    Batman Arkham Asylum Demo out!

    A delay of a month and a half sounds reasonable in return for the kind of extras that PhysX brings in (Mirror's Edge type). Hopefully it's even better than that.

    thetoxicmind, your X2 3600 should be good for running the High Performance SMP Console version. If the WUs aren't completing before their deadlines, then you can run two instances of the Standard Console version. If you're feeling a bit more adventurous, you can run two instances of something...

    Xigmatek Achilles S1284 Heatsink + Xigmatek Crossbow ACK-I7753 Mounting Kit

    Will this work with a Sunbeam CCF? If so, I'll take it. Also not able to see the pics as it's blocked at my office. Pls wait till this evening and I'll confirm before 8pm. What's the condition of the double sided tape?

    Windows 7 Pagefile.

    Windows tends to swap out least recently used memory out to HDD to keep more RAM available for allocation at the drop of a hat. By disabling paging, you'll be ensuring that all of your loaded programs and their data is always in RAM, but should a memory allocation (especially for the OS itself)...

    Hauppauge Win TV PVR 150

    And that might be due to DXVA coming into the picture for GPU-based MPEG2 decoding in the background. But the fact remains that non-MCE tuners send raw audio/video to the TV viewer software while MCE-compatible tuners mandatorily have to send audio/video to MCE in MPEG2 format, which then needs...

    Hauppauge Win TV PVR 150

    Well, the flip side of a MCE-compatible TV Tuner (like the PVR150) is that the tuner must send the video in compressed format, so viewing itself will require CPU for decompression.

    How to make use of your full 4GB RAM with 32-bit Vista/7

    Some points to consider (for those who don't know it already) 32-bit versions of Windows Vista and Windows 7 (and for that matter, all previous versions of Windows) can typically use only a max of 3.25GB RAM even if you have 4GB physically plugged in The remaining .75GB is reserved for I/O...

    Hauppauge Win TV PVR 150

    That seems to be a Digital-only tuner, while you would presumably need an analog tuner (like the PVR 150) for your needs?.

    32 Bit Vista 3GB not 4GB?

    You heard right. Approx .75 to 1 GB gets reserved by the OS for device address space and it's the remaining 3 to 3.25GB that is available for software.

    How to create Autorun Disc with custom sequence?

    You'd have to write an autorun.ini file, but that'll allow you to run only a single executable. So you'll probably have to invoke a batchfile or something similar to launch your WMV first and the SWF next.

    Android livecd for x86

    Android is being ported onto more and more architectures apart from ARM. MIPS has completed such a port, but the effort is far from trivial even though it runs on top of Linux.

    Graphic Cards Suggest a graphics card within 10k

    GTX 260 SP216, especially the Palit Sonic, has lower idle and average power consumption than a HD4870 and just a bit more at peak loads. In terms of performance/watt, the 260 is approx 10% better than the 4870, as can be seen here and here. If you have an SLI capable board, adding on a second...

    CPU/Mobo India Microprocessor (India's own Processor, Finally!)

    I'm sure we have the brains to make this chip, but the real question is, WILL IT ACTUALLY SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY? Or will it end up like the Kaveri jet engine?

    Phone for wifi skype/voice chats ?

    I doubt you'll find any other standalone (no-need-for-PC) Skype phone at a better price in India. If you have a WinMobile phone with WiFi, you can run Skype on it. There is also a Java version that supports certain other Wi-Fi phones.
