I'm in the process of building a HTPC using MythTV, probably with MythDora or MythBuntu as the OS.  Anyways, I need a good motherboard with TV out, either via headers on the board or on the back panel.  I mostly need S-video or plain old RCA, but if my family ever comes out of the dark ages and buys a new TV, RGB headers or HDMI would be ...

Someone already suggested the free version of Everest (which I too would include).  I would also recommend the free Belarc Advisor,  CPU-z, and  CrystalCPUID.  Warning on CrystalCPUID, it can make powerful and potentially destructive (overclocking) changes to your system if you access those functions -- on purpose.  Also ...

This is actually a 2 part question.  I will post what I sent to Newegg Customer Support.  (They sent me here, of course.  Which is, well, heh, heh, why I'm here!  ) #1 - I am currently pricing a very close to top of the line system and since most of the components are going to come from newegg, I thought that I might ask you ...

Hey guys. I've got a fairly strange problem...
