Hey guys, not sure if this is the right subforum to post this, but let's give it a shot. Anyway, quick background: I share this computer with my brother. He's a total pain in the *** when it comes to giving up the computer so that I can use it, taking around 20 minutes to "say goodbye to his...

I was just talking to a friend on IM and he was asking me about drive defrag. After talking about it for a while, he asked me a question that left me dumbfounded, because I had never thought about it: Is it possible to perform a system restore after a drive defrag with the purpose of leaving it...

Thanks a lot everyone. Prototype, I took a look at the MOBO you recommended and it looks really nice, but I can't get it around here. Thanks a lot anyway. And everyone else, what do you think about the one I posted?

Ok, P35. What do you think about this one? I'm a newb at MOBOs too, but it looks really nice spec-wise. Newegg.com - ASUS P5K SE EPU LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards

Mmm, the case is a Foxconn, that's as far as I know. And about the PSU I don't remember the model or manufacturer but the guy who's selling it to me is very reliable (sells stuff for my dad's company very often), and assured me that it would supply enough power for the computer I'm aiming to...

As the title suggests, this is nothing more than a new PC thread. Basically I want a computer that's powerful enough to play games smoothly at 1280x1024 as well as editing video and for general use. I don't have much of a budget, but I do already have the monitor, speakers, OS, printer and...

Hey guys, I might be buying a Nintendo DS the next month when my uncle travels to the USA, I don't have a lot of money to spend on games and the console, and I might not be able to buy games for some time after this, so my choices need to be very accurate. I'm not thinking of buying any other...

Trust me, it's a beautiful place, wouldn't change it for the world, just... don't come here to buy hardware. Or anything technology-related. Or guitars (****ing Epiphone Les Pauls cost around $800). But it's still a beautiful place.

No no, South American prices. Either way, I just found an XFX XXX edition for $250 (new), so I think I'll get that one :D

Ok, but that's not among my choices. I'm looking for one under $400, and the XFX 8800GT is around $470, way over my league. EDIT: That was to mgcook. I think I'll put up a poll

Hey there, I'm building a new computer, got every part down but the video card is what bugs me. I'm fixed on getting a 8800GT, and I have 3 choices: - EVGA 512-P3-N802-A1 GeForce 8800GT Superclocked 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail ($395) - MSI...

Hi there, I have an AVI file with two languages playing at the same time (Portuguese and English). I'm guessing it has two audio tracks, so is there any way to choose which track will be played in WMP? If not, what media player can I use?

If by resizing you mean changing the height/width, Image->Image Size will do it.

Ok, pretty clear, but when you say "fix XP", should I fix a particular one or the one of my choice? EDIT: And this is after formatting the Vista drive, right?
