Ok, I built a computer back in Sep 2007 with these specs

Coolermaster Centurian (sp) case
E6750 2.66ghz processor
4gb DDR2 800 ram
320mb 8800 GTS GFX card
700w OCZ Power Supply
74gb 10k Raptor
Gigabyte Mobo 1 pci express slot
22x LG DVD Burner

What im asking is it worth upgrading? I have a 1080P tv that I have connected to my computer and I want to be able to run games in 1920x1080. I would probably be playing FF XI, Unreal Tournament 3, and Fallout 3. If I do upgrade, what should I get?

It's normal. When buying movies, look at the aspect ratio on the back. If it's in the range of 1:45:1 or 2:4:1, it will have the bars. If they are 1:75:1 or 1:81:1, it will be full screen. I don't know any way of changing it and I don't think there is one.

You could probably get Samsungs plasma for cheaper, definitely can get their 61'' DLP for cheaper. Don't know about the 67'', Mitsubishi has a 65'' that should be around that price. X360PS3AMD05
If you would go for a Plasma, The Panasonic 50 inch 85U. It is probably the nicest looking tv I have ever seen and I honestly believe that the best Plasma's blow away the best lcd. They colors look truer if that is even a word. You could get it on Amazon for around $1850 or so with free shipping. http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-Viera-TH-50PZ85U-1080p-Plasma/dp/B00142MUEM/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1218032803&sr=8-2 If you are truly going for size, then there isn't anything wrong with the 67 inch Samsung dlp for a little under $2500. Owning a Sony 50 inch Sxrd in the living room, projections look really good when sitting at the right angle. Plus considering it's using LED, you don't have to replace a bulb every few years. If your going for maximum size, you go dlp. If you are looking for the best picture available, I would go with a Plasma.

Well, the 580 seems to be the newest model considering I havent seen it before. But doesnt really look any different the the a550 except 35k dynamic contrast instead of 30k. But for the 2 sets you choose, I would recommend the Sony V4100. I researched both tv's for awhile and after comparing side by side, the Sony's picture just looks a little more natural and most dynamic contrast numbers are bs anyways. But you really can't go wrong with either one. One thing to consider is buying one of these tv's on Amazon.com.

One thing to consider is buying one of these tv's on Amazon.com. You could get the a550 52 inch for only $1700 or for the price range that you were showing, you could order the a650 which has a better picture then both the a550 and the v4100. Also, the 120hz works killer on this set. It's $2300 with free shipping. Here is a link to both the A550 and A650.

Yes, the Dlp's with led do not use bulbs anymore so you don't need to replace them unlike past sets. If it is the Samsung 67 inch a750 series, get it. They are awesome living room televisions.

Ok, I got a drum set online and there is an issue with it. It did not come with a footpedal at all. I can't really return it because the crap company won't refund shipping or shipping it back so it would be more expensive to return it.

Im wondering if there are any places that sell the entire foot pedal?

Games were never on HD-DVD's. They were just on normal or Dual Layer disks. And the 360 can process HD video but only videos from the marketplace.

I was wondering how long Final Fantasy 12 is when you pretty much just shoot through the game and miss most of the side quest things. I'm thinking about playing it but heard the game is very long and rpg's start to really ware out on me at around 40 hours or so.
