Thanks for you responses guys. I think the first thing I will try will be another cable modem on our second IP. I'll keep you updated with the results.

Hey all, long time no post. In case anyone is wondering, or cares, I've spent the last 8 months in short sale/new business owner hell... hence the radio silence. However, now I come to you all with a question. I am running a franchised business with corporate HQ "support" and recently...

I want in! [TPU]Soup

I hate acrylic cases, but that thing is pretty sweet looking.

^^^ And what products are your companies making?

Afraid of the future?:laugh:

Haha! Subscribed to see where this goes...

If this work is mission critical then you'll definitely want the fault tolerance of RAID 1 or some sort of online backup.

If he's running any simulations I would go for 16GB. I have some users running flow sims and they eat upwards of 30GB of system memory. Will all the data be stored locally? If so, whether you go SSD or mechanical, I'd get two drives for RAID 1 redundancy. Looks like a fun project!

In that case I would look for the card with the most mature driver set. Workstation cards are pricey because of the general quality and error tolerances put into the drivers. Perhaps a 6000 or 500 series?

You might consider the FirePro APUs.

If that's your budget, get the TI now and SLI later if you need more performance.

You could get creative with one of these...

Yea, that's what I was going for. Thanks for wording it better.
