I can get the 920XM for 200 euro. Is it worth the upgrade for starcraft 2? | ||

It would drastically increase loading times, however in mutliplayer you'd still be stuck waiting for your opponent to load the map; so the benefits for this are even questionable. SSD are really just now reaching the point where the amount of storage you get is cost effective. I think in another year or two the price point is probably going to fall dramatically, as happens with all technology when it gains widespread acceptace. So, there's no rush to invest in one quite yet, unless you've got some extra cash to spend. | ||

A 720QM should handle it fine. I guess you might see some increase, but 920XM is already a semi old platform, I wouldn't bother. You should still have nice quality with what you have. Is there any real difference in these monitors? Comparing some cheap IPS screens from Asus, LG, and Dell. From pure specs on Newegg (which isn't always reliable), I don't see why not to choose the Asus. High ratings as well (also not necessarily reliable) although LG has an anti glare screen I think. I would just go with Asus since it's extraordinarily cheaper, unless there is a glaring flaw with that panel. Note: The only games I play are SC2, LoL a little bit, and will play DiabloIII. | ||

Need to burn some CDs for my old car and I can't remember what I used to use. EDIT: Think I meant .WAV herp derp. EDIT2: And this correction has made it much easier to find the software. Never mind :D | ||

Is there any way that the upgrade actually improved my performance? I have an HD 6870, i3 2120, and a SSD if that makes any difference. I suppose it's possible, Windows 7 has a completely rebuilt audio engine and back end services that run much better on modern hardware than XP. Also, if that install was 32bit XP and you have more than 4GB of RAM, you were previously being capped at using 4 due to XP's limitations. | ||

There are clearly some tradeoffs here, so I'll leave it at that. Do what you want to do. | ||

So here is what I'm trying to do : I got 2 Words documents, with different page setup, margins. Both have headers and footers on their own. I want to combine both of them into a single file (the format doesn't matter, can be DOCX, or even PDF) but I need to keep the page setup of each of them! Anyway to do it with Microsoft Word? thank you | ||

Anyway to do it with Microsoft Word? thank you You can do this with section breaks, but it can get a bit tricky depending on what formatting needs to be different. Go to Page Layout tab, and find the "breaks" drop down menu. You probably want to use "Section Break Next Page". The next page (the one after the page you are currently looking at) will be in a different section. To set different margins, just set them to be whatever you want on each section. For headers, in the second section you have to un-click "Link to Previous", or it will still use the same header. If you want to number the pages sequentially, you will need to add numbers to the first section; then do so again for the second section but make sure you check "Continue From Previous Section" or it will start all over from 1. | ||

Keep in mind 6770 has a higher power draw than 8500gt, you may need a new psu if you get crashing under load. | ||
