    hazerds of running computers ungrounded?

    Yes, the neutral and ground are both ultimately connected to earth ground, but the ground ground is supposed to be a seperate pathway for certain non-standard operating conditions that could involve electric current through your body otherwise. So it's not entirely safe to defeat the ground...

    Is Optical out better than the S/PDIF out?

    I don't see why there would be any digital to analog conversion for optical. I think some people are either misinformed or using the wrong terminology. Fiber optics transmit digital signals. Transmitting a digital signal as light OR electricity is not a digital to analog conversion. The...

    No more Windows Updates for pirated XP.

    You're the one not making a distinction between them. Copying software harms no one directly. (Yes, it can harm programmers indirectly. I don't consider corporations or CEOs entities capable of being harmed.) There are so many bits in the world they can be considered infinite, and a nearly...

    Win2K Pro sp4 vs WinXP Pro

    I personally prefer XP for two reasons, first, XP can start up much faster than 2000. I don't like to leave my computer on all the time because it's a waste of power. Second and most importantly, XP has ClearType. It seems to me that most people either love or hate ClearType, or simply don't...

    *(~)* Ati Flagship *(~)*

    He said he was building a new system... I would just get the X850 XT PE if the price is right. In fact that's what I did, I got one for $499 after waiting 2 months for the X800 XL which is still about 25% over MSRP. At the worst you can sell it if ATI comes out with something amazing soon...

    Question About Tv Tuners

    I wanted to get one of those Dvico HDTV tuners with 2 inputs...but they're all discontinued and replaced with a 1 input version! What the hell is that? There's only one place where I can even find them for sale. Where did you buy yours? And are you using the included software for those caps...

    How Long Do You Expect Before 6800GT PCI-E Prices To Come Down...

    I doubt it's an error. Last week you could have bought a PCI-E GT from Monarch for $410 US. And obviously the first thing you should do when you see a low price is to email them telling them it's not expensive enough, I'm sure that's the best way to stop retailers from overcharging. :rolleyes:

    Question about core/memory interface - 128bit vs. 256bit

    Listen to what people are saying. No, it has nothing to do with the video card, and 128- 256- is completely irrelevant in 2D. WINDOWS is responsible for that drawing, i.e., it's done in software. The video card just takes what Windows gives it and sticks it onscreen in 2D. Any VGA compatible...
