Why would you bother getting an all in one? You lose the portability of a laptop, it's more expensive than a desktop and you lose both the power and the upgradabilty of a tower.

waste of money, regardless of if it is an all in one.

What is the point in getting an all in one, you can get a very small M-ATX board and a small (maybe server) case, turn it up and add a screen, and its just a bit bigger and you can save lots of cash.

I don't have time to argue with mac fanboys, so ill just leave..

@Kanashto No, it wouldnt. An upscaled DVD just smooths out the edges and fills it up to an HD screen better than most HDTVs can do themselves. My living room TV with built in DVD player tends to upscale movies with action scenes at night time with a lot of digital artifacts, where there are none on the DVD itself.. an upscaled DVD player does it better so it looks good still.

So?

Upcaling all you want, even with those fake "CSI Miami" upscalers, all you end up getting more RESOLUTION which is not the same as DEFINITION. If you uscale a low-res 320p video you still get the same lack of clarity of details (definition), only a much bigger, slower to download and watered-down file that you cannot zoom a bit without getting all blurry.

Remember people: HD stands for High DEFINITION, not High RESOLUTION. Stop believing what you see in CSI Miami. That's a fake show.

@bg048 Go to CCC, under Avivo Video, all settings, scroll to the bottom "advanced quality" and check edge enhancement and turn it up.

I'm not sure if it works with WMP though, I use Cyberlink PowerDVD.

[bg048]

can someone in here tell me how to upscale the DVD with hardware acceleration, LOL. I got a ATI Radeon HD 4550, Windows XP, CCC. Playing the DVD with windows media player.

[Kanashto]

say there is dvd quality of that footage and 1080p quality of the footage, the upscaled dvd wouldn't match the original 1080p, right?

[denzel786]

all its doing is a lanczos resize then applying an edge sharpening algorithm.

PLACEBO

i see some but most people who say they can is probably placebo

There aren't really that many advantages as far as every day computing is concerned for having more cores. The kind of person who is buying computers for the sorts of money that "real" quad core's come in at tend to be gamers, and for gamers almost always a faster dual core is better than a slower clocked quad core.
