Hello,
I am interested in building a Media Center PC, to be able to stream recorded television shows to an Xbox 360 (for HD output), and then into a television. However, I have a couple of questions regarding this matter.
I have found the answers to the majority of my questions in the Microsoft Windows Media Center Edition FAQ on Microsoft's website. The three major questions that I have not found answers to are:
Can I connect the Media Center PC and use the Local Area Network on the Media Center PC? (Can I view the Media Center PC's files, play LAN games with Media Center PC on a different computer that runs Windows XP? Also, could I use a network printer on the Windows Media Center PC?)
Would a dual core processor, a AMD Athlon 64 Bit 3800+ X2 have more power or perform more efficiently than (for an example) an AMD Athlon 3800+ single core processor?
Another question to the folks that have used Windows Media Center 2005 is that, can I stream videos to other devices that haven’t been recorded using Windows Media Center? (Could I send previously recorded television shows to the Xbox 360 for playback on the television even if the videos were not recorded using the built in features of the Media Center PC?)
Thanks
Mitch

Hi,
as part of a project, my intention is to connect the parallel port to the UART module of another chip.. using Win XP.
it would be good, if i can find some reference to such work before..,
please help..

Buffer the parallel data and move them out into the serial, it can be done with a buffer chip like 74HC244, but remember to take care of the timing, the easier way of-course is to write a program for a PIC or any other microcontrollers that you might have to take in the parallel data and transport them to the UART,

Do you use any SECS/GEM driver currently in your development?

I thought I would throw this out to fellow CPians.
My home office is small, and I need a server machine to test some development
ideas. Bleeding edge cpu is not important, nor is graphics, but decent dual hard
drives are.
Being that the office is small, I need a quiet system as reasonable possible.
Any suggestions for equipment?
thanks

Mainly raid, performance tests, but the main requirement is being quiet.

Does anyone know if there is software access to the wireless power switch you often see on notebook PC's nowadays? I've been asked to see if there is a way to "simulate" the switch function (turn off the wireless) through a program. I have some code that disables the NIC but he wants to actually shut the power off to the xmters as well if it can be done.
He said that his notebook has a key combination that does the power on/off rather than a slider or toggle switch. Is this done through the bios? How would that work and would I be able to access that function in some way?
Thanks,
Dave

I Got This New Shiny Little PIC Programmer, With It I Downloaded A Program For It... But It Is All In HexDecimal
So...
I Would Like To Know If Anyone Knows Where I Can Download Somthing That Will Convert BASIC Into HexDecimal Code.
Please!!!

Check the manufactures website for a compiler. This is just a hunch, but I think it;s more likely that they'll offer C/C++ than basic. C is the traditional 1st compiler for an architecture and it's unabashed exposing of hardware guts makes it better suited for low level programming, especially on slower hardware. If you're really unlucky they might not offer anything other than assembly. In that case, if the only language you have is basic, I'd consider seeing about exchanging it for a different model that does support a higher level language if possible.

U mean that u want to use the BASIC language for
programing PIC .
There are some compiler availble in the market for
it but i fear they are expenisive .
Hi-Tech comiler uses C language to program PIC Mc.
