Hi guys, heres a bunch of questions i have compiled for you guys. :)
1. SB Audigy: I bought an audigy x-gamer, love it, and want to buy another. I don't want to get a retail version, however, because I already got all the software. When I look up the oems i can only find "audigy 1394" or some variation. Is this the x-gamer or close enough? Or is it different?

2. I also am looking into some monsoon mm1000's and wondering about how you hook them up. With my old system I had to connect the satellites to the subwoofer and then hook something from the woofer to the pc. This was a pain because there was like 5 wires running down across my very "un-pc-comliant" desk. My question is that with the mm1000s and the audigy can i have only one wire running to the sub and hook the satellites right into the sound card?

3. Is there somewhere other than nvidia.com where I can get the det 4s because I am having problems downloading them there.

4. I have an 8k7a and was looking into getting some new bios. Does anyone have any suggestions for which ones are the best? Also how do you flash the bios? I have no idea. Can somone kindlly link me to a site about it or something like that.

5. I am looking into getting a kyro 2 from either inno3d or hercules. I went on inno3d.com and they don't even list it as a product there which is kinda scary. The hercules on the other hand promises frequent updates and stuff for its software. Is this worth the extra 15 bucks?

Thanks guys I hope you can help me out with some of this.

4) get the latest BIOS revision. flash procedure is different for different motherboard manufacturers (and different motherboards).

to flash the BIOS, simply look at EPOX's own guide found on their website (hint, do a little looking).

edit: ahh heck, here's the link to EPOX's BIOS page. be careful!
