    What is the best TV tuner out right now?

    I run vista x64 with 8GB of ram and I had to get rid of my well loved haaupage card because it just flat out won't work with 4GB or more of ram. The only fix for this on there website is for you to reduce the amount of ram in your computer to less than 4gb. I had to get an ATI 650 which is...

    What languages will be the 'norm' in say 2 years?

    but learning the fundamentals of an object oriented programing language will not. I am a Coldfusion programmer and I have picked it up on my own being a web designer by training. I found the biggest help is to get involved with the community the builds up around a technology as the best way...

    Newegg / [H]ardOCP AMD Athlon X2 5000+ Black Edition Drawing

    1) I would put it my Wifes computer so hers and mine would match 2) Phenom I already have a black edition 5000 and I love it. I would replace the 4200+ in my wifes computer with this. Lower heat and faster gaming :) http://www.lukek.ca/?page_id=2

    27 inch lcd - any recommendations?

    This might be a little out of your budget but it is very much worth the extra expense. I picked mine up at walmart (I wasn't looking for hdtv's there) for about $900 bucks and about $30 bucks for the wall mount. I use mine for HD-DVD through my Xbox360 and the picture is stunning. Also the...

    Opinions needed. Best 20-21inch widescreen gaming LCD.

    I am not going to call you a jerk or a Fan boy, I haven't tested the NEC so I can't say its better. I have tested the dell and the samsung and I know which one won. Price being an issue you can get a 2405/2407 WFP on sale for almost the same price as the NEC so justifing the cost comes into...

    Dell Latitude D820 vs. HP NC8430?

    A man walks in to the doctors and complains when ever stick my fist all the way in my mouth it hurts after.... The doctor replies, don't stick your fist in your mouth and you don't have the problem. Normally I would not defend the build quality of dell or hp but the test you suggest is due...

    Opinions needed. Best 20-21inch widescreen gaming LCD.

    I would have to say the Samsung 215TW is the winner in my book, I purchased a 2007WFP From Dell and I saw horrible banding on it as soon as I turned on my media center, it was just plain ugly. I know Dell has claimed they have fixed it but you might be playing russian Roulette if you get a A01...

    Dell Latitude D820 vs. HP NC8430?

    I have a 820 at work and it is a nice unit. I use it for video editing, web development, photoshop work, print layout, ad design and 3d modeling. The dual core is nice and the 1920x1200 LCD has very nice contrast. I have not gamed on it as it is a work pc. I have the qudro 110 NVS in my unit and...
