From experience testing loads of iPod's and Zune's, the iPods generated less problems connecting to the computer. Even though I hate iTunes the connection interface between the device and computer is better.
I know how the process works and what you're trying to say but you're still buying a product to play media that was made to fit on a different size screen. I'm talking more about the quality of the image and the amount of pixels which is what really matters. I know you acknowledge this but most...
I'm trying to say it's pointless buying a 21:9 TV when you're going to play 16:9 media on it. It doesn't matter that the film was made for 21:9 because when you buy it in HD it's already been down sampled to fit on a 16:9 screen with the letterbox bars. It'll be worth buying one of these when...
Yeah, but it'll just stretch the image across the screen making that extra 640 of horizontal pixels wasted. All HD films are 1920x1080 regardless of the aspect ratio so for per pixel there's no increase in quality.
Seems kinda pointless as there's no media that natively fits that ratio. You'd have to go and buy the films again you already bought as HD-DVD/Blu-ray in 2.35:1 to get the full experience.
I did use to run Folding@Home but it was causing problems in some of my games, namely CSS. It caused these annoying, tiny screen freezes ever few seconds. I had to keep killing the process in Task Manager until I just uninstalled it.
I might try it again as ATI just released it with their...
Your laptop has the ATI Radeon Xpress 200M graphics processor which by todays standards is extremly low end. According to this graph it performs worse than Intels GMA 950. It doesn't seem much better than the GPU in my laptop (IGP 320M) which can't even run a game as old as AVP2...
All this stuff about "accurate rips" is mearly about obtaining a copy of the music from the CD without any glitches or copying errors caused by anything from a scratched CD to a poor CD drive. There's a whole database of CRCs (or something like that) which will tell you if your rip is accurate...
PSX Emulators have improved alot now. The best ones are ePSXe (although it requires some configuring) and another one I can't rememeber the name of. The best place to get them is Zophar's Domain.
There's nothing better than playing old PSX titles like Duke Nukem: Time To Kill at high res with...
For performance reasons there's little point. You'd be better of getting the 500GB and partitioning it, one for OS with anything you'd install and one for personel files.
Seems I made a mistake, it was actually 131070, but it shouldn't make a difference it the server caps it anyway? Bah... I'll just do the config.cfg thing then and just live with it.
Well, the nub admin on a server I played on just kicked me because I set my rates at 13170. Do they think it gives me an advantage or something? I've never understood all this controversy over it all. It's a shame they're no good servers left anymore (for me anyway).
Thanks for explaining. :)
I set everything according to the guide to:
cl_updaterate 100
cl_cmdrate 100
rate 131072 (this was set to 9999 before for some reason)
In the console it says the server has restricted it to 30000 though like you said. However, my choke has dropped by some. I...
Lately I've been getting horrendous choke no matter what server I play on. When nothings happening it will usually sit at 0 but as soon as I come close to another player (friend or foe) it will shoot up to around 10-20. When lots is happening can shot up to as high as 60. I've read tutorials on...
The Asus Xonar may be right for you but they are quite expensive. I think the D1 would be perfect for your needs though. It really depends on how much you like you music to sound and how much you're prepared to pay for it.

What exactly is you graphics adapter (name, make)? I can only guess it's some kind of aliasing cause by the wrong resolution or signal interference from the cable.
