    Harmony 670 remote with Xbox 360?

    Just to clarify my previous post, I added the A, B, X, and Y buttons to the LCD so they were readily accessible. Again, very easy to do.

    Harmony 670 remote with Xbox 360?

    I have the 670 and it works perfectly with the 360 with very little effort. I did have to customize the LCD so that it displays the four face buttons for easy access, but this is easily done and is strictly a matter of personal preference. 670 is all in all a great remote.

    Equalizer for X-Fi or Windows Itself ?

    I second Puffnstuff. Youppax is the only way to go with an x-fi in vista. I don't mess with ALchemy (only have 2.1 speakers) so I don't know if there is any added benefit in gaming.

    Vista CPU score?

    I have a s939 amd x2 4400+ at 2.6, which translates to the same specs as an FX-60 at stock speeds. My CPU score is a 5.2 - the lowest score in my system.

    Vista video corruption

    I can't offer any help, but I can tell you that you're not alone. The common denominator (other than Vista) seems to be a 7900GT, which I also use.

    Will I need a new PSU for an 8800GTX?

    I'll soon be outfitting the rig in my signature with an 8800GTX or comparable card from AMD/ATi. I am guessing my 520w power supply won't get the job done, and I'm considering upgrading to the Corsair 620w PSU to be better-equipped for the new video card. Any thoughts on whether or not the new...

    Serious business = Vista and Audio!

    This may be somewhat off-topic, but anyone owning an X-Fi and using Vista: I highly recommend the you-pax Vista software for X-Fi. It's basically a modded version of the original Creative CD that comes with the x-fi, but it works for Vista. This software puts the once-crippled x-fi...

    Question: Why has Apple STILL not fixed the quicktime bug that ruins playback from a SATA HD in Windows Vista???

    WTF is wrong with Apple?

    My big problem with iTunes on Vista deals with the video playback -- its absolutely horrible. I haven't had any problems w/music playback or iPod sync, but the video playback is so choppy and slow that it is unwatchable, and I'm not exaggerating. I have a good comp too - 2gigs of ram, FX60...

    Command & Conquer 3 [Official Thread]

    The IGN review seems to confirm that while the game is very good, there are definitely balance issues. GDI seems to be way too powerful in the late game, a la Mammoth Tanks. They also say EA is working on a balancing patch that will be out soon.

    Vista & Nvidia Drivers

    Nforce drivers are fine...just change your graphics drivers. Linkage: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x86_101.41.html EDIT: I also installed the AMD dual-core optimizer on my vista rig, but to be honest I don't know if it made much difference....just a thought.

    Vista & Nvidia Drivers

    With your setup, you should install the 101.41 beta drivers WITHOUT QUESTION. Those are the best drivers around at this point for any Nvidia card, and the fact that you have SLI makes it even more important you go with these, as they're the first drivers to enable SLI in Vista. They're very...

    shrinking a partition in vista

    The program you are looking for is called GParted. It is a non-destructive disk partitioning tool that can shrink a pre-existing partition. I recently used it to shrink my existing Vista partition (the only one on my HDD) so I could dual boot to XP. It's Linux based, so you'll need to...

    Best 939 Mobo out there?

    If you're going with a DFI lanparty, go ahead and spring for the Expert. More PCI slots, better OC options, better board layout in general. Just MHO.

    Academic - Vista Home Premium Upgrade

    To be honest I'd probably return it if they contacted me, but not because I'd feel guilty. I just wouldn't want to deal with the hassle of disputing a charge on my credit card. So far only one charge though...

    Academic - Vista Home Premium Upgrade

    Very similar to my experience. Their customer support people just don't know what's going on over there. They were courteous enough but that company just doesn't have its act together. That being said, $70 for a full retail version of Home Premium (if you do the workaround) is a fantastic...

    Academic - Vista Home Premium Upgrade

    Mine finally showed up yesterday, which was a pleasant surprise considering I NEVER got my tracking number. Shipped from TN. Vista is pretty awesome...I like it more than I expected. Everything works fine, but RAID was a bit of a hassle to set up. Thus ends my first and last...

    Academic - Vista Home Premium Upgrade

    CampusTech is a joke. I have called them 3 times this week, and each time they have told me mine shipped "yesterday." But, they can't give me a tracking number. Today my status finally changed to "shipped," still no tracking number. I called on Monday, they said my package shipped the...

    Academic - Vista Home Premium Upgrade

    I ordered on the 24th and mine hasn't shipped yet. I called CampusTech on Monday to cancel the order when I thought you couldn't do a clean install with the upgrade -- they said it couldn't be canceled because it had already shipped. Pretty obvious to me now that they were jerking me around...

    Academic - Vista Home Premium Upgrade

    Does indeed seem too good to be true. I can't verify this but I've read on other forums that the upgrade discs WILL NOT BOOT, thus rendering this workaround useless. I'll certainly try this when my disk comes in and will post the results.

    Academic - Vista Home Premium Upgrade

    That's also my understanding. So, because this is retail, it can be transferred to a different motherboard, but it can only be running on one system at a time.

    Free Windows Vista Business & Office Professional 2007 ?

    Upon review of the pics posted on Neowin, it looks like the Vista packages are shipping via USPS First Class Mail from Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. You can calculate the estimated delivery time from Brooklyn Park zip code (FYI: 55428) to your own by going to USPS.com and clicking on "Calculate...

    Free Windows Vista Business & Office Professional 2007 ?

    You can't....Family pack is only available for retail licenses, and if you upgrade from the free Business to Ultimate, your license will be "downgraded" to OEM license.

    Windows Vista 32-Bit Home Premium in stock

    Everyone please note that this is the OEM version and not the retail, and thus its license has restricted transfer rights.
