    Microsoft Windows XP Professional 64 Edition

    I agree that real world use does not involve 4GB memory. But, still I'd like to see if there would be a significant difference. Who knows? By this time next year, 2GB memory may be typical in performance systems. Last year, 512MB was a lot of memory. Besides, a lot of folks playing on the...

    Microsoft Windows XP Professional 64 Edition

    Since Friday,I have a dual boot with WinXP Pro and Win XP 64bit. It works just fine, and setup works almost identically with WinXP. 32-bit software will install and run in Win 64. You do need hardware drivers. The first thing I installed was Far Cry for Win 64. It runs great. However, I...

    Proposed HTPC hardware up for review

    Note that the Epox has only three PCI slots. This may be significant if you want three TV tuners because all TV tuner cards are on PCI cards, not PCIe. All of which means you may have to ditch the HAD Digital X-Mystique sound card, unless it comes on a PCIe card and is supported in WMCE 2005...

    16:9 Question

    As the other dudes said, the AIW is not supported in Windows Media Center Edition 2005. This doesn't mean that you can't get it to work. Do a Google search for "Kram Drivers", and use those to install in WMCE. Be warned, the PQ of the standard TV from the AIW will not be very good. In addition...

    27" HDTV shopping

    The Sanyo Vizon models are very good sets. Only the 30" is wide screen whereas the 27" and 32" are standard 4:3 aspect ratio. Unfortunately, you can only get them from WalMart. Also, I heard that the 30" model is going to be discontinued. Of the three, I'd get the 30" wide screen.

    Is Windows XP MCE 2005 Any Good??????

    1680 x 1050 is a very unusual resolution, and it's pretty close to wide screen but not exactly. You must have a different version of of Doom3 than I do because I can't find it in the video settings. Here are the video resolutions available in my copy of Doom3: 640 x 480, 800 x 600, 1024 x...

    Is Windows XP MCE 2005 Any Good??????

    Doom3 and Call of Duty have wide screen resolutions? The off the shelf copies of these two do not come with wide screen resolutions. However, I've heard that there are mods to generate wide screens for some of the games you list that do not support wide screen displays. In addition, I have...

    27" HDTV shopping

    Want to get a reburbished? Check out this Philips 30" wide screen TV with DVI input. 540$US. This is a flat screen direct view TV, not a flat panel LCD TV. Link to Philips store Because it has a DVI input doesn't necessarily mean that you can hook up a PC to it. You should call...

    Is Windows XP MCE 2005 Any Good??????

    Now, you're talking Windows Media Center Edtion 2005 talk when you ask about TV cards. Microsoft did an excellent job in making WinXP Pro do media. I am writing this message from 7 feet away from my 30" LCD TV using a wireless keyboard and mouse. The HardOCP webpage is spread across the...
