    I doubt that would work, the only diffrence betwen the english and swedish version of Internet Explorer is the language package, there's no diffrence in the actual exe. [Edited] Orginal reply a bit too wisarsed.

    Vertical Sync disable?

    For benchmarking yes, but not while you're actuly playing games. With vsync off you might experience tearing, which can be very anoying, besides you gain nothing by having a higher FPS than your screen can handel.

    Watch TV on laptop over wifi?

    Yes but live TV should be recored to a temp file on the HDD (that's how GBPvr works anyway), you can play that file (and thus watch live TV) using VLC.

    Watch TV on laptop over wifi?

    You'r TV card records to a file on the HD right? If so you can just access that file over the network and play it using VLC, works great for me. Only drawback is that you don't have any direct control over the playing, for that you'll have to use VNC or such.

    Samsung Gurantees LCD Zero Dead Pixels

    Well it's great if you live in S. Korea, which is the only place thier offering it (for now at least). Makes you wonder if they'll ship the defective LCDs to other places where they don't offer the same garantee.

    Norton Antispam thread priority

    Hi, I recently installed Norton AntiSpam and it works great except one little thing, its scanning threads have too high a priority. When scanning the ingoing mail the thread eats up so much resources that the whole computer slows down, for example if I try watching a movie at the same time it...

    Xp reactivation--How many of you have used up your five lives?

    What I can't understand is why this "feature" is there in the first place, I can't see it doing any good. I mean they have released a version that doesn't requier activation for large organisations (like universities), which version do you think is being pirated?

    Projector

    Why oh WHY is my computer so SLOW!

    I have the same system as you except 1 GB ram and the Pro version of the gfx card and I run CoD:UO at 1280x1024 with no problem. I don't remeber the exact settings, but I didn't mess with them (except the res of course) so they're the default. So it sounds like it might actuly be the ram that's...

    Prescott is HOT

    It crashes? Isn't the P4 suposed to have thermalthroteling to prevent it from crahsing? I seem to remember an article on tomshardware (ok I know, not the most reliable site out there, but at least they shouldn't lie outright) where they removed the heatsink and the computer still didn't crash...
