Good choice on going with XFX. I prefer them and BFG when it come to video cards if only for the lifetime warranties, double lifetime in the case of the XFX cards.

the warrenty is also what I like about XFX.

The kit looks like you're going to get everything you need. Except you need to get more ram. At least another 512 stick.

I'm not sure about Abit. Andsectoid is pretty good about the brands of mobos. Hopefully he will have a comment.

Do any of you guys have experience with Leadtek cards? That's what I have right now but I want to upgrade it this summer. I noticed that somehow Leadtek cards aren't even listed on benchmarks so it leaves me wondering...

My Duron 750 system had an ABit mobo, the chipset fan died and the computer kept chuggin along.

My next PC is going to be bought after AMD makes the jump to 65nm. That way all the 90nm stuff gets cheaper since I want an FX based system.

Do you have DDR DIMMS 400 MHz?

That's what it takes... a different type won't fit and a different speed will probably not be recognized.

Ok, here's my question, hopefully someone can help me because I just keep doing something wrong.

Getting stuff on my iTunes/iPod is easy. I have no problems what so ever getting music on and set up how I want it...

But movies are another story. I know they have to be a certain format, I havent seemed to have any problems converting stuff that I have...BUT I cannot figure out how to get the damn things to show up in my iTunes to put them on my iPod >_< I've tried putting them in the iTunes files/directory for video or whatever it is (Im at work so I cant get too specific since my stuff is set up at home) but even when I thought I had them in the right place, they will not show up in my movies directory...

I know I'm doing something wrong, I just dont know what, and its irritating the shit out of me >_< Pardon moi...potty mouth Mr. Green

Can someone help? Sad

I'm sure Una can answer this one seeing as how he just converted all of the PO vids for iPod and PSP usage. All I know is that they have to be in mpg4 format and sometimes iTunes will convert some files for iPod usage, but I don't know the specifics.

Right, I know that much, but I cant select a video to reformat or whatever if it doesnt even show up in my listings >_<

But then again I just may be retarded Smile

Mommy does tell me I'm special
