    731MHz P3 enough for a HTPC?

    I second getting a Hauppauge card. The hardware encoding makes a big difference especially on slower CPUs. Letting the card handle the recording will free your CPU to do other things and is the best way to go for PVR type stuff. The quality on hardware encoding is usually much better too.

    The say something nice in appreciation of women thread

    I see the 8-13 year old demographic is well represented. I agree 100% on women ruling the world. Just look at all the slobering going on here as soon as someone starts talking about them. ;)

    How do I burn a 685 meg .avi into a dvd player readable format?

    AVIs --> DVD-R for set-top DVD player?

    Take a look at dvd2svcd. The name is misleading since it will do dvd2svcd, avi2dvd and dvd2dvd. It works quite well with minimal work.

    Would you vote for a gay politician if he could do the job?

    Wow. This is such a loaded question that has nothing to do with voting. It might as well be "Do you hate gay people?" Ridiculous.

    So if we can go to Mars

    Everyone who says they don't see why we should go to mars or do any space exploration is showing how humans are stagnating. Everyone who says we should only be focusing on problems here at home is showing how short sighted humans are becoming on large issues. Do you only worry about making your...

    can running a monitor above the manufacturer recomended refresh rates really damage it?

    Guess your questions probably already been answered. But any recent monitor will just not display if it gets a signal out of its range. I do remember back when it was a problem(especially with non-multisync) and you would get some crazy displays/sounds when trying different a refresh.

    Which HD for video editing.

    Sort of depends on how your using them. Either should be good enough for DV/Mpeg-2 level stuff. You might want to run/find some benchmarks on both. HDTach is a good basic test. External is good if you ever plan on moving stuff around on other machines.
