    Advice requested: RMA functioning cpu with bent pins or no?

    If its not cost to you to return the one that had bent pins in the first place (other than shipping), I'd send it back. I've realigned plenty of pins on CPU's before, not had a problem, but if it came out of the box like that I wouldn't accept it.

    New ESXi build feedback/troubleshooting

    Noble, I was gonna say I've used Openfiler to serve iSCSI for VMWare and it's not great. Openfiler NFS is a better bet. Unless you've got dedicated iSCSI TOE hardware (plus switches with cache large enough for the frames etc), it might be better to go simple and NFS. Sounds like a fun project.

    PhysX87: Software Deficiency

    @NoOther - you're talking about machines that feature very old hardware, for gaming. If NVIDIA were to optimize the CPU routines of PhysX (and don't forget, not all PhysX can be GPU accelerated - only subsections, some runs only on CPU no matter what) then they would likely pick to optimize to...

    VMware Workstation CPU

    I would go with Phenom II X6, more concurrent VM's. 890FX motherboard has virtualized IOMMU (when VMware support it will help performance on high I/O workloads, but might not be relevant before you upgrade again). Lots of RAM will help with running lots of VM's, too, and the unganged memory mode...

    Home virtual solution

    ESXi free all the way. Supports Intel ICH chipset for AHCI mode (not fakeraid) and will offer all the features etc. and the vmware vsphere single host management for alarms and resource pools. For moving from vmware workstation to esxi, one reason would be to give more resources to vm's. the...

    Did anyone see the PowerColor Eyefinity 12 card?

    I don't get this card. As it stands you're (a) limited to 8000 pixels resolution on one axis (b) limited to a maximum of 6 panels in an Eyefinity display group (c) limited by crossfire to only creating Eyefinity groups on the primary card So either this is for non-crossfire use, which can't be...

    Hybrid PhysX Mod Package Contained Trojan

    Because that comment was in direct response to another Rage3D members' question, not something REGENERATION asked. I'm not sure why "no comment" needs clarification - REGENERATION decided he wanted to be purile based on some imagined insult. I said I'm not going to comment. No winks, no...

    Hybrid PhysX Mod Package Contained Trojan

    Got a nice message from a site admin of NGOHQ, at Rage3D: So there you have it, GenL is using a freeware packer to circumvent the GeForce drivers from detecting the mod and disabling it.

    Hybrid PhysX Mod Package Contained Trojan

    Yes. Extracting the rar to get the executable gives an extra hit (18/40)

    Hybrid PhysX Mod Package Contained Trojan

    version 1.0.2 was detected as containing the trojan (see comments here, where it is 'dismissed' as a false positive)

    Eyefinity Fun For the Whole Family

    Portrait 5x1 is going to be very interesting, as are games developed with AMD Eyefinity / 'Crosshair' SDK.

    PCI-E x8 5870 Crossfire Bottleneck?

    I think TechPowerUp looked at this and found you weren't bottlenecked until you hit x4.

    Getting a weird interupt error only about 15 minutes after I start the computer

    I wonder if that is the DPC issue nVidia cards are supposed to have, to be fixed in next official driver release?
