    Nvidia and sound out HDMI

    I updated my drivers to 195.62 and just noticed that there is a selection for 1920x1080(sound enabled) mode. Anyone notice it or using it? If this somehow worked in playing bluray I might consider a receiver.

    Fastest single core?

    100% /8=12% so minus some overhead makes sense. Our app does the same exact thing and while I have only seen it on quad core units so far they only report something like 18-20% total when maxed out.

    Fastest single core?

    Does it use optimizations that would be specific to any brand? Will cache size help? A Core 2 Duo E8600 at 3.33GHz would be my pick where there is a budget involved at $269.

    Slow downloads from Asus

    Back when I had an Asus I had the same problem, not good to see they have not changed it in a couple of years. A side note, asus is one of those sites that is mirrored for different regions. I think they have a US site, a Taiwan site and a Europe site at a minimum if not more. Try them all and...

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    Given that the last one stealthily hosed restore points and you didn't know till you needed them and now I think it actually does something for the garbage collection, takes a few seconds and there is a progress indicator so I don't know that the last one did anything at all. Sounds like a lot...

    Televisions as monitors: What are you using, and why?

    I normally sit about 25-30 inches away from my Samsung LN32A550 32" set which seems perfect. I also sit about 9 feet from my HTPC LG 47LH40 47" monitor and frankly I am disappointed in myself for settling for only a 47" set. True HD content looks so amazing I am constantly leaning leaning in...

    Wifi router reccomendations?

    I have a positively ancient 3Com 3CRWE554G72T that just never locks up or dies, years ago I recommended that same model to a friend and we both are still using them. All my network problems have been other devices. I wonder if their quality carries over to the new stuff.

    Low power 2TB options?

    Hmm considering a couple of 2TB models but which one, the Seagate or the Samsung? The Seagate is a touch faster spindle speed and stats. From what I can tell they are both 4x500gb platter models. Both $150. They are just going to be storage for media files nothing special...

    Well zune is up to 120. Archos is up at 160gb or 500gb. Also there are HD based head units you can get for your car too now. Not sure how it gets into the car but maybe wifi, memory stick based or the drive docks at home. That's a good plan with your MP3's too, keeping a virgin set away from...

    Televisions as monitors: What are you using, and why?

    I thought at 1920x1080@60 was about right at the limit for single link DVI/HDMI. To go beyond that would require dual link which isn't available in HDMI? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI

    Windows 7 nonsense

    I don't get what the problem is, did it not detect the other OS and add an entry to the boot loader for it? The way you describe it you should have wound up with a dual boot system before removing drives.

    Windows 7 nonsense

    Yeah, now win 2000 with those four boot disks was a pain in the ass, win7 is nothing compared to that. You added another drive and it doesn't boot? The drive must have been plugged into a lower port number and took priority?
