    New computer built, 2.1 speakers dont work, headset does.

    you guys were right, i can only use the front and not the rear. kinda annoying that I only have that option, was hoping i could had the speakers plugged in and if i wanted to use headphones i could just plug those in and the speakers would shut off.

    Vista Ultimate 64, how stable is it and is it worth getting?

    I decided against the server and stick to Vista. However, im wondering if i should go with 32 or 64. Iv read on some review sites that even with4g of ram you should just use 32 because it still seems to be overall faster for gaming and certain other things. What do you guys think?
