For normal in-house wiring to ONLY PHONES Cat-5 or 6 is a little over-kill. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_3_cable That might be hard to find though and I never priced it. I'm still using the old ATT 4 wire stuff. I bought a 1000' spool of it. My house was pre-wired when built with a 6 or

Rick, Thanks. Like you, I am 'once burnt, twice shy!' I may still have to upgrade from the on-board Realtek NIC to a plug-in Intel NIC sometime in the future. I find the Realtek website is getting really confusing lately. So many OS choices! But, as the LAN continues to work fine. I will

If you see damage, corrosion, or bad workmanship all over the place then all new is the obvious way to go. I made a living following around people that did bad work. (Still do.) Use the best wire you can afford. FWIW: Redesign the plan... I brought my phone lines into the house and made

One of the monitors must have a Display Port connection and I'm not sure the adapter situation is straight just yet. Also, I don't think 1600x1200 will cut it but it's possible. What are they? Cathode ray? On 2/10/2010 6:11 PM, Bino Gopal wrote: Don't know if you're into it, but I've been

One 5850 will drive 3 monitors but one must have a Display port connection and all 3 monitors have to be running the same resolution so your 30 display would have to be set to 1920x1200 like your 24 ones. On 2/10/2010 8:39 PM, Winterlight wrote: I have a couple of Asus 4970s running three
