Hello,

I am curious about the effectiveness about the Virtual Speaker technology from Dolby.
I guess those in the US are enjoying this on their TV's.

How effective is this? As compared to the real 5.1Ch, where would you rate it? Is it effective for Analog Stereo sources also? Does it require you to be in the dead centre listening position?

Anyone out there who could tell me if it makes sense the install them ...

There is no power button! At least not on the unit I received...

I'm kind of bummed because that was one of the things I liked about it. But if the rest is as good as the review, that will be great!

I have a duplication tower filled with Benq dw1655's. The tower hardware will let me update drive firmware with the bin file on a cd. Everywhere I look I can only download the windows installed for the benq and not just the bin file.

Any ideas on where to find the dw 1655 latest firmware as a bin file? (BCIB is the newest as of 12/2006). Thank you!

Sean

And another one...

Just recoded two movies to Nero Digital under Vista (Nero Std; QuickTime profile). Neither of them plays back properly in QuickTime Player (v7.1.3).

One gives an all green display; the other just say "Error -2002: a bad public movie atom was found in the movie".

Nero Recode (latest version) switches my PC out of Aero Glass mode and into Vista Basic. Anybody else get this?

I don't call being in-compatible with the Aero Glass interface as being "now compatible with Vista".

I just bought a WD Caviar SE16 250GB SATA300 7200RPM 16MB Buffer for $69.70 USD shipped to Florida.

Not smoking hot, but buy.com has a deal running now with Google's Checkout, $20 off an order of $50 or more and free shipping.

Not a bad deal at all.

$20 is $20 (which is $23 CDN).

I'll pick it up in January when I'm on vacation.

Over all I saved $33 CDN because of Buy.com & ...

I have a MSI 865PE Neo2-V mobo and a wireless Logitech combo (MX3000 laser). When I connect both keyboard and mouse to the 865PE through PS2 connectors it simply doesn't boot (black screen, nothing happens). If I connect only the keyboard, however, everything goes normally. I want to connect them via PS2 because I find this more stable and reliable than USB.

I think keyboard and mouse are OK because I used them for months ...
