    USB 2.0 Not Being Recognized?

    So I tried plugging my iPod Shuffle into one of the front ports of my new computer. I got this little bubble message telling me that the device will perform better in a USB 2.0 slot. I just double checked bot MSI and Antec's sites and both indicate that my motherboard (MSI Neo4 Platinum) and...

    For a Pimarily HTPC with some Gaming

    One of the things I would like to accomplish is transfering VHS to DVD. However, I have done a lot more research on the NVIDIA 6xxx chipsets and about zilch on the x600xt. I know that the 6600 (vanilla) will do what I want (good solid VGA with OK to decent gaming), but I don't know about the...

    MSI NX6600-VTD128E

    Is anyone using this card? I was looking to buy the vanilla 6600 version, but I see this has some slightly better numbers, and most importantly VIVO ability. I am not really looking to play a lot of games, but I'm sure this card would be fine for occasional games. If anyone has it, I'd like...
