Cool, thanks, Danny

I'm thinking about getting a USB 3 card for my computer. The motherboard is an Asus P5E WS Pro. If I get the card with an external hdd that is USB 3, will I get that full speed considering my motherboard is 4 years old with USB 2? I havent kept up with hardware and such in a while.

I'm a bit confused about this. Sorry if posted already. I recently purchased and installed a Lite On blu ray SATA drive. My video card and monitor are both HD. I have the dvi-hd cord connecting them. Would it be possible to view the movies in bluray if monitor and video card are HD?

Ok, I got it. I should have checked the gamma in the video area of my video card software. I feel so dumb for not checking that. :(

I ended up having to reformat my drive this past weekend. That seemed to fix the problem of dvd's not playing. Now, they will play without stalling up my system. But, the problem I'm having now is the picture is really dark and not choppy.

I can't seem to get my dvd's to play. Computer slows to a crawl when I try. I can play games and others cd's, but not dvds. I have two dvd drives and tried both with the same problem. I have a Sony 710a and Samsung SH-S182M on an AMD64 3700+, Gigabyte GA-k8u-939 2 gigs of RAM, Creative Sound...

I think it also has to do with Linux being open-source and Windows being closed-source. Also people contributing their own software and making better of the programs already out there for Linux. Plus, Linux is generally smaller and not at bloated as Windows.
