I bought a PCE-AC68 for my comp which has the ASRock Z97 Extreme 4 (http://www.asrock.com/mb/photo/Z97%20Extreme4(L2).jpg). After installing the AC68 in the PCIE3 slot (please refer to the labels on the mobo picture), my GTX 780 Ti in the PCIE5 slot now only runs at x8 speed. Is there any way...

My computer desk is in the corner of my bedroom and the speakers would be placed at non-equal distances from me. This makes it so that the sound wouldn't be balance. I know I can adjust the volume of each individual speakers in windows so that the sound would appear to be equal distance from me...

What's a good dual monitor software?

Just built a new P5K premium system and everything works fine except for audio. Device manager for Vista x64 doesn't show any error. When I plug my speakers or headphones into the green jack on the back, Windows recognizes that I plugged my speakers into the onboard audio. When I try to play...
