You really need new speakers but if you are running on Windows 7 or later, you can try this:
Goto Speakers Properties
In the Enhancements tab, enable Loudness Equalization. |

| You can right-click on some empty space on the task bar and click "Show windows side by side" to tile all the non-minimized windows. Obviously you'll have to minimize all the programs you don't want first with this method. You can also start Task Manager. In the Applications tab, select the programs... |

| Seriously, dual boot will be much less work. If space is an issue, you can keep the Windows drive as internal and boot linux from the USB drive. If you really want to put Windows on the USB drive, normal re-install will NOT suffice. Only the embedded versions of Windows can boot from USB. I vaguely ... |

Someone already mentioned but I'll just ask again. How much memory your browser is using when it crashed? If you us... |

| OpenOffice can save file as .docx. If you don't use any complicated formating, M$ Office should open it just fine. There's also SoftMaker Office that is usually more compatible but only the 2008 version is free and I'm not sure that version can handle .docx. |

| I usually think of it as a highway. Voltage is the speed of the cars and current is the number of lanes. The watt is thus the number of cars passed per unit of time. So you can have few lanes but very fast cars or many lanes but slow cars but still get the same throughput. The AAA batteries simply d... |

| Dreamcast used Hitachi SH4 not ARM. SH4 is superscalar which ARM doesn't use until Cortex-A8. I think it's more CPU problem than OS. From what I gather, Snes9x isn't exactly smooth on iPhone 3G either. |

The difference in real world performance isn't that big but so is the price difference. At least that's the case for 4GB sticks. Another thing is that Gigabyt... |

| Because of contractual reason, mobile GPUs are traditionally excluded from the driver directly from AMD. Nowadays some manufacturers opt-in to allow AMD to provide direct support but it looks like Sony isn't one of them. If you can't get an up to date driver from Sony, try searching "modded mobile c... |

| It's not difficult to replace the fan, but it may be difficult to find a replacement fan that fits. There are however plenty of aftermarket GPU coolers. With these you replace both the heatsink and fan. It's a bit more involved than just replacing the fan but nothing too complicated. Arctic Cooling ... |

Will the place you buy from assemble it too? If you are building it yourself, make sure at least one of the GPUs is single slot to make room for the x-fi.
Also, Barracuda Green is geared towards power efficiency. I would suggest replacing the Windows boot drive with a non-green variant. |
