    AA anyone

    I got a free copy from an Army recruitment trailer, and it's been sitting on my desk since. COD4 is too much fun.

    Screwed up TV

    Hmm.. well, how old is your TV? Does it display normal cable/over the air broadcasts just fine? Does the blurring occur only with the computer as the input?

    ID card schemes

    Security is a concern, but it would be a good idea to ensure someones identity when needed, as passports and driver's licenses are faked rather easily..

    Mozilla Beat World Record!

    I didn't think they broke a world record.. I thought they just created one (and that it will be hard to beat at that)

    Vista + Memory?

    Well the cost will depend on the type of RAM (make sure you check the clock speed of the RAM, etc for similarities). I suggest you just search your specific type of RAM and compare the prices on Newegg.com.

    Do you think VISTA virus free????

    Re: Is VISTA virus free???? With XP no longer being sent to computer manufacturers, the amount of viruses written for Vista is going to obviously increase. Virus writers want to target the large majority of people using a particular OS. XP was popular and tons of viruses have been made for...

    What kinds of USB memory stick are suitable for use as Vista memory

    From what I know, the USB has to have "ready-boost" enabled to have it add as RAM to Vista. You're better off upgrading RAM usually..

    Overscan on lcd

    Are you sure you have the proper graphics card drivers from nVidia? Also I suggest checking your monitor settings.. maybe there's some kind of function that needs to be changed

    Graphics cards! 9600, 8800, 6600 oh my!

    If you plan on gaming, I highly recommend against mobile graphics cards.. I'm not sure about their clock speeds but I would presume they are lower than those of dedicated cards. Additionally, they share your existing RAM

    Net Neutrallity

    Err I believe the majority of people know about net neutrality (if they are net savvy, at least). I imagine this will be a likely result from internet services that provide bandwidth caps.. time to hope that Verizon lays some fiberoptic lines in my neighborhood!

    Graphics cards! 9600, 8800, 6600 oh my!

    The 8-series cards will be receiving physics support through CUDA, but nVidia hasn't mentioned if they'll bring this functionality to the 9-series. If you have a single 8-series card, you can dedicate a certain amount of the GPU to processing physics vs graphics. If you have two cards, you can...

    4 GB RAM Necessary / Is this RAM compatible?

    First question: Is 4 GB of RAM really necessary? I've got a 256 MB nVidia 8600GT that can run COD4 and Crysis just fine, and roughly 1.5 GB / 2 GB of my RAM is used. Will having 2 more gigs of RAM help anything? Second question...
