    G-Force Visualizations

    In Windows Media Player, the screen doesn't refresh to show the developing designs in G-Force. It's a cool idea, but it runs like ****. Any ideas?

    Specifically speaking...

    I own a ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe motherboard, this is a bit embarrasing because I feel like I'm fairly adept with computer hardware and software. The firmware scares the ****in' pants off of me. :-p I need to flash the BIOS because it doesn't support my X2 processor. So, I could really use a...

    R.i.p.

    Ex. Pantera, and Damage Plan guitarist, Dimebag Darrel, was shot and killed on stage December 8th, 2004. I'm no Pantera/Damage Plan fan, but I believe that our world has lost an icon. No doubt that Dimebag was one of the most influential musicans of our time. R.I.P. Dimey. Enjoy playing that...

    A Happy Sony Customer!

    Hi, I'm just on today to brag about my new Sony Vaio. :-p I've never been a Sony fan. I own a PS2, but don't play it. The support for my Grandfather's Sony Vaio desktop was terrible. Just two days ago, I bought a high end desktop replacement/entertainment center laptop from Sony. Before...

    White Flame Telecaster

    I've eyed this White Telecaster guitar with flames shaved into the headstock and body. I was going to purchase it, but I forgot about it because I got lost in school and work. Now, with school over, and me quitting my job, I got onto the Musician's Friend website, and browsed around for it. Not...

    Well buckaroos. Time to start slingin' the audio knowledge now that the forums are back on track. For the audio affectionados, this will be a blessing. Hopefully, for those that aren't, they will learn something, or perhaps be plagued by this thread being on the front page for a while. :P...

    So, did I get a deal, or what?

    I just purchased an ATi Radeon 8500DV for my old PIII rig. This is not a gaming rig, and is used mostly for downloads. The DV on the card will come in handy because it's in my room. I got the card for $40. The non DV 8500 costs $60, did I strike a deal, or what?!

    .ppt to HTML

    I would like to put up a powerpoint presentation, and I would like to make it a web page, but no hosts that I've tried accept .ppt as a valid web page. Any ways to turn .ppt into HTML? Are there any other ways I could go about doing things?

    Heatsink/Fan For the Pentium 4

    I'm a pretty good hardware guy, I give good advice in my opinion. Normally I don't ask for help because I know what I'm doing, but I'm really bad on the cooler front. Does anyone know of a few good websites where I can compare CPU coolers? Suggestions would also be appreciated.

    "New Graphics Kid On the Block"

    http://www20.tomshardware.com/graphic/20031107/index.html What are your first impressions? I, for one, am quite impressed. This card is faring well with beta, and buggy drivers. Apparently the team has lots of cash... so go on.

Without Freud nobody would have considered that what happens in a persons childhood may later effect...
