    Windows 7 x64 audio stuttering

    I've been running Win7 x64 RC for about 6 weeks now. Everything has been pretty good except that I've had a problem with apps line media player, winamp and foobar 2000 having a sorty of static-like stuttering sound during audio playback whenever I do anything else at the same time that requires...

    Adapters for travel to China

    I'm going to be spending a few weeks in China next month. I've got several devices that I'm planning to take with me that require regular re-charging though. I've got a charger for my pocket camera, ipod charger, rechargeable battery station (mostly for my other camera), and nintendo DSi...

    Asus P6T Deluxe v2 with Windows 7

    Trying to figure out what drivers to get for the P6T. The disc that came with it just says that it doesn't support Win7. I figured the drivers on it probably aren't the most recent anyway, so I might as well find the right ones. I've got the system up and running with the Win7 x64 RC...

    Memory speed issues with Core i7 920?

    Was reading some reviews of RAM over at Newegg while trying to decide what to get for my new build. I'm planning to run 12GB on an Asus P6T Deluxe v2 board. I read that it probably won't work to try to run it at 1333 with 12GB. Or so said Corsair support apparently. So, I'm wondering if...

    External HD Enclosure Recommendations

    I need to find a good external enclosure for a backup drive. I'm going to use it with a WD Caviar Green 1TB drive, so I can probably get away with passive cooling if it's an all aluminum enclosure that makes good contact with the drive. I'll be transferring at least a few pretty large (20 to...

    Vista x64 RAID setup

    I'm planning to setup a new system for some software development work, and I am trying to plan some things out so that I don't paint myself into a corner. First of all, here's the core of what I'm planning to build: Core i7 920 Asus P6T Deluxe v2 12GB (6 x 2GB) Corsair XMS3 240-Pin DDR3...

    Antec 900 front audio ports not working

    Is there any way to test whether the front audio ports on my Antec 900 case are working? I suspect that the problem is with my motherboard, because I can't get a microphone to work with it. I've tried mic tests where you talk and hear it back through the speakers, but I just hear my voice for...

    upgrade to e8400 question

    I'm looking at upgrading from my E6300 to an E8400. I guess the first thing I should ask is whether this will be a problem with my motherboard? Also, will it require a reinstall of WinXP?

    Browsers unable to connect to sites after downloading

    I just did a fresh install of WinXP (with SP2 and hotfixes slipstreamed) and now I'm having a strange problem. It seems that I can connect to websites as usual until I start up bittorrent or Steam, or anything that takes up a lot of bandwidth. Once I do that, I can't connect to any websites...

    RAM Compatibility

    Just a quick question. I've been reading a lot about AM2 mbs, and plan to buy one pretty soon, but I'm wondering if I'll need to buy new ram at the same time or not. I currently have 1gb PC3200 in my box, and I know that the AM2 boards (I'm currently looking at the Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe) take...

    Need an upgrade

    Ok, here's my situation. I haven't upgraded in a while, but I managed to end up with a little cash, so I decided I'd better do it while I can. I've got about $700 to get as much as I can, with as good an upgrade path for the future as I can. It's been a while since I've researched hardware...

    Sound card question

    Can anyone give me a recommendation for an inexpensive sound card that has drivers that support Windows 2003 Server? I just need a simple sound card, nothing fancy. I thought Creative might support it, so I looked at the Audigy 2 SE, but they say the drivers don't support 2003 server. Anyone...

    bad memory?

    I've been having some really weird lockup problems since I installed my new motherboard, RAM, CPU, and power supply. At first it would just happen occaisionally, usually during a game. In the last couple days though, it has been locking up about every 5 minutes, literally. I first thought it...

    Asus A7N8X-E strangeness

    Here's my problem. Sometimes when I try to boot up, the system will power up and all the fans will be running, and the HDs will spin up, but it never goes through POST and the screen never comes on. If I turn it off for a bit, then turn it back on, sometimes it will start to work. It will say...

    Problem with vid card or motherboard

    I run Windows 2000 professional. I started getting IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL bluescreen errors about a month ago. Never could figure out why it kept crashing. But then 2 days ago, my PC started freezing up and taking about a minute to respond to each click. So I decided to reformat and reload...
