I transfer my desktop to my 32" sony Tv using an s-video cable but I would like to get the image to look better. Specifically, what frequency refresh is best for a TV? When I watch things from my computer now on my tv, there is a visible "scanning" effect on the image.

up

anyone else?

I'm getting my new system soon and before I start installing all the aps I use, transfering data from my old machine, setting preferences, etc. I wanted to know if their are some basic tips for sucessful softaware installation, software management, keeping things running smoothly, etc.? I...

I can't decide between these similarly priced, high-quality aluminum cases. The Lian-Li has been around for much longer and therefore has tons of glowing reviews but the newer SilverStone looks a little nicer - imo the lian-li fan grills on the front look a little cheap. However, the Lian-Li has...

So, in general, 256MB of on board DDR is no better than 128 MB? What's the reason for doubling it?

thanks for the comments guys but can someone give there thumbs up AND answer my video question?

If I go with the 3500+, would a 9800 Pro All-In-Wonder be a good high-end choice for a multimedia video card? The All-In-Wonder has 128 MB DDR but there is also a 9800 Pro with 256 MB. Is it a big difference? Is the amount of DDR mainly a gaming issue?

I have been flip flopping back and forth between these 3 processors. The computer is for audio/video editing, dvd authoring/burning and other desktop type stuff. I'm not playing any games on it or doing any overclocking. The P4 is appealing with the hyperthreading and what not, but: - How...

Ok. If I go with the 478 what would be a good mobo? I'm gonna have 2 GB of regular DDR 3200 ram, two SATA hard drives, 2 optical drives, an audigy card and maybe a 9800pro. The rig is for audio/video editing plus desktop use...I'm not a gamer and I'm not gonna do any overclocking. Any suggestions?

I'm a little confused about the differences btwn these two sockets...Does LGA 775 only support DDR2 memory or can it use regular DDR? Is PCIe compatability one of the differences or is that not even a factor yet?

I should clarify some stuff. Just because I'm not gaming, doesn't mean my needs are the same as Average Joe Dell user. This rig isn't just to "watch movie files, listen to MP3s, and surf the internet." Yes, I will be doing those things but I am also talking about video editing, audio editing...

Ok. I think I'll get a cheaper video card and only 1GB of RAM. If I don't mind spending the money on the AMD processor though, will a 3500+ still be good for what I am going to do? I mean, isn't 64 bit processing appealing even to non-gamers? It seems that the 3500+ would be at least as good at...
