    Adding a third module to dual-channel mode: do-able?

    Can I add a third stick of 1GB memory to a 2GB dual-channel setup and still be able to run in dual channel mode?

    Response times in LCD TVs

    Would one notice much of a difference between a 4ms response time and an 8ms response time? My guess is that the difference is probably unnoticeable, though I could be wrong.

    Picture tube burnt out?

    I was sitting at the computer this morning when the picture suddenly got distorted and then disappeared in the blink of an eye. I turned the monitor on and off, but the picture wouldn't return.

    Is it possible to flash a bios to support higher capacity HDs?

    My somewhat older motherboard (MSI K7N2 Delta-L) only supports HD capacities up to 160GB. Is there any way of "updating" the board to allow it to support HD's over 160GB, ie. by flashing it? Or is there no way for the capacity limit to be changed?
