    DDR2-6400...

    So I recently picked up a e6600 to replace my aging A64 rig, and plan on jumping on the OCing bandwagon a bit again. I've heard great things about this memory - I plan on using it with a Gigabyte GA-965p DS3 rev 1.3 ($94 this weekend!) Thoughts...

    Vista, Chaintech VNF3-250, S/PDIF, C-Media

    So it's been a long time since my machine has had some spring cleaning, so I figured now was as good of a time as any to try out Vista. I was curious to know if Vista's native support for the C-Media onboard chipsets (CMI9761) included the use of the S/PDIF outputs like the one that comes on...
