    Must I use the software that comes with the TV Tuner to watch tv? Or I can just use the TV Tuner to get the connection and watch the content in other softwares?

    I just checked. That Asus 7135 spec says it's Philips NTSC or PAL. So I think it supports both. How about this MSI card here Do you think it's better than the Asus?

    Why use screensaver?

    How does it save your screen? Or does it? I heard if you keep showing the same desktop with the monitor turns on, then it's bad, so they use screensaver. Can anyone explain why screensaver is useful? I use LCD monitor.

    I want a computer for web surfing and msn msgr.

    I have Norton on once it loads Windows. I guess I need to fix that. But I'm picky, I click a PDF on web and it takes me 7 sec to load, I view a folder as thumbnails with 1000 icons in it and it takes forever to load them all. I can't stand those. Aww.. It sounds like I need a Raptor instead...
