Re: testing samba

I haven't test anything like this, but I would suggest taking a look at Gentoo Linux (live cd). From what I have heard, Gentoo has been the Admin tool. So there may be away to run a script to simulate activity (example logins, file transfer, port scan...etc)

The Live CD is nice so it does change your actual windows install on the pcs.

Re: Capcitor voltage question

on Digi-key's website, I can't find anything 3300uf 6.3V 10mm Diameter, 5 mm post difference?

Is there any there that are recommended? I notice most of the are 12.5 diameter.

Any suggestions?

Re: Capcitor voltage question

Integrated sound cards were an indication of the age of the motherboard. Most newer motherboards don't come with a joystick port integrated, it is often a header connection.

PeteS in CA & willawake thank you both for the info. It is very helpful. I'll have to look in to how much it is for a kit to be shippe to Canada.

Re: Capcitor voltage question

Thanks guys that is great info.

Diameter? does it matter as well?

Can't believe how many boards have come back to our shop with blown caps.

Some people have been amazed with my ability to find them. basically I check any board that comes in with integrated sound that had a joystick port.

Hello everyone this has been a great site!!

I work at a retail computer store and have been dealing with faulty cap'd boards for several years.

The question I have is about capacitors themselves. The voltage written on the cap itself, is it a maximum or a running voltage? I guess or other?

Main reason I am asking is I have an old PC CHIPS board, but it has 1 blown cap on it (I guess for now). So i wanted to experiment on it.

Can I replace it will a higher voltage cap say 16 volt off another board I know is dead?

Also does...
