    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?

    Headphone jack to surround sound

    So I have my computer connected to my surround sound system in the living room. In my room, I have the Logitech X-530 speakers, and the front right speaker has a headphone jack on it. So whenever I need to play music in the living room, I just take out the X-530 wires out from my...

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

    Yea, I realized that, but I guess my question from that was do I want the speakers at ear level or can I raise them, say, 4 feet above ear level?

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

    k, so the light switch is just about the same level as my head...I was thinking of putting the speaker a little to the right of the vent, and tilt it a little towards me...anyone feel I should move it a little lower or a little left or anything...

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

    ah alright thanks...the base wasnt moving, so I was scared to move it as I thought it would break, but you just gotta put a little extra torque on it to move it...one more question...

    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...

    2 sticks of PC2100 or 1 stick of PC3200?

    yay, it worked...now here's an interesting situation, should I put this extra 256 stick of PC3200 in my XP 2400+ box? It currently has two sticks of Kingston 512 PC3200. I dunno if they are dual or not though. edit: brand of the 256 stick is Nanya

    2 sticks of PC2100 or 1 stick of PC3200?

    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
