    Vista Enterprise installation

    I currently have XP Pro, and I can boot Vista Enterprise from DVD just fine, but when I go to install Vista, it just has a "Install Now" button, whereas XP used to let you delete the current partition and create a new partition. Should I just "Install Now", or should I do something in XP before?

    Logitech X-530 rear speaker setup... (pics!)

    For those who have the X-530 set up... For hanging the speakers to the walls, it just seems really odd to me, as well as one of my friends that Logitech would create it this way. Now according to the hang placement on the speaker, it can go either of two ways, but both ways seem a bit odd to...

    currently my dad's emachine has 1 stick of 256 PC3200. Now, I just got some new ram for myself, so now I have 2 sticks of 256 PC2100 to spare for my dad's pc. I'm going to assume that putting two sticks is much more effective, but I thought I would just make sure by running through anandtech

    RAM detection question

    I got some Kingston 3200 RAM recently, but I don't know if my mobo is recognizing it correctly. My mobo does support PC3200 (400 mhz) (I even called ASUS to make sure), yet when I open cpuz, it shows it running at only 200 mhz. I got 2 sticks of 512. Both the sticks show the same statistics...

    Sound card question

    So my computer is hooked up to the home theater in the living room via audio cables. Unfortunately, there's a horrible fuzz and I'm assuming that it's because I don't have a sound card and that I'm using on-board sound. I'm not looking for anything fancy except to remove the fuzz.
