Hi there, I'd like the help of you techsters.

My work has just given me a $1000US allowance with which to buy a computer. I'd like to know what sort of machine I can get here in Thailand with that kind of cash.

Background:

The computer would basically be used for internet surfing, but I do play the occasioanal game here and there. I recently bought Neverwinter Nights 2 at MBK and it won't play on my laptop, as I need a 128mb videocard. I'd like to be able to play that game, and I'd like a computer that is modern enough that I won't be crying myself to sleep with NES emulators while my students are playing Halflife 7.

Other than that, I record some of my own music as a hobby using Nuendo. Also, I'd like to be able to burn DVDs, etc.

So, I was hoping to get your advice on what the best deal I can get for this kind of money is. I've searched through some of the online computer stores, but I cna't make heads or tails of most of the specs that they list. I noticed that Core Duo 1.83 processors seemsto be a hot commodity, but I really bow to anyone else's expertise in this matter.

Oh, last thing, all of this will have to be new equipment. In other words, I have to be able to show receipts for the stuff.

Thanks kindly folks,

BFD!

Friends, the OP is not talking about his Desktop picture or his 'error' noises. He/she wants to change the black Windows XP screen, as well as the enigmatic noise, that occurs when the computer is turned on.

I remember this used to be very easy to do in Win98, but I haven't tried it on XP just yet. Anyway, Google seemed to have favoured me over you and I found this link:

As I said, I haven't tried it myself, but it looks easy enough. Chok dii!

Cheers,

BFD!

Do you have any idea how I can get a copy of this film? I live in Canada, but I'll be moving to Bangkok in July.

The reason I'm so interested is that I'm in this movie. When I was in Chiang Mai last February (or so), I was an extra at the Bar Beer Centre near Tapae Gate. SO, I wanna so how I turned out in my debut performance!

Thanks,

BFD!
