When I stream movies via media center from my PC to my PS3, is it using my PC or PS3 to play it? Also, are all HDMI cables the same in terms of quality? If not, is there like a comparable number on the package I can compare or something?

Thanks

So I looked around for a bit and it appears that I would only need HDCP support if I am connecting with HDMI-DVI, is that correct? So if I am connecting my PS3 or Xbox to a monitor via HDMI-HDMI, I wouldn't have to worry about HDCP? Any computer monitor or tv with a HDMI port would work in that case right?

Thanks

Can I play my PS3 or Xbox 360 in HD on any computer monitor or TV as long as it has a HDMI port? On a similar note, is there a noticeable difference between a monitor with a 800:1 contrast ratio and one that has a 1,000:1 ratio?

Thanks

Is the PS4 or Xbox 720 going to come out before 2011? I don't want to get a PS3 if new systems are going to come out in a year.

Anyway, I just have some questions regarding the PS3. Gamestop.com says that the system comes with a free PS Network membership, is that for a lifetime or just the first month or two? And how does charging the wireless controllers work? Is it like the Xbox 360 where I have to buy a separate charger or some other accessory? And is there a gamer score system like the Xbox, where you get points from accomplishments in games?

Thanks in advance for answers to my questions

I was wondering if running SLI or CrossFire significantly improves gameplay on average? If so, would the two cards need to be running at the same speed? Because the motherboards that I've seen with 2 PCI-E x16 slots have the two slots running at different speeds, x8 and x4.

As for the fans, can anyone who has a case with a top fan or two confirm if they are safe from debris falling inside the case? I've seen mixed responses on different boards as to whether it happens on a regular basis. And would I need fans that are capable of running at different speeds if I want to adjust the their speed with a fan controller? Or can fan controllers override fans that only run at one speed and make them adjust or something?

Thanks, I know it's a lot of questions but I just want to make sure I know what I am doing.

That's the though, I don't know what brand fan controller has the best quality, nor do I know what to look for in a quality fan controller. How do fan controllers work? Does it plug into the motherboard and control the fans through the mobo? So all the fans need to be connected to the mobo to be accessible by the fan controller?

Thanks

Hi, I'm looking to build a computer soon and I want to get a fan controller for the fans but I have no idea how they work. Can I control the fans that came with the case with the controller or is its control restricted to fans I add on later?

I'm going to get this case, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021, if it helps.

Thanks

If the CPU type description of a motherboard doesn't include Phenom II X4, but the motherboard supports AM2+ socket; would a Phenom II X4 CPU with AM2+ socket still work with that motherboard?

Thanks
