System Builder Tip: Some vendor links that are really handy...

Here are some of the more frequent hardware and software vendor's links that we visit daily:

Microsoft:

• Microsoft Update
• Microsoft Downloads
• Microsoft Support Knowledge Base
• Small Business Server Home
• Microsoft TechNet
• Microsoft Partner Site
• Canadian Small Business Specialist Community
• United States Small Business Specialist Community - Click on Exclusive Content to enter.

From Intel:

• Server Configurator/Builder
• Processor Finder
• Intel Reseller Portal
• DownloadFinder

The server configurator is a real help for creating custom configurations for servers. The Processor Finder will find pretty much any processor Intel makes with the exception of engineering samples. The Download Finder will do just that, BIOS, drivers, and everything and anything else that can be downloaded for Intel products.

Here are some other sites we visit frequently:

• Kingston Memory
• Toshiba Laptop Warranty Validation
• Acer Canada English
• Seagate Partner Program
• Symantec Corporate/Enterprise Licensing
• Symantec Partner Program

There are a few others, but these ones are the most frequented. We also have a good chunk of RSS feeds that we monitor daily. They will be added to the Blogs links as I have the time!
