I have a dual 2.5 G5. I started with 1GB of RAM (2x 512) shipped with my computer, then I added another GB a couple months later. 2 GB seems to work really well with my computer. I may add another GB down the road. The amount of RAM you need depends on your computer use. It looks like you would...
I'm interested in getting an SACD player, but only using it for audio SACD's since I already have a Denon DVD video/audio player. Are there any cheap players that would do a good job? Any features I should be looking for? Thanks, Brian
$40? Big deal. I had no problem paying that to buy this great film and support an artist of David Lynch's caliber. In fact, I also bought the $90 signed copy of the DVD. The Short Films of David Lynch is another must-buy. Brian
Very boring show this year. Mostly by the numbers and uninspired choices. At least Errol Morris won. And thank god LOTR is over. I'm so sick of it. Brian
I just got an Xbox, and I was wondering if it's normal to have kind of loud fan noise. I don't really notice it when I'm playing a game, but it seems sort of loud if it's turned on and I'm not playing a game. Thanks, Brian
I received the message that my order is still in process. It's already gone through my checking account, so I have hope that I'll actually get this set. Brian
Why don't you just accept the fact that maybe you don't like these movies? If you have to work to "understand what this phenomenon is all about", and even lock yourself in your apartment, this isn't for you. It seems like we're all almost required to love these movies, but don't follow the...
Is there a web site where I can look up reviews of games that release on PS2, Gamecube, and X-Box? I have all three consoles, and when a games comes out for all three, I'm never sure which version would be best. I assume X-Box will almost always have the best sound and graphics, but what about...
My father-in-law has a Denon 2802 which has been shutting down when he wathches DVD's or certain TV shows with loud music or explosions. If he turns the volume down, the problem stops, but then everything is too quiet. Has anyone else had this problem or aware of a way to fix it? Could it be a...
Your Mitsubishi should have 2 or 3 component inputs, so connect your PS2 and DVD player directly to the TV with component cables. That way you're assured the best quality. There's no need to run devices through the Onkyo unless you run out of itputs on the TV. Get an optical cable for your PS2...
If you order GBA SP headphones through Nintendo, you don't need the adapter. They come terminated so it fits right into the jack. I think they are only available as a free gift with a one year subscription to Nintendo Power Magazine. Brian
I realize that HD inherently has a superior picture compared to DVD, but after buying a widescreen TV and switching to a progressive scan player, I thought the quality would be somewhat better than it is. The overall effect still really beats my old interlaced player on a 32" TV. I guess having...
I recently purchased a 65" Hitachi XWX HDTV, and I've been watching OTA HDTV. The quality is amazing, even to the point where when I watch DVD's, it's disappointing. I used to think DVD's looked great, but after HD, a lot of DVD movies look fuzzy, out of focus, grainy, etc. Some DVD's still look...
I just bought a new 65" Hitachi XWX HDTV that will be delivered on Thursday, and I'm looking for advice on a new DVD player. I'm looking for something in the $500 price range. I'm assuming I want a progressive scan player. I have a Panasonic RV31 player now, but it's not progressive scan. Would...
Could anyone else give me advice? I'm debating what size set to get: 57" or 65". I would like the bigger set, but room considerations come into effect. I have Definitive Technology BP 2000tl speakers, so I would need to fit all of that in a 12' wide room. Would a 65" set be worth having a...
Steve, thanks for your advice. How much does it cost for DirectTV/Dish HD monthly service? Would I need the oval dish in addition to a rooftop antenna to pick up local channels? The reason I ask is that I'm not in to TV that much anyway. The few shows I watch are mostly on the major networks...
I'm considering buying my first HDTV within the next couple months, and I'm looking for some advice. Here are the things I know for sure: This will go in my living room, which is around 23'L by 12'W. I think for that size room I would like a set between 55 and 65 inches. The way the room is...
Steve, I've seen Sony's announcement about DVI in their upcoming sets, but where did you see Toshiba's announcement? Could you point me in that direction? Thanks, Brian
I was contacted by Denon and told my 5800 is ready for the upgrade. I was wondering if anyone has experience with the upgrade and could say anything about it? While it would be nice to have an up-to-date receiver, I'm wondering how many of the new features I will actually use. Thanks, Brian
I need to get new speaker wire for my surround speakers. I'm looking for 12 guage wire that I can add banana connectors to. I know Home Depot and other places have cheaper wire, but since I have Monster cable all around my system, I want to stick with that. I'll need 30 to 40 feet for each...
