I might be wrong but I think the 3g has the same spec as the 2g version except for the "3g" internet. If it does, dont even bother with the 3g. The 3gs is sooooooo much faster. My gf's 3gs make my 2g feel like shyt. Just opening up the sms windows feels like forever.

I don't know much about it since im just a normal user. People keep on saying HTML5 is the future over flash.

I had a chance to check out the iPad at my school today and I was quite impressed with the quality and ease of use. I don't want to rant but dammm if only it had Flash! I would buy it in a heartbeat if it had flash since I think it'll be perfect for facebook games. Yeah I understand HTML5 is the...

Took me like 45 mins to get the growth egg. It was basically random luck to get death to work. I did this at beginning of Chapter 13 where you can teleport back and forth to gran pulse.

I played a team death match game yesterday that lasted more than 30 minutes on 1 map. Apparently the hacker can make it like a dedicated server. He can turn gravity on or off anytime he wants. People were flying up in the air when they jump and everyone were on speed. He was also able to change...

Ok, I did the homegroup thing and it still has the same problem. I am able to see the shared folders but cannot open it. It still has the "do not have permission to access blah blah blah" error.

What is homeshare? I dont get why this is so complicated. I remember back in windows xp, I can just set the folder to share and all the computers on the network can access to it without any additional settings.

Neither of the 2 computers require an account to login. I did set the share permission to everyone. Shouldn't that let everyone join regardless of user account?

I have a desktop and a laptop, both running Windows 7. I set up a folder to share on the desktop. The permission is set to everyone with no password. On the laptop I can see the share folder but I cannot open it. It says "you do not have permission to access//computer name//folder name...."...

Because those other laptops look fugly.... I have yet to see a nice looking windows laptop besides the voodoo envy, but those cost way more than a macbook.

Cool! I guess I'll go ahead and buy the vga adapter then.

My monitor native res is 1920x1200. However, xbox can only output up to 1920x1080. With HDMI, the image is stretched on my monitor to 1920x1200. I do not want the image to be stretched. Will the VGA cable fix this problem by allowing black bars on top and bottom?

Right now I have the xbox 360 connected to an lcd monitor at 1080p via HDMI. The problem is my lcd monitor does not support 1:1 mapping therefore the image is stretched to 16:10. If I use a VGA cable, will it allow me to get 1:1 support? I want to be able to see the black bars on top and bottom...

With that setup, don't even waste money on so called "premium" cables. Just grab the cheapest ones on monoprice and youre good to go.

Isn't that just a media player? I am looking for something similar to a windows media center but simpler and portable.

I am not sure how to word this, but is there such a thing as a portable movies browser program? I carry my external hardrive around to my friend's places often. I would like a program that can show the movies I have on the external. The program will show the movie's information (movie poster...

Thank you all! I was using media player classic home cinema so all I had to do was tell the DTS decoder to send it through SPDIF. It works like a charm now.

I will try this method when I get home from work. I only want it for movies watching.

Yeah I will eventually get 5.1 setup. I just wanted to test the concept of the center first before i buy extra speakers. So far, not so good.. =(

I have the asus P5Q Pro motherboard. Cant the receiver encode DTS if the soundcard doesn't?

I guess I'll buy the DTS pack for the X-FI. But what if I want to use the macbook's digital output or my mobo's digital output? How will I do it then?

Sorry for being a complete noob, but all the suggestions has made me completely lost. Can you guys noob it down? I always thought 3.1 was pretty common so it should be supported. If I use my mobo spdif, would that make it easier to set up? The x-fi has too many settings. For media playback, I...

It works fine and everything in every mode, but only plays it has stereo only. And that suck, I have to buy something to enable 5.1 sound for the x-fi? I tried using the mobo spdif and its the same thing, only stereo. I thought the whole SPDIF thing was for surround sound. If its meant for 2...

Here is my set up: - Xi-fi Platinum > spdif > receiver's coaxial input The receiver is a Denon AVR-1602 I currently only have 2 speakers but I plugged the left speaker into the center input just to test it out. In the X-Fi setting, I have it at 5.1 channel. However, when I do the speaker...

It cant be the onboard sound fault. If you can play mp3 fine then I am pretty sure theres nothing wrong with it. Again, uninstall any codec packs you have and install media player classic home cinema. Some people will recommend getting CoreAVC but I just have media player classic home cinema...

Use media player classic home cinema for all your video needs. This will pretty much play everything with a system like yours, no need for those crazy codec packs.

Its pretty simple. Just follow the guide from that website. After a few time, you can do it in seconds on any router since they are basically all the same.

I'd say just get the headphones first and test it with your onboard soundcard.

Since normal computer speakers are frowned upon here, you wont be able to find a 2.1 set for less than $150. A decent 2.0 setup is already at least $100 and a regular subwoofer is already at least $100. Together, that totals to about $200 already.

I have my speakers connect to a receiver and the receiver is connected to the x-fi. When I do the balance test on the receiver, the left and right channels are matched accordingly. However, when I run the test on my computer in the x-fi setting, the two channels are mixed up. The right speaker...

I just bought a Sherwood RA-1140 receiver off craigslist for $8. Does anyone here knows anything about this am/fm receiver? I tried googling it but can not find any information on it.

It's the Lepai t-amp I got off ebay. I havn't done any test on it since I got home late today. I just got the thing plugged in and it makes the loud popping noise everytime I turn it on. Looks like I will probably have to always leave it on.

So I just got this amp. Whenever I turn it on, it makes a really loud popping noise. Is there anyway I can make this go away?

A lot of people seems to like the M-Audio AV40 and the Swans M10. I am not sure how much it is in eur though.

It turned out the lcr-3 is the A series called A5-LCR 3, one of the older model i believe. There are no specs of it on the site. Will it still be ok?

I found a deal for a set of LCR-3 speakers on craigslist for only $40. I'm assuming I will only be able to use 2 of the speakers. How will this setup compare to the P5-PR??

How does the speaker company P5-PR compare to the Polk Audio M10? They are about the same price.

I am leaning toward the P5's speaker for now because of its price and size. How does it compare to the polk monitor 30 though? And for the speakers to work efficiently, as long as it is 4ohm-8ohm and over 87bd and is considered good right?

It will mainly be used for music and I would like to keep the budget under $100.

Thank you I think i will buy this amp then http://cgi.ebay.com/Lepai-TA2020-Class-T-Amp-Mini-Stereo-Amplifier-20WX2_W0QQitemZ120455187052 and go look for some bookshelf speakers off craigslist
