are there any specific decoders I need in order to play blu-ray?

I currently have a HD3650 that has a HDMI out, and was wondering if I get a blu-ray drive, how would I go about playing a blu-ray on my TV via HDMI? I guess the main thing is, what kind of software will I need to play 1080p? Will nVidia's purevideo decoder work with Ati? I'd greatly appreciate...

It's actually an intel board, I don't know why I wrote asus...

My computer (see sig) worked for about 3 months, then yesterday I go to turn it on and nothing happens on the screen. It powers up, and the fans spin, but they stay at full speed, instead of slowing down as usual. The thing I don't understand is why this would happen all of a sudden after it has...

8800gt's are going for fairly cheap right now. In Sli, 8800gt would probably offer better performance over the gtx for about the same price. Then again, if you had the Gtx, you would have the possibility of going Sli in the future for that once the price comes down more, and since its a 384-bit...

What's would the difference be in running OpenSuse 64 bit opposed to the normal version? Is it faster? Would I run into more driver errors? What are the advantages/Disadvantages of running a 64 bit system?

Does anyone know when the next nvidia cards are to be released? I'm thinking about buying a 8800gt, but there are newer cards coming out anytime soon? If so, do you think the price on the 8800gt would drop by much, or should I just buy now? I'm not really in that much of a hurry though.

I have two strings that contain the same letters, but not the same characters. ex: string answer = E L E P H A N T string word = ELEPHANT Is there any way to tell if these are equal? I have a while loop that needs to exit when answer = word. Any help would be appreciated.

I tried without the harddrive and had the same result. I'm going to try on a different monitor later and see if that works.

I'm trying to install ubuntu, but the problem is, the bios does'nt pop up, so I can't change the boot settings, the screen is just black. There isn't any signal going to the monitor. I've flashed the bios and everthing.

So I was installing ubuntu, when it froze halfway through. I restarted my computer, and now it will not post. Just a black screen. When I press keys, the hard drive is active, and the computer will restart if I use ctrl alt delete, but I can't see anything on the screen.

Thanks guys, windows recognized it right away. It shouldn't be a problem that my slave drive is plugged in above my master drive should it?

I have two DVD drives (A & B) For some reason, my computer won't recognize a secondary disk Drive when linked with the IDE cable. If the cable is plugged into just one of the drives (A or B), the computer will recognize it as the primary drive. If I have them both plugged in (A-B or B-A) it...
