    Thanks a lot guys. As it turns out, my built in laptop mic has been working just fine like some of you said. I'll give this a try, looks interesting.

    What microphone should I use for language learning software?

    Specifically Rosetta Stone, I know about the more popular, moderately priced mics out there like the Yeti etc. What I'd like to know is how much should I spend to get a mic that's good enough to be used with voice recognition/language learning software? Thank you.

    How can you view emojis on a desktop?

    When someone on a messageboard uses one all I see is a box with numbers inside of it. Similar to when someone uses a language you don't have installed for your OS. Any suggestions? Thanks

    $500 to spend

    Yes sir and I know. Most likely I'll purchase a used i7 920/Mobo combo for $200-$220. OS for $100. RAM for $50-$75. Haven't decided on a HSF yet(212+?). My wireless adapter and sound card are PCI. Trying to ditch at least one of them so worrying about legacy support isn't too much of a concern

    Best movie/gaming monitor under $250?

    I see now, I accidentally clicked on the U2410($599). Just read a couple of review on the U2311 and im quite impressed. This would be a very nice upgrade from a e207wfp.

    Should I wait?

    You are correct about this ram. I compiled that list a while ago when ram prices were higher. In fact 2gb x 2 ddr3 kits are going for half that now. I'll consider the 212. Thanks
