    Changing Windows icons

    Found the answer, guess I should have used the forum search better. 4th post of this thread You don't need to creat a .dll, just have .ico files, but maybe the .dll way is better??

    First Console since original NES!!!

    Since my thread has been hijacked I will attempt to get it back on track with this: I finished all 8 Grand Prix races in Mario Kart at 50cc. Super fun. This is a must have game in my opinion. The DS Lite was released just in time for me. Work has slowed to a screeching halt and w/o my DS...

    New NEC 20WMGX2!!! (Pics inside 56K)

    Very nice LCD! Worth the extra money IMP. Yesterday I took a look at this monitor as well as the others in the GX2 (17,19 20WS) series at Fry's. They really do look better than the others. It's not just the glossy screen that makes them look so nice, as they had the previous GX models there...

    Dual 17" LCDs ?

    I want to go dual monitor, something like dual 17" @ 1280*1024. Would I be better off to get a single large WS monitor @ 1680*1050? Trying to do the dual set up on the cheap, that's why I'm thinking 17" instead of 19" or bigger. Thanks for the help...

    How important is HDCP?

    So it seams not to be that important at the moment. I figured as much, but a second opionion never hurt. Looks like 2405 might work out. :)

    How important is HDCP?

    I want to pull the trigger on a 2405, but since it lacks HDCP I'm hesitating. Should I go with the 2405 or get something with HDCP? I plan to keep whatever I get for a while.

    Dell E1705 dropping 7800 support?

    That's messed up. I was looking last night and they had the 7800 and X1400. That X1400 is still shared mem. WTF? I really wanted one, but now... If you click "help me decide" it still shows the 7800

    Cannon PowerShot S2 IS Digital Camera $350

    This camera is the bee's knees! Very nice color and sharpness. The video is great 640*480 @30FPS, 12X zoom I'm very happy. Much nicer than my Canon A75. Definately recommend a fast SD card. I went with a 2GB SanDisk Ultra (paid retail for that :( )

    Intel to beat AMD by 20%

    Take it for what its worth... My friend at Intel told me they have allowed 75W to acheive the desired mghz. They should sample this week if all goes well. He also said Conroe is a bad mofo, and will be performance per watt king. Again this is what I was told so believe it or not... whatever.

    Intel is now the better choice...for the same reason AMD once was!

    Good thing Super pi is so fast, I love playing super pi online deathmatch. :D edit:oops

    Is it worth it?

    I checked the Oppo and noticed it said "Up Convert from 480i to 720p/1080i"... That got me thinking, What if you play a backed up DVD? Will it or the other brands up convert to HD?
  30. F

    Is it worth it?

    I believe it can upconvert previous XBox games only.

    Is it worth it?

    I've seen a couple of these newfangled "upconversion" DVD players @ BB. Do they do what they claim? I have HDMI connections and need a new DVD player, but wasn't sure if their worth it. Sony Samsung Are their other models, better models? Thanks :)

    DDR2 667 to 800 - Big Deal?

    I have not worked with Intel for a while and would appreciate your help. Will running 800 ram over the 667 be any advantage on a Presler rig. I remember the older P4 liked fast memory?? Thanks

    Last post on this - X2 3800 or Opt165

    Honestly, I don't think you will notice the difference at stock speeds. 512k or 200Mhz for Gaming IMO cache helps more, for .rar and DVD encoding MHz helps more. IMO you will have insignificant real world differences. Check this chart, I know it does not have the opty, but you can compare...
