There is a util I can download that will let me clock it back up to 900Mhz or even higher if I want to, but I haven't downloaded it yet. It has a built-in webcam and mic, runs natively at 800x480, but can run at 800x600 with scrolling up/down, or thare is a third party driver that can go up to 1024x768 on the stock screen. It has a little solid state drive (4 gig) with the full version of Windows XP Home and Microsoft Works on it, which uses up half the drive, but it also has an SD flash slot, which I already have put another 4 gig in it with. It's got three USB ports, an ethernet port, mic & headphone jacks, a VGA out, the SD flash slot, and has WiFi, which is what Im on right now in the backyard. -- Remove YourHeadFromYourAss to Reply by email ________ ____ / ____/ /__ ____ ____ / __ )____ / / __/ / _ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ / __ \ / /_/ / / __/ / / / / / / /_/ / /_/ / \____/_/\___/_/ /_/_/ /_/_____/\____/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Glennbo http://www.soundclick.com/glennbo Non-Linear Sound http://www.soundclick.com/jambits Hear My Music http://www.soundclick.com/ThePseudonyms

So, you can wirelessly control your HTPC? You can't do full res video over wireless, can you? IOW, if order to fill a TV screen, you need a wire, right?
