    Dolby Digital with X-Fi

    I knew that I saw this before. Took me a while to find. If you want to send your 5.1 analog to a receiver without the analog inputs, creative actually does have a solution. It's a DTS external encoder. No clue if it's worth the time but here's the link...

    bios shows 4GB windows shows 2GB

    Vista 64 sees 4 gb on my computer and 2.5 under XP and Vista 32. The dual 7900 GT's suck up a bunch of memory for some reason.

    Antec Neo 480 reliability - small statistical sample

    I've contacted Antec about two Neo's that I've recently purchased that both died in the first 1 minute. They basically said that the neo's have very tight tolerances and that you need an HE (high efficiency) compliant chipset. They also recommended checking amps before purchasing.

    Chipset Installation Confusion & Other ?'s

    Stay with the MOBO manuf. in case they've made enhancements. Check their site if they've updated it. (Chances are that intel's would be fine but use the manuf.) Match the colors so yes you were correct. Yes, your order looks fine. I install DirectX last but that's probably wrong. I'd...

    Intel Boxed Kits BTX

    Does anyone know exactly what the difference is between the Intel Pentium D 830's? There is one that is listed normally on newegg and then one that's listed as BTX version. What exactly is the difference? Is it just the heat sink? Thanks

    Price/Performance

    Mostly gaming (Doom 3, Half-Life 2, F.E.A.R...). Some office work. 1 1/2 to 2 years between upgrades if possible.

    Price/Performance

    Anyone see any price/performance charts on AMD processors? I'm getting the itch to build a computer and am considering moving from Intel to AMD. However, I get very confused with the cores and sockets when trying to look at performance. Budget would be around $250-$300 for the processor. Any...

    Thanks guys. I'm just trying to make sure it won't be butt ugly at a playable fps.

    diablo is getting old and stale. Need help

    I enjoyed NWN. I only played Single player though. There seem to be more calculations going on about the environment. Even interactions with NPC's can be affected by your charisma and persuation skills. However, I thought this made it more interesting not less. I thought the platinum pack was...

    BF2/5900 Ultra

    Anyone know if a 5900 Ultra will be sufficient for Battlefield 2 with a P4 3.0 Ghz and 1 GB Ram? I'd like to run it at med/high settings. Thanks, Rhys

    Toss The Dell MoBo, Save The P4C 2.6

    I have approximately 500+ Dells where I work. They aren't speed demons but they certainly aren't abnormally slow. I do completely rebuild the OS on each and don't leave them with the factory install. Is the memory your using matched? If you have mismatched memory, it's possible that it's...

    Worst videocard you have ever bought.

    The four Ti4600's I went through. Each had the memory burn out on them (two completely different computers each went through two cards). The last card wasn't even used for gaming. Each manufactor didnt' put passive cooling on the memory. One MSI 4600 and three PNY 4600's. They finally...

    3.2GHz Dual-Core Extreme Edition Reviews

    I understand the article is 2 years old. XP is even older. I'd like to see something definitive that shows a Windows XP Home edition running one physical processor with four logical processors or Windows XP Pro using two physical processors with 4 logical processors each. Until I see that, I'm...

    3.2GHz Dual-Core Extreme Edition Reviews

    I came across this document off Microsoft's site which some of you may or may not find interesting. http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/CEC/HT-Windows.mspx XP Pro will support a maximum of 4 logical processors and Home will support 2. This would mean that even though the licensing model for...
