anyone from the dfistreet forums saw this coming. my friends and I consider the 939 lanparty the best socket 939 motherboard ever made. i really loved (and miss) dfistreet. Happy Games/Angry Games, Rgone, and Oskar (even if he was using hand picked components) offered some amazing support and...

ugh, i too had a terrible experience with HP printer support. the rep i talked to was so apathetic of my request that it was disrespectful. he kept giving me advice that i had already followed even when i told him what i have tired. i never did get the printer working and return it. WORST...

I guess I should add that this isn't from personal experiance. Thats just what I would be worried about if I was doing the same thing for myself. I'm sure a generic Y spitter would work in a pinch, I just don't think its optimal. Network seems the way to go for quality. I wish you luck with...

if you have two computers (READ two sound cards) and one set of speakers i would just link one sound card's out to the others in. But you have the AIW I see... which uses a Line-In. Also, you'd have to have the computer plugged into the speakers on all the time. (something tells me that your...

Because this was such a difficult decision, I let my wallet decide and I bought the Shuttle. The ABIT NF7-S wasn't quite the "no-brainer" I had hoped for. I really love ABIT's support for us enthusiasts but the NF7-S just doesn't sit right with me. A lot of people love their NF7-S to death...

no Beyerdynamic? wow, that is a good price Mister X

Oops, I goofed on the Shuttle model number: AN35N Ultra. I fixed my previous post. Seems the volt mods for the Shuttle don't help it much. (I stand corrected, the volt mods really make this baby sing. RAM seems to be the common limiting factor) I'm leaning towards the ABIT but I need to...

here is the problem: when you have two surfaces with lots of movement (in this case mouse and mousepad) things are going to wear down. I've been through 3 ratpadz simply from use. The old ones lasted longer then the new GS ones :( lube sounds like a great way to reduce the fricton and...

I'm over due for a motherboard upgrade: I'm finally sick of my gigabyte GA-7DXR. Despite its age, its a great board. I have it running at 150MHz FSB stable, and it won't let me go faster. I have the multiplier maxed at 12.5 so my Athlon XP 1.4GHz is at 1.8GHz. I have a feeling that she can...

thats a computer and a half :eek:

Any system monitoring program or bios voltage readings will most likely be off. Looks normal to me. You would need a volt meter to take some actual measurements, then you would know how much they are off. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the monitoring chip may not be calibrated right but...

PCP&C all the way. Call 'em up and tell 'em how to make your PSU, its great. :D I don't trust MBM or BIOS voltage readings either. ...just hold a PCP&C unit. They just radiate quality. ( damn, i hope i don't sound like a fanboy... :p ) I got one a year ago. put it into my...

yea, they make little tools to pop them in and out. they are not expensive: http://www.svc.com/sleeving-tools.html

you could try the kx drivers and compair them with the creative drivers: http://kxproject.lugosoft.com/index.php?language=en you could also play with NCH Tone Generator: http://www.nch.com.au/tonegen/ Dan reviewed the bithead and a diy cmoy amp: http://www.dansdata.com/bithead.htm and...

rca to mini-jack would work just fine. well, there are entry HT-in-a-box for all kinds of price ranges. Some aren't bad either. What is the most important to you when it comes to audio: games, movies, or music? How much money are you willing to spend on this?

kx doesn't support A2ZS yet :( If you know some trick to getting them to work please lemme know. I don't know of any fancy tricks with the audigy drivers but they are pretty tame. I get the drivers from the web site.

i'd like to second the kx driver project www.kxproject.com Now they don't offer all the 'features' that creatives drivers do (like EAX support) but they are more stable. I have yet to get my hands on my own SB Live Value for some sound quality testing, but on the computers I've installed...

This is what i get for opeing my god damn mouth... :confused: All I can do is share my personal thoughts and experiances, nothing more nothing less. I have an A2ZS, I wish I bought a Revo. Thats my story and I'm sticking to it.

I chose the Audigy 2 ZS over the Revo because I have a CPU challenged machine (1.4GHz @ 1.8GHz and my mobo won't let me go faster :D ) I think it sounds just fine with games and music... but thats just because I haven't heard the Revo yet. :p My Swans M200 should have a Revo though. After...

i've used ID3-TagIT but it puts extra marks in your tags :mad: i like and use mp3tag myself http://www.mp3tag.de/en/ there is also case's tag program. its command line, but super fast. http://www.saunalahti.fi/cse/index.php (looks like he's in the process of redesigning his web page...

