Memory card for a Kodak EasyShare cx7430

Pretty much asny SD card you get from a reputable e-tailer will be good. Just look for the best deal you can find. B&M outfits (CompUSA, Best Buy, OfficeMax, etc.) often have good deals also, when you can find them.

Which Motherboard?

I've narrowed my choices down to the JetWay A210GDMS-Pro or the Foxconn NF4K8MC-ERS. This computer is being purpose-built for my work at a radio station. Portability is a prime factor, so it needs to be micro-ATX. The machine will play mp3s, rip mp3s and record digital "airchecks" of my...

A little help making the perfect WIRELESS sff.

link link The first two cards look like they'll fit in the case if you simply remove or also modify and replace the rear bracket. As for speakers, there are "wireless" speaker systems that still need to be powered and attached to the source.

Which choice seems more sensible?

Don't forget the GT will do SLI, while the non-GT (probably) won't, yielding an additional upgrade path.

Is 16x is as fast as DVD can get?

Who knows, maybe someone will bring back the multi-laser technology that let Kenwood CD-ROMs read at 72x 6 years ago.

Does anybody know if the stock HSF for AMD 64's are the same on all models?

No, they're not all the same. Yes, those will probably be fine, assuming the CPU they're going on to aren't too much faster (in GHz) than the ones they came off of.

Watching 1080i on a 768 res tv...

Not exactly. By starting with superior source material you can wind up with a superior finished product (I seem to recall ATI or Nvidia using an "oversampling" technique that was simply rendering the frame at a higher resolution, then scaling it down for display back when they were starting up...

PCchips M810LR-XP v7.1A---Specs. Questions

It won't hurt anything. Besides, he can still use the card should he ever upgrade the rig. Although it would be a good idea to put that money into better mobo/CPU/RAM. Are you locked into the listed setup? If not, get a better one. If so, don't spend more than $50-75 on the vid card and...

CRT vs. LCD

The whole LCD vs CRT debate is a little silly, it's something of an apples/oranges situation. CRT holds the price & image quality titles and will continue to do so for at least a few more years. Why? Well, there's a few reasons. 1) Practical LCD technology is maybe 30-40 years old, whereas...

Power Supplies

I'm thinking about tinkering around with some LEDs for lighting purposes. So far as power supplies that are inexpensive and readily available I have two choices: transformers and switching PSs. Prices are about the same for comparable capacity so the overriding factor is efficiency. 1) So...

HTPC Audio

I wouldn't recommend using the Hauppauge out. Instead, look for a mobo or graphics card with s-video out.

how can i record from Line in on MY audigy 2?

Dude, record directly from the stereo to the computer. 1/8" to RCA stereo adapters are cheap and plentiful if the Audigy doesn't have RCA inputs already.
