2.1 or 2.0 computer speakers (bang for buck)

I'm looking for a new 2.1 or 2.0 setup to replace my aging Klipsch Promedia 2.1. It should be good for music and video, with casual gaming a bonus. Doesn't need to be 'audiophile' quality. Hoping for something cheaper than Klipsch that still does an adequate job, but willing to rebuy Klipsch if...

Questions regarding upgrade from 8800 GTS 640mb to GTX 460 1gb

I have the latest driver installed. Do I need to uninstall the drivers before putting the new card in, or is it fine to leave it since it's the same driver I'd be using if I was installing it fresh? I was planning on at least uninstalling the 8800 reference from the device manager before...

*nix text editor

if you're running a server environment, I'd suggest vim, which is like vi+. Nano is much easier to pick up and use though, if that's a big concern.

Nlite or Litestep?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't nLite and Litestep completely different types of applications? nLite prepares custom install CDs with integrated services packs, patches, drivers, removal of unnecessary software, etc. Litestep is a shell replacement, replacing explorer.exe, basically a...

Should I go for a X1950XTX?

I don't play Q4 or CoD2, but I'm considering getting an X2 3800 for general usage multitasking. I'm interested where you saw a 1900xt drawing less power than a 1950... the power draw and noise issue is my main reason for getting a 1950 over a 1900.

Should I go for a X1950XTX?

Cool, this just gives me more reason to see how far I can push the CPU. If performance is still climbing when I run out of CPU headroom, I guess I'll look at a CPU upgrade.

Should I go for a X1950XTX?

I just read it, and if I was playing @ 12x10 you'd have a point, but I think @ 19x12 it'll be GPU limited. Can anyone with a high end card who plays @ 19x12 confirm or deny this?

Should I go for a X1950XTX?

It was my understanding as well that @ high res the CPU wouldn't matter much, it'd be GPU limited. I plan on getting an X2 in the near future, and if need be I can overclock the 3000+ more... I'm not pushing it at all right now, it can run much faster.

Is it really worth installing Vista RC1 at this point?

I'm usually a super early adopter, but my take is that Vista's not really worth it yet, if ever. Windows has always been great in terms of out of the box driver support, but Vista just isn't there. My sound card and most of my USB peripherals don't work with Vista yet. I think we may have to...

Should I go for a X1950XTX?

I really wish I could get an nVidia card, as I'd prefer to have better Linux support. But I have to have AA in games, which basically means I can't use HDR with an nV card. I don't want to wait til the next generation for nV to have HDR + AA, so ATI wins this round... My choice basically...

Should I go for a X1950XTX?

Looking to upgrade my aging X800XL and I'm thinking X1950XTX, basically because of the lower noise and power usage of the X1950XTX over the X1900 generation cards. I have a 1920x1200 native resolution monitor, so I'm thinking I need top of the line horsepower. I really want HDR + AA, so nVidia...

css/javascript gurus - help needed, simple question re: centering objects

You shouldn't use display: block on a table in a modern browser, they have a special display property called display: table. Rather than setting style.display = "block" use style.display = "", that will set it back to the default value of the property (in this case, "table").

Minimum partition size for Vista beta install?

Err, I'm not whining Skippy, but it *is* an issue. File exceptions in the imaging program don't matter cause I'm imaging the whole partition, not files within it. I want a perfect replica of the *entire* partition with all the low level disk sector information intact. That should have been...

Minimum partition size for Vista beta install?

The reason why it's an issue for me has to do with backups. I strip down my OS partition to a minimum, moving Program Files, swap, temp, and any other non essential files to other partitions. Then I use True Image or Ghost or whatever to image the small OS partition for backup. I can wipe the...

Freeware to scan to PDF?

I have a Canon CanoScan LiDE 20 (very cheap, bare-bones scanner). I already know how to scan to an image format and then convert that to PDF. I'm wondering if there's freeware out there that will do it directly in one step. Looks like the Pro version of CutePDF can do this but not the free one.

Partition Schemes

The reason is to keep the OS partition as small as possible, making for quicker and smaller drive images with Ghost or TrueImage. That's really the power of having a separate OS partition; when it gets screwed up (and it always does eventually) you can just restore a recent backup and you're...

Is Firefox a P.I.T.A. to design with?

Firefox is much easier than IE to develop with... IF you code to W3C standards. When you set margin: 10px on the table, you told it to have a 10px margin on all sides of the table, including the left and right sides. This overrides how you properly center something, which is to set the left...
