    5770: stable or not?

    I'd like to upgrade my 8800 GTS to an HD 5770 but I'm concerned about some reports of general system stability with drivers. What do you think? I'd be willing to spend a bit more if I was sure I'd have more chance of success, but my choices seem limited. Rest of my system: E6600, P5K, 2GB...

    is my new LCD defective? Ghosting problem (video inside)

    It's a new Samsung 931bw LCD but there are some issues with ghosting (or lag, whatever you call it) in certain situations: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Twa4rYuLpXU It's not terribly obvious but kind of annoying when I see it. Would you return this unit?

    8500GT + 8800GTS together, possible?

    Is it possible to use a 8500 GT simultaneously with a 8800 GTS in XP/Vista: use both cards at once for multi monitor in Windows desktop; use the 8800 GTS for games; and use the 8500 GT for h.264-acceleration for movies? Nvidia's driver page for 8800 GTS states that it supports 8500 GT.

    I need quad monitor support. Right now I use dual monitors with an Nvidia AGP card (GF4). Will drivers likely be an issue if I drop a cheap ATI PCI videocard with dual video ports (eg Radeon 7000) into the system in order to get quad monitor support? Or does Nvidia make dual-head PCI cards?

    how to remember login passwords for remote drives?

    My Windows XP (MCE 2005) prompts me to re-enter the login user name and password for remote hard drives whenever I try to access them after each reboot. Is there a way to make the system remember the password so that I don't have to type it in every time? There is no "remember the password"...

    In Internet Explorer in the past I could have a menu bar containing links to commonly used websites. This is still available for Firefox too. But now with IE7 this doesn't seem possible. Is there a way to access websites in IE7 by just one click from inside the browser?
