HP touchpad tablet $99

Drove by a Best Buy in The Colony, TX this morning and there was a line of maybe 50 people waiting for them to open. My guess is that a lot of people will be sorely dissapointed.

Win 7 Home Premium: Difference between US and non-US English retail versions?

I only know of the N version which was sold abroad. It had no Windows Media Center, or Internet Explorer -- otherwise identical...perhaps that's the difference. You can download WMC and IE easily to add them on.

20% OFF Any SSD @ Newegg - ***DEAD***

Does anyone know if the 30GB Kingston would be a nice drive for a swapfile for someone who does a lot of large image editing with multiple layer in Photoshop? My daughter has 8 GB of DDR2 RAM and runs out of space sometimes and goes to the swapfile.

Is WIN 7 compatible with my apps and mobo divers?

Got to Microsoft's website, and download the Compatability tool for Windows 7. It will tell you about your ability to upgrade and problems with apps. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/

Win 7 versions: clean install question.

Yes it will. You can do the same thing as Vista. Install it as a trial version and then upgrade it.

It may be related to your boot sequence setup in your BIOS. Make sure your harddrive is first one in the sequence.

Q8200 + Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro = 50c idle?

The AC Freezer is great but requires some force to REALLY get it on...my guess is that it is not seated properly also. If you can grab one of the four post and pull on it a little bit it should not come up...my expectation (from experience) is that it might come off somewhere when you try this...

WHS v2 - Vail Released to Public View.

I really wish the Media Center integration was there. I do have to have two machines running all the time and would be able to get by with one if it was integrated. I have low power systems, but one is still better than two.

Speedstep not working under windows 7 x64

I am not sure but I think most speedstep settings are usually in your BIOS setup. You need to check at bootup and see if all the setting for power saving are enabled.

Fry's Brick and Mortar (Core i5 750 with Gigabyte P55A mainboard) $209 AR

I bought this combo last Sunday and the only processors were customer returns. There were three new boards there, so I took a shot at it. I also picked up the Coolermaster V8 cooler for $29 (AR). Looks like someone returned this processor but I can't see why they would...it does 4.2 at 1.36...

I had a problem installing Win 7 64 bit originally on my IP35 Pro. the problem was rectified when I switched the DVD drive. Can't remember what the exact drive issue was but I switched drives and it worked fine.

MoBo for HTPC

I agree that 7.1 sound is overrated, but I have a true 7.1 system with good speakers and I CAN tell the difference on the VERY FEW titles that are truely 7.1. I also think 7.1 adds better depth of surround in 5.1. All of this is based on having a room set up well , and having speakers placed...
