8k7a -said to be one of if not the most tweakable mobo's but uses a lot of jumpers /dips instead of bios adjustments.

access micro/ mcglenn/ etc... suck (check their user ratings; http://www.resellerratings.com .

http://www.newegg.com -better prices, better service.

Sold one stick of Crucial PC133 cas 2 256MB ram for $50. After buying one stick of 256MB PC 2100 DDR cas 2.5 for $60. $10 for 10% performance gain on an AMD 761 chipset..... I think it's worth it.

Not possible... something to do with the reason why we can't boot into dos anymore either.

What's up with the L1 bridges? I thought they were already connected on those cpu's, or is it not a 1.33+?

Also, looks like a soldering iron job to me... I mean where are the scorch marks?

No changes huh? You guys ever read about the changes made for the drivers? I couldn't see any improvements that applied to my chipset or motherboard so I didn't update.

WinDVD is commonly said to have "slightly" better picture and sound than PowerDVD. PowerDVD is said to have a better interface and options. I think the picture quality may be arguable, and the sound unnoticeable. Some people don't like WinDVD for the way it takes over the sound playback in...

Toshiba's are limited to 2x ripping speed for DVD's. The Pioneer does ~7x ripping. I think the Toshiba has faster audio ripping, and may be better quality (longevity) but not sure.

I don't think it's supposed to be "as good" but comparable. From what I've read, it will only sound comparable if played in a specific player (no good for mpeg4 encoding). I've also heard that it sounds absolutely horrible if not played on the special player.

Yes, you will need a decryption progam such as Clad DeCSS or Smart Ripper found at http://www.Doom9.net . All you should need is the VOB files that pertain to the movie (they should be sequenced, and Clad can identify them automatically). Older versions of PowerDVD will require that you put the file...

Why the hell are they using a dufus like Keanu Reaves in otherwise decent movies? Yeah... above average, but could have been much better with a better leading actor.

I've had Drunken Master 2 for over 3 years now. Cost me $30 for a VHS with subtitles! The DVD for the original Drunken Master (The one that made Jackie's career) is horrible quality, but still a good movie. It was nice to see DM2 dubbed.

The Kyro 2 should surpass the GTS at higher resolutions because of the way it renders. Infact, I would think you could raise the resolution significantly without harming performance much.

I read and believe in the Bible, but I despise religion.
