    New SFF build advice (I'm a little rusty)

    Great, thanks for the input. Should I consider AMD at all? I guess I sort of automatically went the Intel processor route because my impression was that Intel is more dominant at the moment, but I could be completely off there. Also, I'm hoping someone has some experience with these...

    New SFF build advice (I'm a little rusty)

    I built my current computer almost 3 years ago (I know, it's been awhile). It's a Shuttle SN95G5v3. I've loved it; a great buy, but now I'm getting the itch to possibly put together something new. This will be my primary comp; I watch a lot of HD content (and I might use it to drive an HDTV at...

    HDTV resolutions -- 1024x768 is HD and widescreen?

    Ok, that makes more sense now. Thanks for the explanations

    HDTV resolutions -- 1024x768 is HD and widescreen?

    I've been looking for a HDTV and noticed that many widescreen plasmas have a 1024x768 resolution. I don't get it...because it seems to me that 1024 / 768 = 1.333 = 4:3 aspect ratio. Also, I understand that 720p is officially 1280x720 (though many "720p" sets are typically 1366x768 for...

    Halo 3 48-hr Xbox Live Gold Trial -- Code Swap!

    Just the regular version. I seem to remember reading that it was supposed to come with all copies though. It was just on a card behind the manual in the DVD case.

    Halo 3 48-hr Xbox Live Gold Trial -- Code Swap!

    It was inside the DVD case. Maybe it didn't come with all versions of the game?

    Halo 3 48-hr Xbox Live Gold Trial -- Code Swap!

    I figured there are probably a bunch of people out there that already pay for Live memberships and don't need the trial code that came free with Halo 3. Perhaps we could start swapping codes here for people that need/want them?

    Vista: Network disconnect after inactivity

    there is an option there and it's set to "maximum performance" which I assume means it should be on all the time.

    Vista: Network disconnect after inactivity

    I find that when my Vista PC goes into sleep mode (monitor goes off, etc.) when I reawaken it the network has disconnected and must reconnect. This is slightly annoying because I like to run bittorrent pretty much all the time. Anyone know a solution? I'm using vista business if that is...

    Gunstar Heroes is incredibly fun for two players.

    Beat Twilight Princess? How long did it take?

    Interesting how it looks like it could almost be a normal distribution.

    Beat Twilight Princess? How long did it take?

    That's about on track with how I did. So about 2/3 of the way, I think.

    Beat Twilight Princess? How long did it take?

    Picking up most of the side quests along the way? That's certainly something I think I'll go back and do eventually.

    Beat Twilight Princess? How long did it take?

    I just beat Twilight Princess. What a magnificent game! I'm curious how long it took others here to finish the game, so I figured a poll would do. I completed it in 36 hours, doing some extra stuff but sticking primarily to the main quest. Still, I was expecting it to be longer...

    Wiimote almost as perfect as mouse for FPS

    Yeah I noticed the twitchiness too with the Wii channel interfaces. If you check out Zelda: Twilight Princess videos, though, it looks really smooth. Like you said, maybe a sensitivity setting, or I've also heard that being really close to the sensor bar will screw with the movement. Edit...
