    Two sound cards in one machine?

    I have a PC that is loosely performing HTPC duties. It has a sound card in it already, and it's output is connected to my home theater system. I also have some applications that provide text to speach output. I'd like that output to be present even when the a/v system isn't on. But I don't...

    Powerstrip checksum error

    I've recently installed an 8500, and I have downloaded & installled powerstrip 3.02 to tinker with overclocking. When Powerstip finishes installing, it automatically runs, and everything works OK. But the next time I boot my computer, powerstrip won't run, I get a Powerstrip error that says...

    Can't get drives to power down in Win2k

    Sorry for the cross-post, not sure if this belongs here or in the OS forum. This is a fresh install of Win2k, so there aren't many things installed on it.

    Filling all three DIMMs slows down mem performance?

    I've read in the past (can't find it right now) that going from memory in two dimms to three causes increased latency, and therefore slower memory performance. I have a Abit BE6-II BX MB, and have two 128M modules, one in slot 1, and one in slot 2. With the memory prices so low now, I'm...

    Any contacts @ CTX? Please help!

    I recently had a 6 month old PR960F 19" FD Trinitron monitor blow. I returned it to them (almost $40 out of my pocket to ship), and it took 6 weeks before I got it back. Now that I have it back, it is in ever way in MUCH worse shape than it was before (except for the fact that it will...
