    Fudzilla: Bulldozer performance figures are in

    You are absolutely correct. I guess this is an enthusiast forum, so only the high-end stuff will be given the thumbs up, but this is a timely reminder that it's all relative. I just upgraded my PC to the following: - Antec 300 case - Antec Neo Eco 450W power supply - Asus M4A87TD/USB3...

    6800 or 7600 for AGP?

    I used to have a 6800 vanilla, and the 7600GT I have now is a fair bit quicker.

    Need feedback on headphones

    Not sure what games you play, but GT Legends / GTR etc are incredible on the audio setup in my sig. America's Army works well too, nice enemy placement.

    New speaker recommendations

    I'd definitely go for a nice stereo receiver / integrated amp and bookshelves. I really enjoyed that setup with my 120 wpc Harman Kardon HK-3480 receiver. Had a 10 inch home theater sub hooked up to the sub out as well, and it absolutely caned any computer speakers I've ever heard. For the best...

    Creative's Famous Obese Bloatware for Soundcards

    No idea what people are talking about with Creative's bloatware drivers. I've used an SB Live for years, and now have an Audigy 2. I downloaded the drivers for both and all I get's a very minimalistic control panel. Never used the original CDs though, so perhaps that's what I'm missing (if you...

    I got a 8800GTS.....

    GT Legends. You'll want a wheel though. Actually this'll run very nicely on a lot less video card than you've got, but it's such a sweet game I had to throw it in!

    S-Video output is B&W ?

    Check the video input settings on the TV, and make sure they're not set to Composite. If they are, all you will see from an S-video connection is black and white.

    Vista Blows

    Hmmm, let's see. In your words, 'Vista blows'. I'm assuming then, that for you, XP did not blow. To me, it would seem strange to subject yourself to the worst of two products for your uses. So, yes, use XP until, for you, Vista doesn't blow.

    Linux SUCKS and should never be used by human beings.

    I saw that error once. Just had to set up my video device properly in Mplayer.

    What was the most expensive computer you or your family ever purchased?

    The first Pentium II IBM Aptiva for a cool $5000.

    Why Vista?

    Won't run Vista for a year or two, when I do a full rebuild.

    Why consoles do not allow mouse + keyboard

    My Dreamcast had a mouse and k/b. I loved caning my friends in Quake 3 who had to make do with controllers hahahahahaha! Oh and Soldier of Fortune was cool ...

    For all you ps3 haters

    Here's another take on this. There is no GT on PC. If you want GT, you have to buy a PS3. It's irrelevant whether it looks better / worse than some PC FPS game. Of course your topic isn't really about this ... but just my 2 cents.
