    Minimum CPU for Youtube 4K?

    I have an i3-2100, 8GB. Win7 Assume I have a 4k monitor, display port, and a graphics card that supports 4k. What is the minimum CPU I need to download, then watch Youtube 4k videos using VLC or some other software program? If I have a graphics card that supports 4k, does the cpu matter? If so...

    i3 2100 & video card or an i5 2500

    Looks like I'll go the i3 route. The i5-2400, ~$190, is almost double the price of the i3 and I don't think I'll see the difference. Thanks.

    i3 2100 & video card or an i5 2500

    If I spend $200, what would be better: an i3 2100 plus a $100 video card(maybe a 6770 or better. Missed the newegg sale.) or an i5 2500k using the Intel HD Graphics 3000? Probably will get 8GB ram($35), and a MB for $75 - $100. I've read that the i5 is all the rage, but is it overkill...

    HP touchpad tablet $99

    I tried everything to get it as mention on that other website, but couldn't get it to work. Then tried LiveChat, waited about 30 minutes, and he said they would credit my CC when it ships. So I ordered it. But at $400, my tax was $28.00 :(. Hope they credit that too, otherwise I may refuse the...

    Windows 7: Highlighted files become unhighlighted

    I went from XP to Windows 7 64-bit. I sort my videos by size, pick about 4GBs to burn to a DVD. I then sort by Name so I may add some text files about the larger files. But as soon as I click on Name, the highlighted files become unhighlighted. Am I missing something? Am I doing something...

    External hard drive limitations

    But does that mean I can't partition the HD into two smaller partitions each less than 300GB, to avoid that limit?

    External hard drive limitations

    It's a Bytecc ME-350U (USB 2.0) enclosure. Purchased about 5 years ago. I wrote years ago to the manufacturer and they said it wasn't possible to upgrade the firmware to accommodate larger drives. edit: It's for IDE HD.

    External hard drive limitations

    I have an External Hard Drive enclosure that supports HDD up to 300GB. If I partition a 500GB HD into two partitions of 250GB each, will the external enclosure be able to see both of these partitions as 250GB each? Thanks

    Target: Pepsi, 12 pk, $2 OTD

    Link still works for me. But today, I don't get the Swiss Miss coupon, and I never got the $1 off Pepsi coupon. Target must be using our IP addy to give out regional coupons. :( It's also creepy that after turning off my PC for the night and having FF delete my cookies, at the Target website it...

    How do I get rid of the Locks on a Folders?

    I'm really starting to hate Win7. Why is there a lock on some of the folders? When I go to C/programs/xnews, I don't even see a folder named Downloads, just internet. But when using Xnews, I see a whole bunch of folders and files, some with locks on them. I've tried to take ownership of...

    cheap mp3 player with FM radio?

    It isn't. A friend wants the nano for FM reception, he also wants the ipod Touch. I think it's a waste of money to buy the nano for 150. So i figured if all he wants at certain times is the FM radio, an mp3 player for about $40, should be good enough. But it needs to have excellent reception...

    cheap mp3 player with FM radio?

    Anyone know of a cheap, $30 - $50, mp3 player, besides the nano, that gets excellent FM radio reception? I want the radio to play through the earbuds, not to a receiver. If I buy an ipod Touch, could a software/firmware update give me FM radio? Thanks

    Does avast antivirus update under Win7 UAC?

    I just started using Win7 today. Skipped Vista. When I update Avast antivirus, I get the UAC prompt, but is there something I can do so avast can update automatically without me having to do it manually? Or does this prompt only show up when I force avast to upgrade? Thanks

    I like to change my avatar with the seasons. Especially Xmas time. Is it just me, or are the fonts here HUGE. My eyes hurt.

    Vista License question

    About two years ago I did a survey for MS. I got 2 Vista Ultimate DVDs. One 32-bit, the other 64-bit. Not for resale. They each have a different product key. Is that also true on MS' end? I want to use the 32-bit to upgrade to 7, and keep the 64-bit Vista. Is that legal and possible? Thanks