It does say Moderator under you name right? Don't act so humble... ;) We are mindless sheep in need of a shepherd. And your totally right, we are off track. We can condence the asking questions into one part and post it at the end. Hmmm, questions I get asked all the time... My mic is...

Just lemme know how I can help. Starting with the "how to ask questions" sounds like the best place to start. In addition to what we have already (godsmadclown's first post) I suggest: Asking For Audio Technical Support If you are looking for technical support be sure to to post as much...

the "how to ask questions" is an absolute MUST but we could also state that the audio forum is ALWAYS flooded with noobie "WHAT SOUNDCARD?" / "WHAT SPEAKERS?" threads that educated audio enthusiasts simply ignore. maybe it would be better to break the FAQ into parts like sound cards...

I have a sub 2GHz as my main box. My motherboard is overclocked to the max (12.5 multi and 150FSB is as fast as it'll go) I'm going to squeeze every last bit out of my box before it gets passed on to a network server or my parents or something. I would LOVE to upgrade. Hell even just a new...

If i could just find a flashing utility for western digital hard drives, i'd attempt to back up the two firmwares that are on each drive now. I'd also try to put, what i belive to be the later firmware (bigger number means later version right :p ) If it didn't work or something went terriably...

not even an hour goes by and a reply; you guys are great. :) I'll look into the WD data lifeguard tools again later to day and post what happens.

I have two western digital 120GB special edition drives, EIDE. i was doing a low level format (or is it called zero fill?) to one preping for a fresh install of windows xp. (I know, writing all zeros is a bit extreme... but thats not my question.) Using the western digital's data lifegaurd...

yea logitech's bump but i'd like to submit a vote for the labtec pulse 420 ($36 w/ free s/h on newegg) my brother got them for christmas. nothing fancy, but he likes them. you might find better value in a pair of headphones with your budget. just my 2 cents

I say more for the soundcard because I was under the impresion that mr obyj34 uses headpones more often then speakers for sound enjoyment. Although, I dunno how great these headphones are... Otherwise I am in agreement, the speakers/headphones need to be as good if not better then the...

hell, i was happy with my midiland 2.1 set with a muse 5.1 dvd :p that is on a budget of $40 (give or take) i have an audigy 2 zs now and a love/hate relationship with it but mostly love (READ: positive experiance) i do enjoy the small enhancement to the gaming experinace and EAX is kinda...

i 2nd the porta pros But you mentioned "a lot of hair" so i sould mention that the metal head band sliding adjustment thingy has a tendency to pinch and pull hair. other then that they sound like they are worth twice what you pay for them. I do get sick of wearing them for very long periods...

my condolences you have my love and respect, from [H]-er to [H]-er

I was going to say check your ASPI layer but if the program started to rip then that shouldn't be the problem. This one has me stumped. There is always EAC. I'm not familar too much with CDex, its been a while. I've since switched to EAC. I'm going to guess your mp3 encoder for CDex is...

if you want a cheap upgrade ($0), try checking out the kx-project 3rd party drivers for the audigy1/2 line. The swap front/rear option is funny (read the FAQ), but they did their homework on it and has solid reasoning behind it. If the drivers claims are half what they say, you'll breathe new...

I was borderline between the Audigy2 ZS and the Rveo myself. To make a long story short, I'm very happy with my Audigy. I really cannot give you too much advice. I (and eveyone else here) needs to know what you intend to use it for. I rather rock an SB16 before I install a SBLive! in my...

Now I'm not one to post on crowded threads (why repeat what someone has already said) and this might come a bit late, but being an a loyal foobar fan, I'd like to express my personal experiences. Foobar can be massive overkill for most people. Yes, it is hard to use it's cooler features but...

oh sweet, DUmeter looks great... thanks guys MRTG looks great too, but yea, masive overkill. I'll keep it saved for that rainy day when I decide to bull through a linux router project. Thanks again.

i'm a college student and the lovely dorms provide me with a very sweet internet conection. Howerver, its is a mixed blessing they've setup a 1.5GB bandwith limit. I've been looking (for quite some time now) a bandwith monitoring program. A quick search on google (a while ago) brought me to...
