    VIDEO: Girl Plays Rock Band With Flute

    shes quite good at playing the flute, considering that the vocal section is really only based on tone and pitch, this makes perfect sense. such a quality song by the way, sounds good on the flute too.

    How do I use HDTV as a Computer monitor

    hmm, i have not been able to get anything higher then 1024x768 to show up correctly. i have an x1950pro with the latest drivers. the only thing i can come up with is that i am using an s-video cable to hook up pc to the tv. i think i will go pick up a cheap dvi-hdmi cable and see how that goes.
