    Having problem with my PC speakers.

    Hello all. I have a set of old Logitech Z680 5.1 PC speakers with a minor problem. I have tried this with two different computers and sound cards: Audigy 2 and X-FI Extreme Gamer. When I use Creative's diagnostics I only get sound through 2 speakers. But when I play a movie, game, or TV the...

    Is two gx2's still a waste?

    Can somebody supply a reputable website link to a recent review of two GX2's in SLI. All the reviews I have read are somewhat old. I am assuming newer drivers have been released since these reviews. Anandtech here is one of those old reviews. Or, better yet, does somebody have a personal...

    Are You an Early Adopter?

    I thought this story was quite humorous as it probably relates to a lot of people here. http://consumerist.com/tag/ear...adopters-are-jackasses

    Does Newegg ever give out tracking numbers?

    No doubt about that. But the reason I posted in the first place is because, as stated, I never got a tracking number the first time I ordered from NewEgg.

    Does Newegg ever give out tracking numbers?

    Well, I believe I spoke too soon. NewEgg sent me an email with the tracking numbers this morning at 3:00 AM. Appreciate all the responses.

    Does Newegg ever give out tracking numbers?

    Does Newegg ever give out tracking numbers? I have ordered a second time from them. And each time they say I will get a tracking number but it never happens.

    I have had so much fun reading the posts here. I have a better understanding of computers since I recently started surfing the web. Are there similar, high quality sites out there.

    9800 GX2 in SLI. Is it worth it now?

    9800 GX2 in SLI. Is it worth it now?

    I can buy a 9800GX2 for $449.00 after a rebate. Would this make it cost effective to buy 2 cards for SLI? Does SLI with this card work at all? Would SLI for this card make a difference with a 24" LCD monitor? Thank you.

    Just what exactly is a driver-for computer hardware?

    Just what exactly is a driver? I understand you can have the best made hardware, but how well it operates depends on its driver.

    Does anybody know if the day the new cards come on the market, that reviews will start showing up on websites like this. I need parts right away, but I want to hold off for any reviews.

    Dual Boot Home XP and Vista 64

    I am going to build a new machine pretty soon and I would like to install a dual boot system with XP and Vista 64. I know to install XP first then Vista. Does a dual boot system degrade either OS? Would both OS's "act" the same?

    How do touch sensitive switches work.

    I asked this question in the cases forum, but did not get an answer. If this not the appropriate place for this question, please forgive. The new Cooler Master Cosmos RC1100 computer case has a new power button that is touch sensitive, there is no button to press in. Anybody know how this works...

    Please help me in building my first machine.

    Oh, yes the speakers. I have been given an old set of Logitech 5.1 speakers which are quite good. Looks like the smarter thing to do is wait for the next set of video cards to come out which is not too far away. I now understand with my monitor sli won't do much good. So one card for me. Sorry...

    Please help me in building my first machine.

    Thanks for responding, but I don't understand your statement. Common sense (which apparently does not apply to computers) tells me that newer memory technology is better or faster than old (DDR2). Also would not games run or look better no matter what monitor you use in SLI? Anybody have a...
