1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Primary is as a vmware network lab environment to study for MCITP certs. O/S's installed will be Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7 client, linux flavors and other random virtual o/s environments like Exchange, a sql...

Hello all, I currently am studying for my MCITP and find virtualization really interesting. It is my hope to create a virtual home lab to play around in. However after spending a few days lurking on this forum, r/vmware and r/sysadmin I have some questions about what would be best for my...

Looking for some headphones that a buddy and I can both buy so we can play Modern Warfare 2 together. I'm looking though for a pair that wont break the bank and will transmit clearly. I enjoy my existing surround sound setup but there's not a way to keep it and have a mic right? I would...

I want to upgrade my HD for my PS3. Whats the largest HD that the PS3 will address? Additionally any tips? My buddy said he did a backup but that he didn't backup to a thumbdrive or external HD. He theorized that it backed up everything online (like perhaps a parity check of some kind?)...

I read the Virtualization FAQ but i'm still a bit confused. What I would like to do is take a computer with windows XP on it and install Windows Server 2003 as a virtual o/s. I would like both operating systems to act as if they are a network with one another and use it as an environment to...

Just reinstalled this game. Still a great game, but it could benefit with getting an graphics and engine update. Why don't they make a sequel? Oh wait just checked it would appear they are making a sequel. Woot! Anyone know anything about it?

I know Xbox360 has exclusive rights to the Fallout 3 DLC for consoles, but for how long? Has it actually been commented by a credible source that the DLC will never come to the PS3?

My friend is eager for me to build a computer that will hook up to his HDTV. After speaking to him for a bit though, it appears that all he wants it to do is stream videos from sites like hulu, netflix and he wants to get the mlb.tv package ($100 for every MLB game many in 720p). All 3 are...

Just bought this game on Sunday. Love it. The game is clearly first and foremost a Baseball simulator, but I like how you can fine tune it if you suck at hitting for example to give you an edge if you need it. Anyone else playing it?

Didn't really know where to post this, so I posted it here in the conole Gaming section. My PS3 is hooked up to my receiver via an HDMI cable, and it processes the audio like dolby digital so the receiver doesn't have to handle that. Well I would like to disable this feature in attempts to...

I've been doing a lot of research on making an HTPC system. Currently i'm thinking about cases. I was looking at the Antec Fusion Black 430 it interested me because of its look, had a remote, and was moderately priced at around $150. However, i've been reading up some reviews and people say...

Recently I started a discussion about the price curve for HTPC's, what parts are going to need upgrading what parts aren't. Basically came to the conclusion that there are only 3 things that really need to get upgraded. Video Card's if your a gamer, hard drive space if your filling it up (but...

I've been lurking on the HTPC forums for a month or so and the information here and at the other websites i've come across like (missingremote, avsforum and widescreengaming) have been really helpful. I'm at the point where i'm done looking and i'm ready to start specing out what I want to buy...

I'm interested in building a new computer, (mobo + proc + mem). I would like to buy a mobo that I can have some growth with, but at the same time uses much of the older technology that I have. Here are my goals. 1) A mobo that has both Pci-E slots and an AGP slot. - This is because I...

A co-worker of mine had a Joe Shmo type work on his computer, and installed pirated software. We all have probably a history involveing the stuff, but this guy pirated it and sold it to him as his buisness. With that said, the co-worker was having problems with his computer and I took a look...

My boss would like me to buy a PCMCIA wireless nic that can be used on 802.11 a, b, and g networks. Does one even exist? I know G can work on B, but not A. Your thoughts?

I know its possible, what I dont know is where to find some information on how to get this done. If someone could point me in the right direction i'd appreciate it.

Title says it all. I need to create multiple drop-down boxes in powerpoint and then populate them with options. Any help would be most appreciated.

One of my users came to me today with a question about Excel formulas and I wasn't able to solve it. He uses a very simply forumla of A+B=C, each letter being a column. He then re-edits Column's A and B, when he does so does the value of Column C as it recaluclates the forumla. He doesn't...

Here at my office we seem to be having some serious problems with our Dell computers. My boss loves the HD diagnostics feature that the dell mobo's run by hitting ctrl+alt+d at the bios load screen. Normally the drill is that when she finds a failure using these diagnostics, she asks me to...
