Hello i would like some advice on a good router to buy. We currently have an unbranded ADSL router. We have basically given up trying to use the wireless because of the hassle it is trying to set it up, get a connection going, worrying about the unsecure line and constant connection dropping so...

Ive tried 7.1 Home Theater and 7.1 wide configuration but no change either.

Ah ok. My speakers in windows were set to "Quadraphonic" and now i have changed them to "5.1 surround sound speakers" although there is no change to the sound and my center speaker is still mute.

Ummm im not sure whether they are analog or digital. All i know about the speakers is that there is 5 speakers and a (very powerful!) subwoofer. The model of the speakers is: "Cambridge Desktop Theater 5.1" " DTT2200"

Hello i have an old Sounblaster Live! 5.1 soundcard. The issue i have is that it only seems to play 4 channels at one time when i it can play all the channels perfectly well when only any of 1, 2, 3 or 4 channels are connected to the subwoofer of my speakers but i can never get 5 at the same...

whoops double post

I am(6600), but i was just giving an example :) Thanks for your replies.

Well in a few days i will be investing in my first dual core processer. However what i would like to know is say you buy an X2 3800+ will there be two 3800+ cores or the equivilent of two 1900+ cores that are used together to make 3800? Sorry for the newbie question by the way :)

I am going to buy a whole new computer in a few days (Conroe 6600) but what i need to know is the difference between DDR and DDR2... and what the higher MHz means for performance. Can you tell me

Well i know you asked for AMD but i say get a Conroe EE6600 as it performs better than the FX-62 in 80% of things (espeically gaming) and it has a 4mb cache so it will be more future proof for less than half the price of an FX-62. If you cannot afford to spend that type of cash then i would get...

How good normally is onboard sound in general? I am upgrading my PC from top to bottom and I have planned to pay for an Audigy 4 in my budget but then i realised the motherboard i was getting ( http://www.asrock.com.tw/product/product_939Dual-SATA2.htm) already had onboard sound. Is there that...

Oh yeah whoops i missed that :o. Now im leaning towards the AMD option with the ASRock Dual motherboard. Conroe seems very good but not really worth it for what i wanna do so im just gonna go with AMD because its a good processer anyway and will be cheaper! Thanks to everyone for helping...

So the ASRock 939Dual SATA2 motherboard can run AM2 also?

Thats a pretty nice and cost effective upgrade. Not too keen on the whole overclocking thing some of those reviews mention though! Really dont know much about overclocking and probably wouldnt try too much in fear of breaking my system! I'd rather just play safe and get a more powerfull...

The motherboard doesn't bother me. I can always buy another one for pretty cheap. However the processer in comparison is a lot more expensive. You see whether i stay with AGP or wait and go to PCI-E will adversely affect what processer i buy. Conroe from what i have seen will not be designed for...
