In today’s
high tech world, the Internet is quickly becoming a favorite resource for
knowledge gathering and entertainment alike. ?As the owner of a popular website,
you may find yourself running into problems because your servers cannot handle
the number of visitors to your site. That’s where load-balancing comes in.
Load-balancing, by definition, is dividing the amount of work that a computer
has to do between one or more additional computers so that more work gets done
in the same amount of time and, in general, all processing get done faster.
Consider this
analogy.? You own a restaurant, where you currently employ one chef.? As your
restaurant gains popularity, the chef becomes busier with the preparation for
the food for each of your visitors.? There will eventually come a time when the
stream of customers is too much for your chef to keep up with them.? So how do
you solve it?? You hire a second chef.? When a new order comes in, the chef with
the smaller load takes it and fills it accordingly.? This way, neither of the
chefs is bogged down the whole time and all orders are completely quicker.? This
is the essence of load-balancing.

Help with a Vista Computer.
By: elliot | 18-06-2008
A friend is trying to hook up a Numark CDMIX1 DJ CD Mixer to his computer. It has a preamp in it. I told him all he needs is 1.) A stereo RCA to 1/8 inch jack Y-Adapter to hook into Line-In and 2) A program that will process the music (play and record). How does that sound? Well, he went out and bought a M-Audio from Radio Shack and in trying to install it, he X'd out the speaker symbol in the tool bar. He has no sound. He uses Vista and I want to know how to enable it. I personnally use XP so not to sure on how to do that or if it needs the driver reinstalled too. Thank you for any assistance anyone can offer. (Please try not to get to technical :) ) - Elliot
