    HTPC Crapped out. Build a new one?

    I have been running an HTPC as long as I can remember. I originally used it for upscaling my DVD playbacks to 1080i (the TV is only 1080i, a 2002-2003 model or so). I also played a few games on it. However, now that it's getting old, I don't play any games on it anymore and it seems to be...

    Hulu Desktop on a 3200+

    Anyone running a system that runs Hulu Desktop on an AMD 3200+? I right now have an older 1.6GHz 2000+ with an ATI Radeon 9800 that won't run full screen Hulu Desktop smoothly.

    Cas Latencies Through Time

    I can't find a direct answer to this after a while searching both here and the rest of the net, so I'll just ask and see if you can enlighten me. Why have CAS Latencies increased over the last few generations of memory? It seems that CAS 2 and 3 were common in DDR ram, but now I see a lot of...
