that sounds plausible to me if its on the drive it will in effect not use any power for the actual dvd player. tell you what try it now and just let the movie play then when its over see how much battery is left. by the way can you still carry that thing on a plane ?

right i wouldnt even want to have to use a video card unless the mobo doesnt have it. i really would like it to include either the 6300 or maybe even the 6400 intel and at least 1gb Ram. and i do think i need a CD-RW which i dont have now but we are going Electronic Medical Record soon so i...

i'm at "work" right now and kind of busy. go figure. but i love these so far. when i get home or later if it slows down or the boss leaves i'll try to really look at these and see what i can evolve into a killer budget machine. just glancing at these i see that the first one i dont need that...

sorry i was rushed when i posted. i was wondering if anyone would spec me a PC to better the specs that my job is currently buying. it will have to be stock, no OC'ing or any modding and it will be strictly a "office" computer. no games. it can have onboard sound and video. it just needs to be...

he discharged static but to me it seems like he might be having some mobo grounding/shorting out issues ? i bet in between it working and not he is touching stuff inside the case. i'd recomend he remove the mobo and check all risers and reinstall. my.02

it WILL play ANY game easily.

thanks for the info. i'm sure MCE is the one to choose. which one ? Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 w/Update Rollup Release 2 OEM 1 Pack - OEM or Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 w/SP2 - OEM

thanks. i am kind of thinking towards MCE cause even though some of the features wont be useable at first i can always build into them in the future. and since it is media edition shouldnt it be what i need for vid editing and splicing together photos.

who's confused ?

the reason i asked about word is a friend just got a pc from a store and after the 60 days her trial ran out and she said word was going to cost $150.00. i just wanted something to type up stuff. and honestly forgot that there are probably other "free" options out there. i will check into...
