    Will virtualization let me run 2 OSs at once on a computer?

    You can run many OSs using the same platform. For exemple, I have a base Windows Vista, in it I run MS-VPC, and in that I run an ubunu linux and a windows XP. The two virtual systems operate in a window of the vista platform. Be sure to read about the type of hardware emulated as it may be...

    How to bypass USB drive lockout?

    Have you tried contacting the manufacturer? As the registered owner, I'm sure they would help you out. Even if it is a send-to-manufacturer-for-a-fee. Obviously, you may wish to check out a different vendor in the future.

    Better, Ive got VM behind me. :D However, its memorial day and the main crew is doing BBQ. I'm more curios at this point. Last time it fixed itself by reseting the bios (jumper), this time, no joy

    Does DVI cables make much of a difference?

    One thing to remember is that DVI has a digital signal (it also can have an analog in DVI-I and DVI-A). The point being is distance and attenuation. With analog the signal is going to lessen over distance due to resistance in the cable (so will digital, it will pretty much be an all or...

    Does SLi still have sound-popping issues on the 680i?

    yup I have that combination (X-Fi Extreme-Gamer) I get sound "shudder" (stalling or cutout) but not popping (crisp) on occation which makes many things really annoying. From the sound at startup to music to in-game sounds. This is in Vista only. XP works fine. So I am assuming its a creative...
