You may need to inject the latest nic and storage drivers into it.
-
Removing the hard disk sounds like a lot of work, I'm sure the latest version of Ghost solution suite will build a windows pe based boot image which would get round your problems.
-
I was going to say its got to be one or the other.
-
Is a smart board actually powered from the USB though? Its probably more likley a BIOS bug where the machine is detecting it as a mass storage device, expect a BIOS update to fix that.
-
You could pxe boot a winpe image and run ghost32 from that. you would need to inject any appropriate storage & noc drivers into the winpe boot image. It might be worth checking out this thread http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows/28757-ghosting-hp-6735s-laptop.html

That would be a 15" screen that has a native resolution of 1024x768. You can just use a 17" or 19" 4:3 screen that does 1280x1024 native it will scale a 1024x768 resolution to fit the screen.

You might want to consider the E7400 over the E8400, you would loose VT support and its 3MB of cache instead of 6MB but performance will be similar for standard office tasks. Its about £25-£30 difference so it might be worth investigating if it is worth the extra cost.

Thats a very good call, this is something we can arrange for you should you need it. -
http://h30099.www3.hp.com/configurator/powercalcs.asp Hmm here is the HP power calulator but it does not seem to list the DL120

It is possible although the 9500 is hardly a high powered card, I would certainly try it without (I assume it has onboard graphics) and loop 3d mark a few time to try and replicate the issue.
-
Sounds like a BIOS bug, although your right modern Intel chipsets don't have IDE its actually driven from a Jmicron/Promise/Marvell controller chip. These sometimes have compatability issues although you should be able to boot form them.
-
I have an Intel DG45ID sat here that says otherwise:p Although sure most will still have a single connector.
-
For sure he could get a dual Quad core system with 8GB or more for that kind money depending what kind of disk configuration he wants/needs. Also be aware that Xeon 3500 series (Nehalem) and Xeon 5500 series (Nehalem-EP) processors/systems will be launching next month.

What would yu say is the most unreliable modern product?

We did something similar for plexer using openfiler I think it was about £3k at the time (will have gone up a few hundred quid due to the weak £). -

Anything from the Indesit company -
This can be complicated it actually depends on which Xeons you are talking about, if you are talking about the 3xxx series 775 single socket range then yes they are just renamed Core2 Duo & Core2 Quad parts. Most people will be using 5xxx series which are the dual socket proper server/workstation chips and a different thing.
-
Souds like tosh to me
-
Yes same as ours it is definatly an advantage.
-
If it is just for playing then you don't need to go too crazy just get plenty of ram and a single socket entry level box. However if you are actually going to start using it seriously and start to virtualize you will probably want to do some reasearch into storage requirements etc.
-
Pretty much all current mainstream server CPUs are 64 bit. For your budget you will probably be looking at a dual quad core xeon system with 4-8GB of ram, disk configuration will mainly depend on what you need it for.
-
yeah thats for 32 of them lol
