    Which Vista version for a gamer?

    But none of you really answered my original question. I asked whether or not the Ultimate Edition has features that I'm overlooking that I might need for later. I mentioned that I was leaning towards the Home Premium Edition because it seems like it has all the features I want (gaming...

    Which Vista version for a gamer?

    It's crazy how fast this got off topic because of one guy's misunderstanding of an article.

    Which Vista version for a gamer?

    I'm planning to build a new rig when Vista comes out, but I'm uncertain as to which version of the OS to buy. I'm planning to create a gaming rig primarily used for gaming (obviously), basic email/internet browsing, connecting to my Xbox 360 and streaming media to it, and some other stuff us...

    32" HDTV Suggestions

    Hi. I'm currently planning to get a new HDTV, and settled with 32" as I don't need an extravagantly huge one. I have done some research, but still undecided on Plasma or LCD, probably one of those unanswerable questions. I thought I could post here and get some advice. It'll be used mostly for...

    Future of computers, diamonds or optics?

    I was suprised myself when I saw a comany's name written on the wafer as I was inspecting it with a microscope. Later on I found out other companies and was shocked.

    i hate steam

    There are vastly more people who hate Steam than those who like it. It's just weird how Valve is still using a system that the majority of their customers hate.

    Future of computers, diamonds or optics?

    There are a few companies that are trying to make gem-quality diamonds, a couple are mentioned on the article I posted above. Take a look at it, it's pretty interesting. And it's not really that the artificial diamond business have dealings with De Beers, it's because De Beers is doing their...

    Problem with windows media player

    Try this, it's one of two codecs I have installed, and I can play everything that I have downloaded. The other is a subtitle codec, but it's rarely used.

    Question about Batteries

    I am not entirely sure, but I have heard this problem come up, such as cell phones for example. It is a cause of concern actually, and some government official pointed it out (sorry can't remember who and when).
