I've noticed the Hd-dvd's on the market..So many to choose but there are basically no internal HD-dvd drives on the market for a decent price, I've heard about hacking the xbox hd-dvd player (USB) with the drivers that were made for windows xp.. Is this a flawless install, And is the quality TRUE hd when it is installed on XP? Thanks in advance.

I intermittently hear music and chinese talking like on radio coming through the speakers at a low level but audible. The speakers are connected to the bass box which is in turn plugged into the Audigy sound card. surely the speakers cannot act as a receptor for foreign radio without the PC being on? and even if it was on, why would i hear it? I have creative speakers and an audigy 4 sound card. i have an ASUS wireless card and i connect to my mates wireless router through this.

I custom building my first and I want to build around a E6600. I've selected the ASUS P5W DH DEULUXE w/ WiFi. But I've heard and read about alot of problems with the POSTing. Is this a good choice still or what do you guys suggest? I want a Mobo that is currently top of the line and that will permit me to upgrade later to maybe a Quad but also decently priced.
