Another computer question
Some of you may remember that I posted a question asking about specs for a computer I was thinking of building a few months back, I've got another question for you. The computer I ended up going with has onboard graphics (GeForce 8200 256MB). I'm wondering how much the video card has to do with the quality of movies. I've got some TV's shows/movies saved on my hard drive that are 640x480 (approx resolution), they're great when played at that size but watching in full screen they look a little distorted. If I get a high quality video card will they still look funky at full screen or will the card convert them to look good at the large resolution? I've already got a high-quality screen so it wouldn't be that.
P.S Here's what it looks like at full-screen http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/g...Resoultion.jpg

vid card doesnt have anything to do with it. the recording resalution does.
kind of like if you take a digi pic on a low res setting, then try to blow it up, it gets pixelated. Same thing with vids

Let me ask another computer related question. I am tired of having the same IP number. with that number "big brother" has the ability to snoop into my business and perhaps use information there to help steal my identity or steal information from me. HOW do I get a new IP number.

Nope, I never let anything from a forum make me mad. I should have read the rules better because I really didnt know having two screen names was a no no. I just dont like knowing that my service provider has the ability to reveiw every web site I have been on in the last 10 years. I feel like its no ones business but mine and I dont like being tied to an "ID" number. I pay them for their service (too much) only, not to keep friggin records on me. There is one forum about boats thats guarded by this old 80 year old fart that I would like to go back to and post. I was banned from it because I complained that he was letting some make slanted polictical post and not me....very unfair
