The amps should work fine as long as you keep their current draw below the 3A that the power supplies can provide - i.e. keep their output well below maximum (bear in mind that the amp will draw significantly more power than it delivers to the speakers). If you exceed the rating of the power...

1) The data on the tapes will be in standard-definition DV format which is 720x480 in NTSC countries and 720x576 in PAL/SECAM. It's likely to be interlaced, although some camcorders were capable of recording progressive video. The audio will normally be 16-bit 48kHz stereo PCM (although other...

The CPU and discrete graphics will be a very good trade; find out how much memory it has, though. If it's less than 8GB, you'll want to budget for an upgrade (I'd go for 16GB if possible). Also, you should budget for an SSD as you'll really notice how slow a hard drive is after being used to an...

Unless the architecture program is particularly demanding on the graphics side, the discrete graphics isn't going to make much difference for you. (I'm not sure that it would anyway - it's fairly low-end.) The two CPUs are clocked similarly and there's not that much difference between the 6th...

Some smart TVs support USB hubs (some manufacturers even recommend using a powered hub rather than plugging things directly into the TV) but I don't know whether LG ones do. Your bet bet might be to ask LG support if your specific model supports USB hubs, unless you happen to have (or can...

I don't know what the performance is like, but did you install the VirtualBox Direct3D drivers on XP? I think you have to install the guest additions in safe mode or something to enable the option.

Is it broken? Yes. Is it fixable? Yes. Will it be cost-effective to fix? I don't know. The LCD panel is cracked. A replacement panel will be required to fix it. Laptop panels are fairly cheap and easy to obtain and generally not too difficult to install. I don't know what the situation is...
