After battling a red virus for a week, I ended up dealing with external hemorrhoids after just a few days. Naturally, I went to see my doctor. Honestly? Neither the pills nor the creams did a damn thing. So, on Monday, I headed down to the pharmacy to pick up some Hemerodin capsules from Encyan. Since I started taking them on Monday, this external hemorrhoid—which had been bothering me for over 20 days—has almost completely vanished.

So, I'm looking at picking up a graphics card and I'm weighing a few options. What's the verdict on XFX?
Basically, I'm leaning towards this one:

PCI-E XFX AMD Radeon HD 5670, 512MB DDR5, HDMI, DP, DVI, HDTV

Product Code:

Which one of these should I grab?

1.
XFX PCI-E graphics card, AMD Radeon HD 4350, 512MB DDR5, HDMI, DP, DVI, HDTV-$246

2
Sapphire PCI-E graphics card, AMD Radeon HD 4350, 1GB DDR3, DVI, D-SUB, HDTV-$240

Please let me know. Thanks.

First off, the cheapest option, Windows 7 Starter, is pretty crippled. You can only run three apps at once, and you're stuck with limited screen resolution—it’s basically designed for those low-end netbooks. You also lose out on Aero and plenty of other features like Windows touch and Live thumbnail, even if it does keep the updated taskbar.

The Home Basic version doesn't have those application limits, includes Live thumbnail, and offers decent networking support. If you step up to Home Premium, you get everything mentioned above, plus the Aero look, multi-touch support, and Windows Media Center enhancements.

As for the Professional version, think of it as Home Premium but with backup capabilities, remote desktop host functionality, and a few other minor extras. For those looking at Windows 7 Business or Ultimate, you're getting the heavy hitters: BitLocker, DirectAccess, AppLocker, and the ability to boot from a virtual device.

If you're running a dual-core processor, obviously you should go with 64-bit.
If you don't have the bits, you'll just have to settle for x86 or 32-bit.
Personally, I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

When I'm watching movies, it honestly feels like the picture quality isn't nearly as crisp as it was back on Windows XP.

For goodness' sake, I am currently in the process of purchasing a Corsair VX450

I second that, especially regarding the 64-bit version of Vista.
