  1. just to clear things up MSCONFIG is in Vista and the process of formatting and installing Xp is simple AND easy :)

     

    as long as the devices in the notebook will be detected with Xp then you should be fine. go to the company's site of your noteook, find the right model and make sure their are drivers for Xp. to install Xp just insert the disk and follow on-screen.

  2. one of the reasons why PS3 is so... $$$ is the fact that it can play both DVD HD and BlueRay. actually the PS3 is the Cheapest BlueRay/DVD HD player out right now. PS3 is really a next in everything. plus... the Internet gaming Fee is free :)

  3. although mine is just a MP3 Player and not a PGD(Portable Gaming Device) it is still worth it. believe me if you had a few mins. to mess with the Cowon D2 you'd adore it.

     

    on to other matters the PSP is a good device at hand. i don't think it has gapless playback. i'm sure it can be added by Firmware update but hey idk... if Sony will do this as i think most users wouldn't care and wouldn't even know what gapless playback is(just means no pause between tracks).

     

    PS3 is ahead now but god... the price is awful. Xbox 360 is a better buy.

  4. bah, never have been a Sony fan at all. but that starwars battle front game looks pretty cool. i have my Cowon D2 which is an MP3 Player and what more could i ask for?

     

    $213(well spent i might add)

    Touch Screen(320x240 Res.)

    SD Card Slot(supports up to 16GB plus handles SDHC)

    52Hrs Music playback and 10Hrs of Video playback

  5. i copied from here

     

    hi, i had my GF's computer working all fine until she started messing with it. i have all the updates installed. it normally froze when i tried to run the Windows Update Site. next i had a svchost.exe processor giving 50% to 99% CPU Usage. now that doesn't happen i don't believe but for some reason when i was talking to her through Yahoo messenger the computer just froze and she had to restart the computer again.

     

    idk... the issue maybe Drivers or Hardware. heck... maybe even OS.

     

    Specs. on her computer

     

    Windows Xp Professional Sp2 (All updates Installed)

    Intel Celeron 500mhz

    320MB SDRAM Slot one:64MB Slot two:256MB

    Western Digital 28.6GB HDD

    Onboard Intel 810 11MB but the current latest drivers say 32MB Onboard??!!! weird and odd :unsure:

     

    please help me somebody

     

    Note: right before we headed to her house with the computer i tested it one more time and it took a long time for the Windows Update site to detect or scan the hardware but it never finished and it didn't freeze up. normally i saw the computer freeze with a matter of 10min. or so. also i think this freezing up issue started when i installed FireFox.

     

    UPDATE since that topic: she uninstalled FireFox and installed Maxthon for lower memory usage. now i think it is the IDE Cables or some of the Power connectors either getting moved around or the IDE Cables are in contact with the Power Connector wires. i ask her if she moved the case and she said probably. so i guess that's a yes knowing her but now i talked to her for atleast an hour and her computer never rebooting or froze up.

  6. Hi New_Age :)

    I read with interest because I want to attempt to physically install a new video card, and maybe change (Upgrade) my RAM.

    Please excuse my lack of knowledge, what is a (stand-off) is it anything like an earth or ground wire?

    Dose it discharge static buildup?

    stand-offs are little gold plated screws to support the Mobo from touching the MoBo tray of the case. it prevents the Mobo from short circuiting. most require these stand-offs i believe. i think it just matters what company you buy from.
