    Sound Recorder App

    Hi guys, I remember some months ago stumbling across a program which recorded every sound coming through your sound card, and then could save as mp3. I assume there are many programs which perform this function, but what are some of the best? thanks Jim

    RAM Help

    Alright . . . well apparently I don't need the heatspreaders . . . and the Mushkin is the only one that hasn't been given ripped on by one of you guys :) - not to mention it's a solid brand with the best timings, as Arcane Death points out - AND the price dropped a whopping 5 bucks . . . 132 to...

    right, so I don't know much about latency, but it seems that the Kingmax has the lowest? Am I reading that right off of new egg? Thanks Jim

    RAM Help

    Okay, so I just got 3 suggestions for 2x512, all within $20 of each other. Why should I get one as opposed to the others? Is the mushkin "value" too? And if it is, is it still better than the Kingmax? Which is the best of these three? Jim

    Hard Drive Type?

    Hey guys, I'm looking into getting one of these: http://global.shuttle.com/Product/barebone/brb_OverView.asp?B_id=29 And have an IDE hard drive now. I can't really tell if that is going to work with the barebone or not. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks Jim

    RAM Help

    I looked around on newegg, and that was actually the exact ram I have been thinking about. I was just going on the fact that mushkin is a good name though, because I don't know much else. Any other suggestions?

    Processor Help

    Is the 2.4C enough clock speed? Is it better to have a lower clock speed to keep heat down?

    Pearl White CD Drive?

    So I'm looking into using a shuttle barebone with pearl white finish to build a cheap new PC, but didn't want to just throw in any old cd drive that could look hideous with the nice pearl white. Does anyone know of any pearl white CD, DVD, CD-RW, etc drives out there? The color is roughly...

    Speaker "Cracks"

    Bingo, I think it's fixed. I have reformatted twice in the last few months. The first time I installed the new Audigy2 drivers. This time I forgot to (used ones about a year old). Now it works MUCH better, with almost no popping or cracking. (Although I haven't listened to a ton of music yet.)...
