    Enabling HyperTransport

    Recently by looking through various programs, such as 3dmark06, I noticed that when it says HyperTransport, it says it is not enabled, or it is N/A. Is there a certain way of enabling it?

    Sound Card Question

    What sound card would you recommend for gaming? I am mainly concerned with squezing out a few more FPS and making them more stable. My current onboard sound is very finicky and low quality. I am looking to stay around or under $100.
