    Nvidia: The Power of 3--August 11 release date

    Creative did, to keep the technology off the market. AFAIK, they have no intention of using any of Aureal's technology.

    Better sound on motherboards?

    Its the same chip on both, but the Montego is having an implementation issue whereby the sound lags. Turtle Beach is working on this issue. The X-Mystique doesnt have this problem.

    Better sound on motherboards?

    That chip is used as the core for this sound card http://www.bluegears.com/soundcard_xmystique.html Why cant a motherboard manufacturer incorporate it for onboard sound, and have a solution similar to the very cool Soundstorm solution?

    Better sound on motherboards?

    Unfortunately, Creative doesnt do Dolby Digital Live, so you wont get 5.1 channels for games. The CMI8768+ sound chip lets you play games in 5.1 channels, similar to Soundstorm.

    Better sound on motherboards?

    How difficult is it for motherboard manufacturer to use a better sound chip like the CMI8768+ to provide for Dolby Digital Live, instead of their current sound chips, which arent very good? Are any upcoming motherboards using this sound chip? And too bad Soundstorm died.

    got my a8n sli PREMIUM up and running...

    Too bad Asus did not use the C-Media CMI8768+ sound chip. That would give the board Dolby Digital Live - and be comparable to Intel's HD sound found on their newer chipsets.

    More than speed, IMHO the biggest factor for HTPC hard drives are silence - the last thing you want while watching TV is annoying hard drive sound coming from your HTPC.

    So essentially Toledo will be at the retailers before Venice - now that is funny!

    No sign of Venice? I just called Monarch and they don't have an ETA yet!

    The new A64 Rev-E info and release dates?????

    Bah! It looks like it has WORSE thermals than Winchester - how very disappointing! Hopefully it makes up for it by undervolting better.

    Using old hard drive with new comp?

    I have a similar question. I currently have an old PII (from 1998!) with two PATA hard drives - the original one withe Windows 98, and a data HD. Can I just plug the data HD into a new PC that has Windows XP on a SATA HD?

    What sound card can encode Dolby Digital 6.1 and DTS 6.1?

    Go HDA if you arent $ constrained. If you go NF2 you will be limited on your CPU selection (only Socket A, so no A64 for you), and no PCIe.

    laser printer causes lights to flicker

    It sounds like you have insufficient power (amperage) available for that circuit. Have an electrician check it out. An overloaded circuit can cause an electrical fire.
