    External TV Tuner Assistance

    In my time as a college student, I've turned into something of a space-saving nut. So I appreciate any help you guys can offer on this subject; I'm afraid I don't know a whole lot about video in general. I'm looking into buying a new laptop, and I'd like to be able to watch network...

    6800 GS AGP Difficulties

    My new 6800 GS AGP would crash my PC after five seconds of playing a game, so tech support told me to flash my BIOS to the newest version and reinstall Windows. I did both of these things, and the card still crashed after approximately five seconds in any game--and anywhere from 10 minutes to...

    Partition/Hard Drive/Computer/Windows Problem

    Alright, this is somewhat complicated, so bear with me while I explain. My computer, for the past few weeks, has been taking longer and longer to boot up. Fearing that the hard drive might be going, I bought a new one with the purpose of backing up the data I wanted to keep. This I...

    [Request] A favor from a Morrowind owner.

    Morrowind is one of those games that I bought but never really devoted much time to, but I've recently decided to reinstall it. The problem is that my CD is scratched, and two of the videos (out of the six on the CD) are unreadable. This is a problem because Morrowind uses these videos at...

    MSI Mega Stick 512mb MP3 player $70 shipped

    http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=383216 Seems like a pretty darn good deal on an MP3 player with so many functions - a screen, FM radio and recording, integrated USB connector, voice recording, hell, even a flashlight. ZZF also has the 1gb version for $120 -- not...

    Laptop Power Concerns

    I'm studying abroad in France in January, and I'm concerned about frying my laptop. Is this all I need? I'm concerned because it says that it works "without a complicated power conversion," and as far as I know, power has to be converted in order for it to work in US electronic devices...

    MSDOS Command Question

    I know that you can set Windows to associate a program with another. For example, when you double click an MP3 it opens Winamp. Is there any way to specify that you want to open a file with a certain program from the command line? Something along the lines of "a.mp3 > c:\program...

    Headphone Help

    I ran a few searches, and it seems like there's a new headphone thread every week. My appologies for adding another one, but my needs are rather specific, and I'd like to be absolutely sure I'm getting decent cans before shelling out my money. Basically, I want headphones that block outside...

    v.92 Modem Question

    One of the highly touted features of the v.92 specification is v.44 data-compression. I've only been able to find this compression on software modems. All hardware modems use the old, v.42bis compression despite claiming to support the v.92 specification. Is there any reason why the new...

    Just curious as to what everyones's favorite Linux distributions are, and, of course, why. (I'm looking to set up Linux on my other partition, just to tool around with it.)

    C# and C++

    I've done a bit of research on these two languages, but have been unable to discern whether C# has the tools available in C++ for building GUI's. If so, does it retain the speed of C++ in this arena (Windows applications)?

    Java Programming Help (beginner)!

    Alright, I'll admit, this is for an assignment that's due tomorrow. I *think* that I know how to do it, but Java is giving me an error on something that I'm *almost* completely sure is right. Without letting anyone help me cheat on my program, here's the snippet that's irking me...

    Pentium4 Temperature Question...

    I'm running on a 2.26 ghz P4 on the 533 mhz FSB, and I'm a little concerned that my CPU temperature could be higher than normal. Specifically, I think I may have applied too much thermal grease, so I'm wondering what temperature people are attaining while using Intel's stock heat sink fans. My...

    VIA P4X-400 and DDR400...

    I just finished building a 2.26 ghz P4 system on the Soyo P4X-400 Dragon Ultra motherboard. I have a 512 mb stick of Corsair XMS DDR400 C2. The PC will not boot when I clock the memory to its full speed, that being 200 mhz. I understand that the site administrators have had similar problems...
