    car audio ?

    Pretty sure there is a car audio section in the subscription side of the forum. Is this a new install? Verify your ground is still good first off and then the remote lead and the other connections.

    winamp, foobar, WMP. What do you use to listen to music

    I went from itunes 6 to Winamp 5 since itunes was running slow for me with version 6 and wouldn't import certain files for me. Foobar plays all the mjaor ones, ogg, flac, mp3, and so on right? I like the way foobar looks i might check it out if it has the watch folder feature that winamp...

    Audio system advice.

    So the deal is, i have promedia ultra 5.1's but i don't need 5.1 and my room is small, plus i think they sound pretty average. I'd like something a tad nicer, in a 2.0 maybe 2.1 later setup. My budget is around 500ish and I will be using this with my Xbox360 and my computer for music almost...

    So I won a PhysX Card.....

    Do you have a dog? If so maybe it could chew on it and then you could pee on it and light it on fire? Real answer: Get the Core, they are looking good on all the benchmarks

    So you have $300.00 TODAY, what do you do to enhance gaming?

    fixed^ anyways, the percentage claim is not invalid, if a multiple choice poll made it invalid then how can you pick 2 people in a category when you vote.

    So you have $300.00 TODAY, what do you do to enhance gaming?

    B) the MSRP is 299.99, It's 260 at most retailers now, newegg has a special not a permanent price drop so don't say it. C) you can't vote more than once. D) you point the finger at everyone so i'd say turnabout is fairplay for him.

    How many gamers would it take to "force" adoption of the PPU?

    rargh, you disagree??, VIRAL MARKETINGS!!!1! All jokes aside, the poll isn't a good representation since the sample size isn't large enough.

    How many gamers would it take to "force" adoption of the PPU?

    About 4-5 of those games actually listed next to developers are out and only one of them was good (rise of legends). That list actually makes me want to buy a ppu less since nothing i want is on it. when that changes i'll sure as heck be ordering one. i believe that a majority of gamers are...

    Anyone have the ETA for PCIE cards yet?

    I know you can but pci-e tv tuners(had to go usb 2 since i have one usable pci slot) when i looked in march were not plentiful and there weren't any sub 200 sound cards for pci-e. I'm just saying slowly they should stop producing pci stuff. SO if they only made new tech in pci-e (like you...

    Anyone have the ETA for PCIE cards yet?

    I agree with you but you missed my point. I meant that sound cars, tv tuners, ppu, etc should be pci-e so when people are buying new motherboards they can just have all pci-e slots and all the cards can be pci-e. NO pci whatsoever. I never meant trash your brand new x-fi, but i'm saying all pci...

    Havok vs Ageia - Factual Differences

    I think you fail to see that Valve/steam is not the end all of what gamers are playing and how many people actually do that survey, i sure didn't. Anyways i don't see how the ppu has a bigger market share like you originally implied. But don't take it personally, it wasn't meant to be so calm...

    Anyone have the ETA for PCIE cards yet?

    I don't honestly believe there is a huge point in moving to the pci-e bus. That said i believe they should switch just like soundcards should then we can have all pci-e in all it's various sizes and configurations.

    Fixed Anyways i personally don't care who wins.When a game, that I actually am interested in, comes out that uses physics (not l337 sp34k physX) ,in a way beneficial to gameplay, I will sure as heck buy whatever one is the winner. Aegia vs Havok (competition is good for the industry isnt...

    Will a Wireless Router pick up DSL 0.4 miles away? I need SOMEONES help

    IF you do this, the router will need to be able to swap antennas out, then you can get a more directional higher gain antenna maybe a yagi. Run a wifi access point in your house with the same antenna pointed towards each other and run a switch off the AP. Easiest solution, just like 2 guys...

    PSTwo (slim) mod chips?

    Lord is 100% right, thats the same kit i'm ordering for my slim ps2. To be honest i don't even think they make a "regular" mod chip for them, but why bother when you can use the swap magic and not void the warranty.

    Quality sound

    Basically it's like they took a speaker system and put an ipod dock on it so that if you wanted to not turn on your computer and throw the ipod in the dock you can play music. so it has the standard mini stereo jack input but also ipod dock. THX certification for computer speakers is almost...

    Should I upgrade or wait...

    Wait until the M2 socket from amd hits in the 2nd half of 06. If you upgraded now it'd be like going back in time and grabbing a socket 940 athlon fx, sure it's quick but you're dead in the water as far as cpu upgrades go. But if you have cash to blow, go for it and then upgrade again later this...

    Audio Advice (speakers receivers)

    well depends on price range, but generally i avoid yamaha and klh. i like onkyo, hk, sony, denon. price wise sony str-de598 is like 199.99 6 channel 90watts full bandwidth per channel. since those infinity's only do 100w max. 90w is going to be perfect. As for 2.1, it's a great start...

    I ran all my stuff 100% to the reciever except mic of course, headphones and all. The infinity's i linked to didn't have a sub but that same page ahs a package for like 580 with a ps8. As for weak yea, i suppose, but it's more about matching the capabilities, you don't want a 12 with smallish...

    audigy 4 vs audigy 4 OEM

    I never cared much for retail since oem was always good enough, not on procs, mobos, vid cards or ram tho, i like the warranty. but sound cards go for it, the x-fi xtreme music is a sure bet tho, cheap good features and sq. Edit: 66 bucks is a sweet deal i paid 110 for mine

    Audio Advice (speakers receivers)

    Well the gist of DDL is it's all in software by the drivers. It's the easy and least lossy way of getting true 5.1 to your reciever in any game. Since it's software as long as the game does 5.1 it will work. I ran a Sony str-de597 as my reciever coupled with a pair of infinity primus 250...

    audigy 4 vs audigy 4 OEM

    OEM = white box, drivers cd, card. Retail = fancy box(ohhh shiny) drivers cd, ads, manual, card, cd audio cable and warranty. But at this point the X-FI xtreme music is a better choice as the audigy 4 offers no new features over an audigy 2 zs it merely provides a slighty better quality due to...

    Post your HeadPhones!

    I dunno about better sound, depends what you're going for. I like my external sound card with optical to reciever and 2 infinity primus 250 towers better than headphones. I have Sony MDR V600's if i feel the need tho.
