    Recording Audio via 2 sound cards?

    Ok so what I want to do is simple and the idea seems easy enough to me. I have my SB Audigy and also my on-board sound. I know both are working because I use the Audigy for gaming and the onboard for watching and recording TV. Is there a way to go to a website - and have it play the music...

    Dell Inspiron 1100 Hard Drive Replacement ...

    A friend's hard drive died and she needs to get a new one to replace it. I'm curious as to if any 2.5" drive will work properly. A few pictures in the descriptions (although I know they can vary from the actual thing) look as if the connector is different. Basically, my question is whether...

    Going Shuttle a Good Idea?

    Currently I have an Asus P4C800-E Deluxe with a P4 3.2 Prescott, and I'm thinking of ditching that for a Shuttle w/ AMD A64 3200+ . I am on the go a decent amount and always in tight fitting places (dorm rooms / bed rooms) so I think it would be a good idea. Can anyone recommend a good...

    External Enclosure Question

    I've been browsing for an external HD enclosure that I would be able to use to backup systems when I fix them. This seems like my number one choice right now, but I'm trying to decide between the standard USB2.0 one or the combo USB2.0/FireWire. All of the sites seem to say that the transfer...

    My friend just bought a new mobo and P4 Socket 775 chip and he's in the middle of mounting everything in his case. Thermal paste didn't come with the processor, but there is a thermal pad on the heatsink. Does he need to use paste or is the pad enough? Thanks for the help, any suggestions...

    Kingston HyperX 3200 running at 200mhz?

    I just received my two Kingston 512 HyperX chips today. I'm still waiting for my new processor but I figured I'd throw them in to make sure they are working ok. When I run CPU-Z it says the memory speed is running at 200mhz rather than 400mhz. Is this simply because my CPU can't handle it...

    RAM question ... mixing 266 w/ 400 (4 chips)

    I already have 2x256 of 266 in my p4c800-e dlx from some older RAM i had lying around. I want to upgrade to 2x512 of 400. Would i be able to run all 4 chips for 1.5 gb of ram total, or would the 400 slow down to 266. Also, would it then be better to simply run the 2x512 chips. My current cpu...
