Thanks for the responses. Well, I thought it did'nt matter what both of u were doing as I have read & been told that switch's divide up the speed pretty well & u would'nt notice any speed difference. Our ADSL is 512k (download) 128k (upload), even if it did divide it between us it still would...

I just went out & brought a NetGear 5-port switch (FS105) & now me & my brother have our PC's networked together & are sharing my ADSL modem connection. I have the Switch there with a RJ-45 cord going from each of our network cards into the Switch & also plugged my ADSL modem into the switch...

Ok....I have some questions on this sound card. 1. Does this card with the new driver release do true 5.1 sound with games, music, dvd's & everything or does it just do virtual 5.1? 2. I'm gathering that if you have 5.1 speakers you use the versajack to plug your sound source into (my decoder)...

I'm just building my first PC & have some questions about the mobo. It says for UltraDMA/66/100 requires a 40-pin 80 conductor cable to be enabled. Is this included & what does it mean by enabled? With the power connectors, do I connect all three of them? These ones: 20-pin block ATXPWR 6-pin...

Ok...I "should" be getting my Midiland 8200's tommorrow & at the moment I have both leads plugged into my sound card from my DVD drive. (I have a analog one going to cd-in & a digital one going to sp-dif). My questions are follows: Do I unplug the analog one & just use...

I'm not sure, but I THINK it's this way: via's Vid's dx8 :)

If I unplug one & leave one in, is that all I have to do? Do I have to change any settings in windows or BIOS or anything to make sure it knows to use that one? Also, if not, what about when putting it back in? Need to change any settings? Thanks.

When I play DVD's I don't get very good sound, when I play like movie trailers I get very good sound, but when I play DVD's I always have to turn the volume way up to get reasonable sound & the quality lacks too. Any idea why? See my system config below. One thing it might be: I have...
