- DiVX is an Audio/Video format which utilizes the "DiVX Codec" which is a compression format of reasonably high quality of sound and video.
- No you can't overclock a bios but you can overclock a CPU (in some cases) - If you want to, even though I know of no monitors that comes with a monitor. Monitors don't need a fan. Just to prove this to you look at the back of your TV...no fan.....but it is warm. - No one makes a worse computer per say...it's a personal preference. - No Air!!! |

Yes there are hardware DiVX Players on the market that work like a DVD Player but with DiVX format. Maybe there is a DVD Player that also plays DiVX....I don't know.

Get a TFT, then you won't think about the fan thing because they're so cool

There WERE DIVX Players on the market, several years ago in conjunction mainly with Circuit City a DVD type disk and player were marketed that let you buy a DVD disk and then watch it a limited number of times before it would no longer play. The whole operation went tits-up after about 8 months and led to lawsuits which were settled. The settlement allowed owners of DIVX players to trade-i their players for standard DVD players and get a credit of, I believe a little over $100.00. The DIVX codec still exists and is used for viewing downloaded .avi
A BIOS does not continously work like a CPU or RAM does, instead it more or less is a set of instructions that set-up the hardware. It basically loads these instructions and then that is it until next time. There are tweaks that you can do to the BIOS which will optimize the instruction set. http://hardwarehell.com/bios.htm Monitors do not operate at very high temperatures(110 to 120 F) and therefore Natural convection is enough for cooling. Additionally the Color guns are sensitive to stray magnetic fields, even weak ones, as such even samll electric motors can corrupt the display or even damage the guns. Worst computer is kinda hard, afterall if an E-Machine costs $1300.00 it would be a bad computer, but at $499.00 it is probably the best for the price. The fact that the moon has gravity, even though it is one-sixth that of earth, it causes the concentration and focus of disruption rays to be focused on the earth as it rotates. This in turn causes people to jump at a chance to own PC CHIPS Super socket 7 boards with K6-2 Processors, put 3'x 3' stero speakers in the trunks of their cars, believe that Windows XP is the best thing ever, Join AOL and then defend it, and set on this forum all night. |

1 - A divx player is one that makes less than $1,000,000.00 / year
2 - You cannot overclock a bios unless you install higher voltage batteries. 3 - I knew a monitor in school, she had a zillion fans. 4 - The worst computers are made by Ford. 6 - The most dangerous fact about the moon is that you may freeze you butt off while doing it in the winter.

The Moon is outside of the Van Allen Belts. So if someone really did
walk on the Moon they would have never made it back alive. The Moon does not have a Van Allen belt nor does it have a protective atmosphere. It would be like being in a microwave oven. Your insides would be cooked. |
