    Am I retarded? Why aren't these headphones working?

    I just purchased my first headset. My headset is a Logitech Extreme 3.5mm Connector Supra-aural PC Gaming Headset. I plugged them in the back of my soundcard and.... nothing. The silence is deafing. Windows Vista isn't detecting any new hardware, and it says I don't have headphones plugged...

    Tri-SLI with the GT or GTS?

    From what I understand Tri-SLI with the 780i Nforce boards only works with the 8800GTX and 8800 Ultra atm. Why won't Tri-Sli work with the 8800GTS or GT? Is it a hardware issue or a driver issue? Does Nvidia have any rumored plans to make Tri-Sli work with either the GT or GTS? What about the...

    SLI with two different card manufacturers

    I have a 8800GT made by BFG. I am thinking about purchasing another 8800GT and running them in SLI. My question is this: If I purchased a 8800GT made by a company like EVGA or Asus, could I still run it in SLI with my current 8800GT made by BFG? I -think- I can. I think this was ironed out...

    Can't burn Vista to a dvd

    My DvD discs are 4.7 gb, but Nero keeps saying that I can't burn Vista because it exceeds 2 gb. Whats going on here? I made up-bock copies of oblivion just fine, and thats well over 2 gb. Is it because the ISO is a single file, and discs can't support a single, 2 gb file?

    Will there be a profound difference between the 7900 gt and the gtx ?

    Nvidia released the 6800 GT with similar specs to its ultra counter part.. despite a massive price tag difference. This lead to lots of GT sales, and very few ulta sales ( relatively speaking of course... ) I think Nvidia realised their mistake in releasing a beefy GT, I think thats why they...
