Dohmar Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 so how many tape your reckon google use to backup there data not sure eh, but I can guarantee you theyre not using any of the following a) external hdd's b) raid arrays c) floppy discs d) usb flash sticks e) solid state drives f) removable disk caddies g) blue ray and you're comparing my needs to google. I'm flattered but the argument is seriously invalid ;P -D Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/108819-computer-jargon/page/145/#findComment-4738452 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dohmar Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 whilst its been fun Ben i think ill stop stiring the pot lets agree to disagree Yep. We can agree on that article tho. they dont use any of the above What google is doing is a meta-cluster beowulf clusters were the norm but google have their own system and protocol. each machine functions like a hdd functions in a raid10. its just a simple block in a huge ass mainframe spread over a google cluster best thing about these clusters is that they dont need fast hard drives, fast cpus, fast raid controllers, memory or any such thing. by dint of their number, they have a stupendous amount of bandwidth and that overrides anything a single computer can advance -D Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/108819-computer-jargon/page/145/#findComment-4738479 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dohmar Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Well I finally bit the bullet and ordered the first stage of my PC upgrade... Settled on the following : Intel i7 920 CPU ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 Motherboard OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 Platinum 12GB Memory Kit Powercolor 4890 1GB PCIe Videocard OCZ GameXStream 850W SLI Power Supply Coolermaster V8 CPU Heatsink + lga1366 Bracket wasnt particularly cheap, just a tad over $1800... going to upgrade to the dual raid0 ssd's like luke suggested but probably not until oct22 (when I can score win7 oem at the same time)... should also be able to overclock the cpu to 3.8ghz up from the stock 2.26 with those particular components (and the heatsink is bloody massive) still got monitor, keyboard, terabyte hdd's, headset mic, etc etc to go but that can wait till I need to upgrade. Cant wait for the postie this week -D Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/108819-computer-jargon/page/145/#findComment-4744932 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dark.sky Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Hey guys Ive got a small problem with my notebook, and just thought I would ask incase any of you have an idea. Its a Acer Aspire notebook ~3 months old running Vista Premium and Realtek HD Audio. Yesterday I went to watch a youtube video to discover I had no sound. I noticed there was no audio icon in the system tray, so I restarted it just incase the process was stopped or whatever. Still no sound. I went in to control panel, clicked on sounds and it said Rundll32 has stopped working check online/close yada yada yada. If I click on the Realtek HD Audio Manager in Control Panel nothing happens. I uninstalled the Realtek application and reinstalled the application and drivers again with a fresh copy from the Acer website. Same thing. I have manually searched for the drivers in device manager and have got them to install the correct drivers but still not working. Then I got more drivers from the Realtek website and exactly the same thing. No sound, cant go into Sounds in Control Panel (Rundll32 has stopped working), Realtek HD Audio Manager in Control Panel doesnt open. I have googled, googled and googled but cant seem to find an answer for my issue...

CRoNic... Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Have you removed the Sound card completely from Computer Management section? Then reboot and let it find all the new hardware. Rundll32 is linked to like... everything. Including your dishwasher. I'm not good with Vista, though.

TALBO Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Have you been in the BIOS lately? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/108819-computer-jargon/page/145/#findComment-4802962 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRoNic... Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Yeah if you've configured anything in the bios lately, that MIGHT have something to do with the sound not working, but wouldn't explain the rundll32 error. Run the repair option from the CD... if it's anything like XP, that had a quick repair option.

dark.sky Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 No I havent touched the BIOS. like I said it was fine one day, no good the next. I ran system restore (not that I expected it to work) back to a couple of days ago but still got the rundll32 error. I think I will just backup all my stuff, and reinstall vista. f***en. Thanks for the replies though guys. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/108819-computer-jargon/page/145/#findComment-4803323 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRoNic... Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 The Vista CD doesn't come with a quick repair option? Boot via CD and press R or whatever the key is? It just restores the key files but keeps your created files.

Boot via CD and press R or whatever the key is?It just restores the key files but keeps your created files. Well I dont have actual Vista CD, just the recovery discs that came with the notebook. A partial recovery (or whatever they call it) transfers user files to a directory and erases everything else as far as I can see, so I might aswell start again fresh.
