FInally had enough of my PC fucking about so i gave it to my mate who ripped the lot out

Fitted new motherboard,memory,graphics, prossesor ect ect......fuck knows what

All i know is that my 22" widescreen moniter is the fucking bollocks and i now have Vista so i can watch the 100 odd HD movies that are on my Hard-drive...through Vista...through the Xbox360 and onto the 42" Plasma in proper HD

Got LOADS of HD films at the flick of a switch now

Matt

hd movies will be 20+gb file sizes so you must have one huge hard drive there titfanny

i just connect my laptop direct to the plasma

TIFF

Matt

I have

Fuck connecting things....mine is all ready set up, just the touch of a button away

Matt

ok im gonna call your bluff...

how big?

TIFF

I have 2 500GB Hard-drives and 500GB in the Tower

My mate built it all and sorted it out last night....i know fuck all about these computer things

All i know is that 300 is fucking mental in HD

Matt

ok so 1.5tb drive space thats a fair amount lol

what file size is 300 for example? they must be 720p hd versions not 1080p if youve got 100's of em in that space 1080p really are 20gb a shot

fair play though ive seen true hd in action and its AWESOME as you say

TIFF

Matt

I lost you at "1.5tb"

300 is 21.2 GB

Black Hawk down is 27.1gb

1080p BABY

Vista does not actually support true high definition such as 1080p as Vista requires that any interface that provides high-quality output degrade the signal quality that passes through it if premium content is present. This is done through a “constrictor” that downgrades the signal to a much lower-quality one, then up-scales it again back to the original spec, but with a significant loss in quality. So if you're using an expensive new LCD display fed from a high-quality DVI signal on your video card and there's protected content present, the picture you're going to see will be, as the spec puts it, “slightly fuzzy”
Its part of the content protection system of Windows Vista, if its going through Vista its simply not 1080p HD
This is without discussing limitations of current PC hardware with regards to HD

the 22" screens are the tits
but it's possibly verging on the just too big to be compfortable with screen for basic computer useages

besides, it's alsmot too big for the table top

My 19"samsung widescreen is big enough for me at the moment, if anything happened to this id get a 20" but no bigger.

And yeah Vista is great, looks 10 times nicer than XP

Tiff what version of Vista you got installed? ive got Ultimate

Not much at all, nothing worth mentioning even

The main thing is you have full Aero
