    USB Soundcard and Speaker combo....such a thing made?

    Microsoft used to have a set of speakers out that were really good called the DS-80. They could function purely off USB using a soundcard built into the subwoofer; Hard to find any now.

    I just wanted to say I got a 1.6A from newegg last week same batch running on a MSI 845 Ultra ARU with 512 MB PC2700 Samsung Memory. It does 2.4 ghz without touching a thing, but the bus speed.
