Oh, okay. I had never heard of XGI so I was wary of buying a card from them because I was afraid they would have problems hooking up to a TV, but if that is what they are known for I may have to look into the V3.
Thanks.
What would be a good choice for an AGP or PCI graphics card for outputting to a TV? I am setting up an old PC to view movies and pictures on my TV, but my graphics card doesn't have an s-video or RCA out. I want something very cheap, probably on ebay, but I don't really know what would be a good...
I want to hook a computer up to my TV in my bedroom to stream video and audio from my main PC over a wireless connection. I have a couple of PIII (about 500Mhz) boxes, and I would like to use one of them for this. I am looking at getting a vga to composite video cable online for a few bucks...
The reason for the standardized wiring scheme mentioned earlier is to reduce interference called "cross-talk". It basically helps prevent signal from bleeding over from one wire to another. This gets especially important at longer lengths.
Well, he was impatient and went ahead and got a Compaq. He got the model above this one, it's the same but with 1GB RAM, 250GB SATA HD, and a second CD-ROM drive. I went to his house to help him set it up and I have to say it was pretty fast once I got all the junk off of it. I couldn't believe...
He's not going to wait, so I need to find him the best thing I can get him now. He doesn't want a monitor (he just bought one a couple months ago). I take it that the basic consensus is that he could get a better deal at Dell if he was willing to wait, but this isn't a bad deal keeping in mind...
His dad won't let him pay more for a computer that will play newer games, all he cares about is Halo anyway. And with the option to upgrade the Vid card later I didn't really think that was a big issue.
My cousin wants to get a new PC for basic internet stuff, and to play Halo. He needs the computer to be as cheap as possible. I was looking on circuitcity.com (the only place near where he lives) and they have a Compaq for $514.99 that seems to have good specs. Is there any reason to stay away...
"so do i just delete all the partitions on the old harddrive? and then format it to start out new again?"
Actually you format the drive, then make a new partition (FAT32 or NTFS).
"Will it be necessary to reinstall windows?"
No.
And when you plug the old HD in, make sure you set the...
The Windows installer will ask which partition you would like to install on. Since you have no partitions it will let you make them. All you have to do is make it the size you want for Windows. As for a file system, NTFS is much better IMHO for Windows, however it can make accessing info on the...
The HD content from Apple uses QuickTime and the new video codec H264. I haven't looked for a Linux alternative, but would not be suprised if there wasn't one yet.
My fiance has a 12" PB, and her sister has a 12" iBook. Out of the two the PB looks cooler (to me), but the iBook has MUCH better airport reception, and much better battery life.
I have an A95, it has a great mix of point-and-shoot and manual functions. And I can no longer live without the flip out screen, it lets me get shots I couldn't get without laying down on the ground, or not at all.
19" LCDs have always looked pixilated to me. But I guess it has alot to do with your eyesight and personal preference. But then again, I also don't like big screen TVs because they all look pixilated to me.
You would still have the start menu for accessing every aspect of the computer just like you can now. All this does is replace the static (useless) jpg desktop image.
The thing about this is that you can decide if you want the picture on the wall to change your desktop, or if you want it to...
Active Desktop can't interact with your local files. You can't have a link in your background open your 'My Computer', or launch an app. I'm also not sure if AD allows things like java and flash. And without those this is pretty much pointless.
Hmmm, Symphony OS looks like it should be capable of what I want, but I dont see any screenshots of this functionality being implimented. All they show are plain desktop backgrounds with plain looking icons.
Unless I'm missing something I don't see how enlightement does anything like what I was talking about. And I want to use html because there are already tons of people that know how to code it. If I just create my own special language no one is going to be able to use it.
I would think that would be pretty limiting, although I'm sure there are web designers out there who could surprise me with what they could do with straight html (especially with local content, so no worry about load times).
Is there any reason that it would not be possible for an OS to use html (with things like flash as well) for the desktop? I'm not talking about Active Desktop like Windows has. I'm talking about creating a web page that is hosted on your local machine and displayed as your background, but with...
