    Soundblaster Live Drive Help

    Hi, My Soundblaster Platinum 5.1 with Live Drive card died. I believe the Live Drive is still good. The model number on the card is SB0060. I am searching for another. My question is, can I use any other Sound Blaster cards to hook up the Live Drive ? Or do I have to use the exact same...

    *** Official ASUS P5B / P5B Deluxe Thread ***

    Just finished building my new system. I have only built about 5 so far - all with Asus boards. I would place my pc knowledge in the 'beginner' category. I never had any problems with my Asus boards, but after reading the P5B Deluxe boards, I must say I was a bit worried right before I first...

    ASUS P5P800

    Quick question, I want to have 4 hard drives and 1 optical drive. I do not want to use an internal IDE card, so I think I can use 4 pata and 1 SATA with this mobo. What do you think would be better, getting the Sata optical drive, or the sata hard drive ?

    ASUS P5P800

    Well, I had some time to work with my new setup. I installed the SoundBlaster Live card. I tried NOS, and it seems to help out although I am not too demanding of my pc. The Q Fan works, but I noticed the cpu ran a tiny bit hotter, so I dont use Q Fan. Most of the noise I was hearing was the...

    ASUS P5P800

    I got the Stereo mini plug to RCA converter jack, but I can not get the S/PDIF output to work. I get no sound when I connect my speakers or my headphones. When I do hook something into the S/PDIF out, the little configurator doesn't even pop up. I just upgraded my sound drivers from Asus...

    ASUS P5P800

    Ya, I am reading the manual but I'm still not to sure, I just got to experiment. I am using the green audio out for my speakers. That leaves the only other audio out being the yellow RCA. I may run to radio shack today to get a stereo mini plug-to-RCA converter. I will test out that NOS, why...

    ASUS P5P800

    I have not checked out NOS, in fact I don't know anything about it. But maybe I will. I may need it for Battlefield 1942 :P Do you have headphones hooked up to your P5P800 ? If so, what color connector did you hook it up to ? I'm guessing the yellow RCA line in would be the one to use. But...

    ASUS P5P800

    No, I have not tried to OC. I didnt see much of a performance boost going from a 2.4ghz to a 3.0ghz, so I dont want to risk damage to go from 3.0ghz to 3.4ghz. What exactly is the gain supposed to be with hyperthreading ? More programs running at the same time ? I disconnected the chasis...

    ASUS P5P800

    Lo Folks, I just got my new pc up and running. This is only about the 10th pc I ever put together, and although it was easy, I still ended up cursing Micro$. Someone just has to come up with a better OS. I feel my hardware loose power once I install that piece of s-oftware. Anywho, the...
