I have not bought a CD in over 10 years, nor have I ever purchased an MP3. I've never used iTunes. I'm getting fat and I need to excercise so I'm buying an mp3 player to motivate myself to do something...anything. I am not buying an ipod, I was thinking of an Sandisk Sansa. What are some good...

Cool adaptor, but those look like the same plugs on the faceplate. From what I've read from the same people taken by this as I have been, its a limitation in the hardware decoding, that 2.1 is it for digital, unless I use the Bypass and/or go into a reciever. But IIRC, going into a reciever...

Good tip! I actually had to do that to use my mic on my headset, since I was having a problem with teamspeak using the external box: I had to run a line to the back. But my intentions were all for naught, since I found out the hard way that the X-fi does not support digital speakers over 2.1...

Thanks for the replies. I found the kits to add at least a internal I/O ( the external addon is way too much money), and from doing the math, its cheaper to buy the card, and internal I/O kit seperatly then it is to buy the platinium :eek: . Link...

I have a cool idea I think, but I'm not sure if it will work or not. I presently using an Audigy Platinum EX, which is basically a card, with cables running to another PCB which then run to the external box (remote, inputs, headphones...). My question is, can I take a newer Xifi card, and...

Sorry in my delay in responding. Thank you for that bit of info.

Quick question for you gurus :) I'm building a new system, but I'm not ready (can't afford) a new monitor yet. Looking at most cards above mid level, preferably Nvidia, all I seem to find is dual DVI cards. That in itself is fine since I want to get an LCD anyway. But I'm still running a...

Well, that seems to be a complaint for a few FIOS users: http://www.google.com/search?q=fios+blocked+port+80&hl=en&lr=&start=0&sa=N I'm still stuck with cable, so I can't answer first hand.

I'm making the move over to Conroe, in fact I'm lurking these forums looking for a decent motherboard when I noticed your post. You're in the same delimma I am, since I am also running a AGP card and looking to upgrade. I'll share my thoughts: Yes on conroe, I'm looking at the 6600...

I've always wanted a website on my home network so that I could store files and what not on it since I always seem to go somewhere and never have the right file for the job. I tinkered with IIS, but I couldn't sleep at night knowing that there were 50 million people trying to sabatoge that. I...

Have you tried makecab.exe from within the system32 folder?

Yeah... that download manager, that came from the MS site when I was trying to grab the Vista beta. That's gone now. I didn't want to install the darn thing, but Opera kept erroring out on my transfers, and MS has a fit if you visit certain MSDN sites without using IE.... The MSO poppped in...

I made a stupid mistake, I mistyped elderscrolls and went to a "bad" page instead of going to the official site. Ewido picked up nothing, Kaspersky IS picked up nothing, but I have a hyjackthis log entry: O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [GrpConv] grpconv.exe -o I'm running XP and this was not there...

Cool, thank you. I used to use netstat all the time to check for trojans, now I'm pretty much converted to the network monitor within Kaspersky IS 6.0. They really made some nice updates!! It will tell you what process is using what open port; one of the things I could never strangle out of...
