What I really wish is that MDSN would stop returning results from old SDK version by default.
Go search for 'D3DXMATRIX' and look at the first link. 2 SDKs ago.

[quote user="Zork"]Thirdly, A TX2300 is an entry level / hobbist card at best. Anyone installing one of these in a production environment should be shot.

Again, would you rather spend $500 or whatever a "proper" RAID card costs for a 5-desktop office? Personally, I would just use md/whatever windows has for software raid. Free, good performance, no need to worry about failing controllers, etc.

Actually, I would explain to the clients that they can pay me the $150/hr 4 hours each time I come out to replace / fix equipment they saved $200 on, or spend the money now and get equipment designed to run for years at a time.
Although, I would probably just resort to a software RAID as well.

I don't really like some of the things that Microsoft does, but damn people need to get their facts straight.
The first, Minor thing is that an HP 5100 is a Laser Printer. So I doubt he installed 5 of them. HP's business desktops ate called dx2XX or something similar, and their consumer desktops are like n520p or something like that.

OK, this is my bad. There are some Compaq dc5100s that could be the PC he is installing.

Secondly, I've been installing XP on HP business machines for years, and I've never had it tell me I'm using a bad key. Slipstreamed disk or no, HP disk, or just XP CD I have, I've never had this problem. Now if this were Windows 98, we'd be talking, cause they did pull that kind of crud back then.

This reeks of that kind of Computer guy that's the most dangerous. Knows just enough to convince people he knows a lot, and doesn't see the real difference in server level hardware vs. consumer level hardware. I bet the guy bought off the shelf Western Digital SATA drives, too. (Edit: Oh yeah. He did. Good job there, guy.)
