    asus ares II vs nvidia geforce gtx titan?

    The Ares II is a dual-GPU card that's much more powerful than a Titan. But the Ares II also much more expensive than a Titan, so you'd have to compare apples to apples, such as a PAIR of Titans. The Ares II even beats other dual-GPU cards like the Radeon HD 7990 and GeForce GTX 690 in most...

    Just download the Divx player or VLC media player. I prefer VLC personally- it's smaller, faster and can play just about anything... http://www.divx.com/ http://www.videolan.org/ You can also download them from CNET's download.com website...

    Can a barebones computer handle 24/7 bittorrent traffic?

    Yeah that would work... just invest in a good quality (brandwise) power supply. It doesn't need to be high wattage, but something from Antec, Seasonic, Silverstone or Enermax is going to provide more stable voltages and last longer than some bargain psu from Diablotek, Logisys or Coolmax.

    Will an external DVD drive work with a netbook (Just for watching DVD movies)?

    Yes it should work. External DVD drives usually come with DVD playback software. And you can always download VLC media player, already suggested by Techno. However, the graphics adapters on netbooks are often very low-end models. It's possible that yours might not be able to handle DVD...

    What is a good free software for burning dvds that supports DIVX and Xvid?

    You need authoring software to make regular DVDs out of DivX and Xvid movies. Free burners won't do that....

    directv receiver error message. authorization has expired?

    They just finally got around to deactivating it. If it kept working for awhile after they stopped billing you for it, you were lucky ;) They charge for those things, it's not something you "should be getting for free" unless your plan says the receiver is free. And yes, you need to update...

    Are there any gadgets in Quantum of Solace or are there none like in Casino

    Casino Royale at least had a FEW gadgets (car glovebox) but Quantum of Solace was gadget-free other than the phone. Poor Q must have been caught in the recent layoffs!

    Unplugging USB device causes Internet to disconnect?

    It sounds like you've got too many USB devices drawing power from the system bus. This can easily happen if you're using a cheap unpowered USB hub for extra ports. A cheap, easy solution- buy a powered USB hub (one with it's own AC adapter) and plug some devices into that, instead. That way...

    Sci-fi 'computer networking' scene, Battlestar Galactica?

    That WAS an episode of Battlestar Galactica (the new series)... season 2 perhaps? Galactica was accidentally separated from the fleet and needed to calculate jump coordinates back- it would take hours if they didn't network the computers together for faster calculation. They couldn't last...

    I had to reformat my hardrive and lost my internet connection. How do I get it back?

    There should be a drivers CD which came along with the computer- just like the system restore CD. Install the driver software for the wireless card from that.

    Free wifi internet at the expense of a neighbour?

    It depends upon the laws in your area- here in the USA, use of an unsecured WiFi network without the owner's permission is actually a FELONY (not a misdemeanor) so that reduces the temptation quite a bit. Browsing for available networks is ok, just don't use 'em. But in practice, people do it...

    I just bought one and even though I did a project on them a few years ago for school I don't remember where I got my info. And I'm too lazy to search on my own. ^_^

    Buying A Pc ( 2nd Hand,basic,internet Ready+cheap )?

    You can check Ebay, but beware the shipping costs for heavy items like PCs. I don't know if South Wales has craigslist, but it's great here in the USA- it's essentially an electronic classified ads- listings of people selling stuff in various local areas. If someone is selling a used PC...
