    question about vbulletin

    k thanks...so, if an admin wanted to remove threads/posts like they never existed (and no record of even the subject line),, they could ? Would the only record of the subject be in the log, but could even that log file be edited ?

    Paragon alignment question

    To use for aligning an ssd after installing operating system, question on the integrity check policy "always/once/never", does that only refer to the alignment process itself today ? or will that affect how windows will eventually run when its all installed, on a day to day basis ? thanks

    1080 mkv files, which filesize is easiest for the cpu to play?

    thank you, do you know how to make sure h264 is enabled in the nvidia control panel ? (or vlc/media player). i think the best way forward from here is new motherboard ;)

    1080 mkv files, which filesize is easiest for the cpu to play?

    ah ok thanks. So bigger filesize isn't less unpacking required, it's more detail presented to the cpu/gfx card to work on. Right now an athlon xp3000+/geforce 7600GS agp, I think going to an i3-2100 soon (i3-2105 seems to have faster graphics, but cant find it in UK searches)

    1080 mkv files, which filesize is easiest for the cpu to play?

    I don't know exactly how it works, I'm guessing a small filesize will require more cpu power to decode the image, and a larger filesize requires less, because more of the image is already 'there' ? So with a low power system (AMD based PC), a large filesize would be better for smooth playback?

    motherboard to play 1080 video

    Cheers thanks. I'm using xp at the moment. This could only support 2 cpu's of any system i chose? (say i3, a6 or a8) so I could use xp with the i3, but not the a6/8 ? i'd need windows 7 to use all of the a6/8 ?

    motherboard to play 1080 video

    thanks so (price permitting, want to keep cpu/mbd/mem below £200) for integrated amd i could go say a6, which would leave me with fairly fast cpu, graphics, and possibility of going to pci-e later athlon II x2 or x4 bundle for medium cpu and pci-e gfx phenom II x2 or x4 for high end cpu and...

    motherboard to play 1080 video

    so, phenom (II) is faster, but llano has the integrated gpu, and both should be ok for 1080, with phenom being a bit overkill ah this is good. (scuse link ?) http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-overclocking,3052-5.html so the Ax's are llano ok so what it comes down to is, eg the...

    Getting 'hd' mkv to play just a little bit smoother

    I've got an athlon 3000+/geforce 3 system (few years...yes), 720 res. video on the best settings I've tried is just not quite smooth yet. I'm using the onboard audio. Would a sb live! (aye....old system) take the mp3 load away from the onboard audio for a bit extra cpu power to the movie decoding ?
