    Buying an X-Fi soundcard - Platinum or Fatal1ty?

    He's talking about the Platinum, not the Elite Pro. Yes the only difference is the X-Ram and the fact that the lights on the Fatality version of the internal drive is red instead of blue.

    YAW(aitress)T: Waitress being too kind?

    What's the worst that can happen? She says no, but I doubt she will. She's dropping those friendly hints because she's interested.

    Speakers help Klipsch 5.1 Ultra

    Sounds like it came unplugged from the soundcard. Or make sure the Control pod is plugged all the way in.

    How unethical is it to...

    I've decided to come clean with her. But, I will do that during our financial counseling. My reasons for keeping the money away from her knowledge was for the best intentions. After I thought about it, I don't think she'll be too mad about it, but there will be some grief. Nothing that would...

    How do i install programs on xp pro w/o an administrator password?

    Search for EBCD. It's a unix based utility that you boot from a CD. It allows you to change the admin password. Works like a charm for me.

    How unethical is it to...

    She used to handle the bills and I thought nothing of them until I noticed that she was paying some bills with credit cards. That was the red flag that I needed to handle it. It was at that point that I realized the extent that it was affecting our cash flow. We've talked about the...

    How unethical is it to...

    I've been married for 9 years next month. During the last year, I didn't tell my wife that I got a raise. Reason being is that she likes to spend money. We have been struggling to keep ahead of bills, but she doesn't seem to understand that. She goes to the thrift store at least twice a week and...

    Dell 2405FPW + AIW X800XL AGP

    Thanks for the response. I suppose if it doesn't run the way I like, $400+ is not too hard to come up with. I'd figure a 7800GT should fit the bill nicely. Can't see paying for a 7800GTX to be CPU limited or close to it.

    Dell 2405FPW + AIW X800XL AGP

    AIW X800XLs are actually underclocked X800XT chips. At least it was when I bought it. The AIW X800XL PCI-E is an X800XL chip, but as far as I know, the OEM BBA AGP versions were all X800XTs in sheep clothing.

    Dell 2405FPW + AIW X800XL AGP

    System specs in sig. Kinda worried about playability with that combo. I do have the Video card OC'd to X800XT speeds without issue, but not sure if I need to run out and spend $400+ to get a new mobo/video (7800 GT) card now. I do game so I want to be able to play at good speeds with decent IQ.

    [POLL] - Do you have a DVD Burner?

    Yup have 2 of them. One's a Plextor PX-716A and the other is a Memorex F-16. My old Pioneer slot load DVD drive bit the big one and decided to get another DVD burner to replace it. With the drives being so cheap, just made sense.
