use multiple cores.
Well, there are games, which would ruin what little I have left of a social life. And databases, which I get enough of at work.
I do have some hopes for graphic programs, but Amdahl's law makes me suspect that I will never buy a personal computer with more than four cores.

| Moore's law and process shrinks would argue that in a decade or so you'll probably be unable to buy one with that few. Chip makers are confident that they can push silcon to the 11nm process node. That's ~16x transistor density of the current mature 45nm process (32nm capacity is too volume limited at present to be counted as mature). At 45nm we have 1-4 cores depending on your performance slot. Handwavingly that would imply 16-64 cores on 11nm chips. Even though the CPU's currrent habit of eating chipset functionality will probably degrade that number on the lowend I suspect we'll end up with x86 chips with 8 cores as the minimum. If the 7 or 8nm node turns out to be possible as well the number will go up. If none of Germanium/Gallium Arsenide/Gallium Nitride/Graphene reach a level suitable for mass market CPUs before Silicon maxes out things will get interesting... 3x12=36

You're quite right.
And the fact that most programs (in the near future atleast) will continue to do most of their work in just one thread, doesn't change the fact that we will have a raising number of programs running in the background.
I can only blame that I have a single threaded mind and that it's late.

That reminds me of a Bill Gates who once said no computer would ever need more than 640 kilobytes of memory.
Dan is correct, the minimum will rise.
BTW: a PC meant to be a server may lack a video card (can be added), and some audio circuitry; you might not be able to get the elementary beep client versions of Windows sometimes want to throw at you.

I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that. All Toronto weekends should be extremely wet until we get it automated in regular forums, not just QA.

I personally have wanted to get a desktop with Nvidia Tesla cards, but I do a lot of computation.

I've used dual socket dell workstations and single socket dell test machines since 2005. In my experience, the operating system of the dual sockets hung a lot less than single sockets with the same cpus. My guess is that you could recover from infinite loops and other run-time errors from poorly designed anti-virus, anti-spyware, OS, etc. in dual socket, but not single socket.

Hello
I am a newbie with DSF and USB
I looked at the MSDN sample for simulating a USB Keyboard (generic HID) using DSF.
I was able to run the sample and have the keyboard enumerate and simulated device driver loaded but was not clear on how to construct and send input reports to the simulated device using the provided script file.
Further I tried to modify the script to simulate a mouse and again was unsure of how to communicate with the mouse.
My end goal is to be able to command the simulated mouse cursor to scroll on the screen.
Any help is highly appreciatedSreedhar

Try my sample code from my kinect project at: http://kinectmultipoint.codeplex.com
It simulates mouse input but the dsf script needs to be converted to vb.net
