    X-Fi sound card worth it?

    I'm glad that I didn't stuff my Audigy 2ZS to my new Win7 64bit PC... Creative used to be the ONLY dominating sound card maker (Goes all the way back to Sound Blaster 16-bit, remember?) but now you have so many options to choose from. Man those were the days... SB AWE64 that was the...

    Upgrade Q6600 to i7 920: worthwhile??

    I jumped from E6600 o/c 3.2 to i7 920... I haven't even o/c yet but I can already feel the difference. Jumped from XP to Win7 64bit as well. Wow what a difference. I have a photography business and do a lot of RAW image conversions (8000+ 10Mb RAWs on fashion week), and my old computer was...

    Audigy2ZS vs onboard HDAudio (ADI AD2000B)?

    I've recently upgraded my E6600 machine to a i7 920. I'm left with a Audigy 2 ZS card that I'm unsure of what to do with. Since it's a PCI card I can't put it to the bottom of the mobo/case to allow better airflow to my 5850. Is the ADI AD2000B better than Audigy 2 ZS? I've heard that the new...

    Fan controller choices

    What about the Zalman ZM-MFC3? Tho it only has 4 fans/temp controls. I have the MFC2 and it works great. http://www.zalman.co.kr/ENG/product/Product_Read.asp?idx=341

    Thermalright Venomus X with "Pressure Vault Bracket"

    Goddamnit I just ordered my U-120E last week... Nice mounting bracket but I almost never ever remove the damn thing after it's mounted anyhow.

    Scythe Setsugen GPU air cooler

    Did anyone check out the review on this? The arguments that it does not blow air outside of the case & doesn't cool the PWM are valid. Add the cost factor as well it might not be all that feasible... Oh well... let me pickup a 5850 first to see how loud the stock fan is first before I...

    Is it ok to ghost from a HDD to SSD?

    Can you please provide us with more info on how this is done? Maybe doing a fresh win7 install is more worthwhile than going through all this.

    Is it ok to ghost from a HDD to SSD?

    Hey guys, Is it safe to run Ghost on my 320Gb HD to the Intel 160Gb SSD? Obviously used disk space is nowhere near 160Gb. Thanks.

    Win7: Upgrade from HD to Intel SSD

    I just got a new Gateway EC1430u laptop with Win7 Home Premium 64bit and it has a 320Gb HD. If I buy an Intel 160Gb SSD with TRIM support, do I just clone the drive and Win7 will automatically configure everything for SSD?

    XP - upgrading mobo/cpu/ram only ...

    I'm still running XP on my desktop, if I upgrade from E6600 to 920/Asus P6T/6Gb ram do I have to do anything to XP at all? Do I have to run sysprep??? I'm thinking about uninstalling video card driver just incase. Please advice guys. Thanks.
