    Realtek ALC892 vs. Sound Blaster Live 24-bit

    I am in the process of upgrading to an i7 setup, with a ASUS X58 Sabertooth. Realtek ALC892 is built in but I've always used a PCI card under the assumption that it was better to have a seperate sound card. However, the new mobo only has 1 PCI slot and I'm wondering if it's even worth it to...

    Got a promo email for this deal. Not sure if it's repeatable. Free shipping and no tax in many states. How is Newegg for shipping newly released software? Should I expect to have it on the 9th when it releases, or will they ship it out on the 9th?

    Starting WoW (again)?

    So, I've been playing MMOs since I was 17 (now 28) - AC, DAoC, SWG, AO, CoH, WoW (briefly) and recently AoC. Most of that time was playing DAoC (5+ years), because I loved the RvR concept and the dynamics of the game. However, they managed to lose me along with many others with some of the...
