I have a collection of short films in a series of folders that I want to generate a menu for- in the easiest and quickest manner. If it was just one small project/only a few movies, I could just break out notepad and do it all in html, but this is a bunch of projects with quite a few...

File > Options > Which Tab? I scoured the options and found nothing relating to ISO capabilities. I'm working with Nero 7 Ultra.

Ratman6161, is that ATA33 slower with everything you do? Do web pages take forever to load? I went with the Bigfoot because it seemed like a quality drive, but I have other alternatives. Thanks to my penchant for grabbing PCs from the side of the street on garbage day, I have a pretty large...

He needs a dual core processor for surfing, email and word processing? Do you really think so?

I'm doing a build for a friend with a tight budget who's never used a PC in his life. Needless to say, he's not going to be doing anything advanced like video encoding, photo retouching or gaming. At the most I expect he'll surf, do emails and maybe a word doc or two. What's the lowest you'd go?

I'm putting together a system for a financially challenged friend, and, so far, the only drive I've been able to get my hands on is an old Quantum Bigfoot 12.9 gb ATA-33 hard drive. I'm pairing this drive with fairly respectable new components: GIGABYTE GA-MA69VM-S2 AM2 (open box) AMD...

I've been working on a home grown air compressor workaround to dusting electronics, but that's turning out to be a later rather than sooner proposition. In the meantime, these are great. Thanks OP and Chazzzer.

From the picture, they appear to be private label. Does anyone have experience with these?

It's a great price, but... I'm not sure how good I'd feel about buying memory that most likely won't last more than a year. Sure, you can return it and return it over and over again, but what effect will all this memory failure have on the integrity of your data? I might purchase a video card...

Budarow, I'm sure there's exceptions to this rule, but I've always read that the heavier the power supply is, the better the quality. The FAR Ultra PSU is the heaviest PSU I've ever handled and I've picked up quite a few. Secondly, PSU purchases are an especially risky endeavor these days...

Doe this same fee apply to those that redeem their 25,000 points for a $250 gift certificate? Great find, btw.

I can't believe that Fry's never fixed the rebate link. Here's what I got from customer service via email http://www.freewebtown.com/ent...bate/evga%20rebate.pdf P.S. My free webpage gives me limited bandwith, so this link may not stay active long. Please, if you don't need this rebate...

With DDR2 going for as low as $16 per gig (AR), DDR has a long way to go. Also, I may be wrong about this, but I've heard that DDR memory is no longer being manufactured. If this is true, the price is only going to go up as availability ebbs. So not only is DDR2 beating the pants off DDR...

DVD burning can be incredibly complicated. I've been reading as much as I can and am still a long ways from feeling like I understand it completely. Here's what I have learned so far. 1. Some players seem to like -R and some +R 2. Some burners seem to like -R and some +R It isn't...

You mean the Ultra Wizard Case, right? Yeah, that NO FREE SHIPPING was kinda scary. I get a sinking feeling that we're looking at a trend here.
