Hardware - December 2007

I would like a video card that supports hardware acceleration for x264 mkv video (up to 1080p). This is important to me because my cpu is a few years old and want smooth playback (have a p4 2.8ht).

Ok well he wants to buy MSI NX8600GT-T2D256E OC GeForce 8600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI however im having trouble distinguishing if his current mobo is a PCI or AGP because hes just telling me that his video card is NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 but im thinking it might be integrated to his mobo because of the included nForce 430. Any help is appriciated :)

our computer recently had problems, so we did a system restore after backing up our files...we have a widescreen monitor, and when we changed the resolution from the default (which was much too low) to 1600 x 900, my digital pictures look squashed. I tried setting it to 1400 x 1050, but the compuer wouldn't let me- it said "input not supported."
Would this setting make my pictures look like they should?
Is there some update, which the computer didn't have in the factory condition to which we restored it, which would allow me to set the resolution to this size?

thanks for the help.

My roommate was dusting her computer, and when she was done, the screen was upside down! The monitor itself, is right-side up, of course, but the picture on the monitor is upside-down. I've never seen this before. Does anyone know how this might have happened, and how to put it back?

Does all memory work in all computers? Can you mix and match memory, like have one brand in one slot and another in a different slot?
