    anyone know how I can get the old or "classic" windows solitaire on windows 7?

    Got it working. You just need to get sol.exe and cards.dll from an XP machine from the system32 folder and keep them in the same folder on the windows 7 machine. I tried this before I posted, it wasn't working when I put those files in windows 7's system32 folder.

    can you think of any way to get a q-see surveillance system display on an iphone?

    ViRGE: Yes I was thinking along those lines as well but I have no idea how I would access whatever other way it is sending the streams out. The company does make a proprietary windows app so you don't have to use IE in windows, but there is no way i can figure to get the video from it...

    Vista X64 or 32bit, Which is better

    i don't know, i am running 64bit and there is no x-fi support. so i may switch to 32bit later. i have heard people say that 32bit is faster at this point but i haven't seen any numbers anywhere to confirm this

    on the creative forums there are people that have tried many many different driver sets and install procedures to no avail for x-fi on 64bit vista build 5384. creative has always had terrible driver support; their vista beta driver is 6 months old. i guess we will have to wait until creative...

    2007WFP gradient banding

    i agree with you, it looks dirty like a film is on the screen. my friends rear projection HDTV is the same way, i told him he should clean it then i realized thats how its supposed to be; the 2007 is very similar to that. was the 2005 any different? i do think its better than the glossy...

    What's the BEST LCD Monitor I can get for ~$650?

    where did you get the NEC from zebo? Also i see that there is a 20WMGX2-BK which is apprently supposed to be black, although the picture on NEC's website shows a silver monitor with just a black speaker bezel, do you know if the 20WMGX2-BK is really all black?

    turn your A8N32-SLI upside down

    I think i may actually spring for the X1900XT . What do you all think, 2x 74 gig raptors or one 150gb raptor? Or on the other hand i could downgrade a bunch of components and go with a 24" monitor instead of 20". I would like to keep the budget under around $2500. I am having trouble...

    turn your A8N32-SLI upside down

    nice setup you have yourself... does the case still look cool sitting upsidedown? are you running those raptors in RAID? i was going with the 7800GT because of the price/performance, and i figured i could add a second one for pretty cheap after the 7900 is out. I know its not due out until...

    Will someone with an Asus A8N32-SLI in a normal case please do me a humongous favor by running a test with your case upsidedown to see if the temperature on the motherboard (northbridge and southbridge) changes much at all. I am considering mounting the board in an inverted case and on forums...
