Comment on How to Increase the 10 Connection Limit on a Windows LAN by Scottie

Not sure about Win2k server. Don’t know much about it, although I think the server versions are far more restrictive since they want you to pay lots more money for a server that can handle more connections. I could be wrong, though!

Comment on The Truth About the Performance and Capabilities of Intel’s GMA 500 by Sam Usual

The GMA500 has been a real drag. You can’t even run OLD games that ran on laptops 5 years ago. The support just isn’t there. Display Video isn’t the only beef, you can’t run ANYTHING on a GMA500 machine except the most basic windows software. And BTW … the Major of users STILL prefer windows XP. Windows XP HOME is STILL the fastest starting, slimest and best performing operating system on the market today. MILLIONS will not switch to Win 7 because the Software Libraries that they have been building for YEARS and YEARS will not work on Win 7. Both MicroSoft and Intel are just alienating MILLIONS of once happy users. The machines are getting slower not faster. Take any 5 year old laptop lenovo/dell … running XP Home and sit it next to a modern this year standard laptop running Win 7, Start em up and and fire off a 3 year old PC game …. The Winner will be the Win XP Home laptop and it will run the software better too. You probably won’t even get the software to work on the Win 7 laptop. The GMA 500 has ruin Intels Image … this hyped up dog has forced users to go out and download drivers from sources that are …. well QUESTIONABLE. Great job intel now every one has to ask a hacker to help get their laptop to play a game.

You mentioned that “The 32-bit commands are in the system32 folder, and the 64-bit commands are stored in the SysWOW64 directory. x64 Windows looks in SysWOW64 by default when you call a command line function.”. I read somewhere else that SysWOW64 directory actually stores the 32-bit (instead of 64-bit) binaries. That only exist on a x64 Windows. The system32 folder always stores the “native” binary of the OS.
