Is there any way for anyone in any other workgroup in this network to...

    Should I go Vista 32-bit or 64-bit

    Is there any particular benefit to using one or the other? Because I was thinking, if Vista is going to be the operating system that introduces me to 64-bit computing.. might as well?

    Where can i get a binary win32 installer for apache 2.2

    only binary installers i see on apache's home page are for 2.0.11 or something. But they say the best version is 2.2; only source code packages are available for this. Do i need to figure our how to compile the source code myself or can i snag a binary installer from somewhere

    Do overclocked chips really die sooner

    I've initially viewed overclocking as something stupid that just kills your cpu in a year or so, but recently i started overclocking and gave myself the excuse that people are wrong about overclocking and cpus dont really burn out, its only people trying to apply common sense to processors. But...

    Microphone amps?

    Do people make such things as microphone amps.. because I notice that using windows's "boost microphone" setting significantly reduces quality when turned on as opposed to no boost. When there no boost, you cant hear jack though.

    ATI claims that all of their DX9 GPUs can also act as PPUs

    http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/video/display/20051005202331.html I personally just think that its interesting, but not really viable at the moment.. IMO having a physics/graphics card all in one sounds a lot cheaper and efficient to use than getting a graphics card and PPU seperately

    Could it be possible that 7800GTX's price might go UP after the R520 release?

    I've been holding out on buying a 7800GTX for half a month now, but now im 85% sure the R520 will not achieve the performance which justifies it's $125 increase in price over the GTX. But if i wait till after the launch, will I get higher prices for the GTX?

    Planning to buy XFX 7800GT, unlock pipes?

    I heard you can unlock pipes, and im going to buy a 7800GT by XFX.
