I just ordered a new HDTV... but I only have basic cable channels now. The new TV is a Samsung LN52A650 ... so a 52 inch with 1080P available. I have an older DVD player now... just a cheap one. Do I need to buy an up sampling DVD player or a blue-ray? Or, does my TV already up sample from...

I am also updating my BIOS... Do I need to turn off any of those annoying protection features in Vista before running @bios? It says to turn off security measures but I am not sure what this means. thanks

I am looking at a new thumb drive... I will be moving from my home computer to a work computer... also on some "public" internet cafe's when I travel overseas. What is the general thoughts on U3? Should I just load my own portable applications? If I have some apps that are not currently...
