Yeah, doesn't work in this universe.

Older TVs are generally in the area of 640x480 resolution, so the image quality is a limitation of the TV, not of the connection type; not much that can be done about it.

The iaudio line might be worth looking at too. I don't have any personal experience with their HDD players, but have had great luck with the D2 and Iaudio7.

Not going to happen.

Honestly, I think Vista is a much better operating system than XP, but DX10 is one of the less compelling reasons to go with Vista, there are no DX10 exclusive games, and relatively little visual difference in DX9 and DX10.

I'm in, as per usual.

DVI is the way to go for LCD monitors, no worries about cable quality.

Can't be done, what's the model number?

I have an SUV - Jeep Liberty ... unless gas get up to $6-$7gal I can't see myself getting something smaller. we go camping, canoeing, 4x4'n usally two weekends per month in the summer May-Sept.. I dont know how i would fit all that gear into a small Kia Rio. much less strap a canoe to the top. I ca...

If a machine has lots of RAM and processing cores, then stripping down XP won't make anywhere near as much difference (maybe even no difference) as it would if the machine is slow and has limited RAM. Bingo. If you check total CPU time for Windows services, it's quite low, even not taking into acco...

Are you using both monitors? Is the 9800GX2 in SLI mode, and is it your only card?

Gas is around $3.80 USD/gallon or $1.30 CAD/L here. It's been significantly more expensive is USD/gallon (>$6 gallon, IIRC) in the past, when the USD was worth more, but this is pretty much the highest it's ever been in the actual CAD/L that we use. I don't spend much on gas, I drive a bike, which i...

You could copy it to a ramdrive... google "ramdrive" for explanations.

To be honest though, you're not going to see much, if any, difference in performance in games using a ramdrive in most gaming situations.

I am confused whether I need a 64bit OS for Intel dual core processor, which is a 64bit CPU I assume, or not. I know I want XP and not Vista, please advise which is better for gaming and general usage: XP Pro or XP Pro x64. i'd stay away from 64-bit XP Pro. a lot of discontent with that OS due to p...

My motherboard from 2005 supports new GPUs. My motheboard from 2005 does not support quad cores CPUs.

Easy answer for me.

8 hours (overnight) while testing overclocks, minimum 24 hours when I think I've settled on a clock for 24/7 use. I generally reboot my PC monthly, so it needs to be damn stable for that entire time, regardless of what I'm doing with it. No screenies, but I've forgotten about prime running in the pa...

This is just a product refresh, similar to the 8800 GTS G80 -> 8800 GTS G92.

It' not intended as an upgrade for anyone who already has a high end 8800 series card.

One of my favorites, Mass Effect, isn't even available on the PC. It will be. :) The minimum requirements for Assassin's Creed aren't that bad, any good computer from the last couple years should be able to meet them. The issue comes when "minimum" looks like crap, and nobody is able to r...

Nice, classy looking, looks to be of quality build too.

I haven't yet been able to justify the cost of a real nice watch for myself, this is the one I generally wear:

Sitting around!?!?! I wish I had spare cards like that :P Dan Hahah, ironically, I don't even need close to this much power. I was doing fine with my 7900GT, but it got to the point where it was artifacting severely even on the desktop. So I bought an 8800 GTS to replace it, and rma'd the card to B...
