Which monitors are incompatible with nvidia's 3D vision kit and why? Additionally are ATI graphic cards compatible with nvidia's 3D vision kit? thanks.

Is the display of a 3D enabled laptop in any way different from that of a non 3D enabled laptop or is the only requirement the glasses?

When it comes to laptops at what position does the HD 5870 fit in? is it a mid level card, a mid-high level card, or a high level card? Which card's are better than it? what is Nvidia's equivalent offering in terms of performance?

I had originally planned to buy the Acer Aspire 4820TG but due to an unexpected windfall my budget has risen significantly and I'm now thinking of buying the msi GX740,however recently a friend of mine told me that I could assemble a desktop PC which would perform much better for the same price. The laptops specs are

Would this be able to run most games decently? what kind of framerate would I get on crysis warhead with this rig?

I've recently installed Vampire the masquerade bloodlines and the initial set up and character creation work fine, but when the first level is supposed to start the game crashes to the desktop without any error message, I've updated my graphic card drivers, installed the official patches but the problem still persists, any help?

Well, in case anyone here is unaware of the recent developments in the massive argument between piracy activist's and pro copyright organisations is a massive DDOS campaign launched by anonymous against the websites of several copyright organisations known for their arm twisting tactics, (in one case an 80 year old man was heavily fined because his 12 year old grandson downloaded a few songs on his PC, in another a college student was told to quit college and get a job so she could pay damages to the RIAA to the tune of several million dollars). I don't think this is fair, but I would love to know what is your opinion on it, and that being would you support anonymous's campaign? I believe all you need to do is go to anonops.net

Xb browser, seems to be a modded version of firefox, So I was wondering if any of firefox's extensions work on it, additionally, is XB browser as safe as Xero Bank makes it out to be or should something else be used in conjunction with XB to make it safer?

I'm looking for a smart phone that can double up as a smart phone, like the ipod touch + a phone, except without the iphone's atrocious pricing in India, a decent camera, good storage space and a nice screen with good internet functionality is what im looking for, so any suggestions?

Ok so i've been using http://www.icall.com/free-phone-calls/ to make calls from my browser and it works great though I need to be able to record calls. I've already checked my soundcard and it has stereo mixer and i've enabled it, I just need someone to walk me through actually recording from the mic and headphones simultaneously in Audacity, ten points plus a cookie to whoever gives the best answer.

Is there any program you can use to record both what's going through your mike and headphone simultaneously? for example if I'm calling someone through www.icall.com and need to record both what's being spoken by me and the other person. or if i want to record a song I'm playing on my computer and what's being spoken into the microphone simultaneously. ten points to the best answer. thanks

ok, so over the past few weeks or so my internet has been going haywire. When restarting the pc and turning the modem on and off didn't work i contacted the ISP (Tata Indicom) tech support who asked me to go to run>cmd>ping and ping 192.168.1.1, which worked fine and 202.149.208.68 (DNS server) for which i got a request timed out.

whenever the internet works i get a reply from 202.149.208.68 when it doesnt i dont. But even when i get a request timed out the internet guy at the other end of the phone claims that he's receiving the ping thing just fine and that the problems at my end.

I'd be inclined to believe that if it werent for the fact that the first time they finally sent someone to my home to check it out he said it was a problem from their end, second guy blaims the wiring. third guy the network card. fourth time their guy says i should probably reformat the pc. i'd started using opendns but the problem still remains. the tech support guys are worse than useless. i have no intention of reformatting the pc, though i really want to uninterruped internet again.

shouldn't be too expensive.
