The biggest thing is that alot of onboard sound is most of them dont have dedicated DSP's. Meaning that what the sound processor cant figure out on its own, has to be picked up by the CPU. WHich uses clock cycles, which of course slows down the processing speed of the game your playing. Where...

Im currently useing the nF2 SoundStorm. Its suited me well over the years. It certaintly is a nice feature to jsut plug it straight into my reciever witht eh S/PDIF and use the Dolby Digital Live option. Makes it very easy set up for watching movies or other content on my TV. Though i will...

Plantronics makes a basic gaming headset that can be picked up for around $25 on-line. Ill tryt og et the actual model number, but they are the low end of the stick for their line. But still use the same drivers as most of their other headsets, just without the extra fluff features. Ive been...

DO you have Windows Internet connection shring properly setup? I know its a silly question, but still. Also, you may not need to use a X-over cable. ALot of modern NIC's are auto sensing, and will configure the pinouts accordingly at the cards end.

THe original Red Orchestra mod for UT2004...and likewise the Red Orchestra: Ostfront game avliable from Steam. If youve got a Steam account, i highly recemend it.

Wow, some of the replys in this thread boggle my mind. Heres my thoughts, and im sure there will be plenty of backlash from them...but thats kinda the idea anyway. ;) So, does the world ned a PPU? If this where 1999, the answer would be a resounding YES. But becuase this is 2006, the...

Fantastic, im glad that solved your issues with the sound. Can we assume that you will be updating the review with these new changes? Also, did you run though a speaker setup on your soundcard to see if the channels where all properly assigned?

Couple of things. The design of the "holes" in the headseat are part of its audio design. There are two basic types of headphone...circumaural and supra-aural. Check out this page, for a full run down of the two different types of designs. http://richardbrice.net/headphones.htm...

ATi should drop out of the chipset market all together. Buy some licencing rights from nVidia for the nF4 SLi chipset. And go that route. Im sure nVidia would welcome the competition. Or Intel needs to get off their duff and get somthing going in teh SLi front. EIther way ATi's chipsets...

Ive read a couple of little blurbs that MS plans to release a USB dongle that will be compatible with the wireless controlers. But theres no idea when that will happen. And its somwhat unlikely that a thrid party will release a USB dongled version either. COnsidering that if they made a...

Just so you guys have a heads up. Im in the interviewing process of a job at the moment that requires certification. They asked about A+, if i had one...and when i said "no" their comment was "Oh, thats fine, the A+ really isnt that critical anymore anyway, anyone with moderate experience can...

Sorry ive been away fromt eh puter for a while. Im not saying there are actual game demos there. They just seem to take alot of cues fromt eh hardware and game devleopers out there be incorperating new shader model techniques into the tests, most of which are then later touted by a particular...

Ahhh, im sorry, i was under the impression that the Athlon 64 was a dual-core too. However, my stance on 3DMark still stands.

Im guessing that Intel spent a crap ton of money to get 3dM06 optimized for their CPU, to use it as heavy marketing to attempt to pull themselves up from the hammer fisted beating from AMD this year. Strange, the Intel get better 3dMarks...yet any game ou there on teh market runs faster on...

I would kind of lean twords motherboard too. But honestly, it wouldent hurt to try a new PSU in there as well. The problems you described could be caused by one or the other. Take your pick on what you want to try first. And expect on replacing both. In all honesty, if you can afford to...

Also, there is a new version of the driver out at redcl0uds. Helps fix some bugs with the input layout. Works very nice now.

Havent tried it. Cant say i ever will. PC first person shooters are meant to be played with a mouse and keyboard. Trying to play with a controler will jsut be an exercise in frustration. I dont think that COD2 has any special PC functionality for the 360 controler. Im sure it would work jsut...

Aparently MS is planning on releaseing a USB dongle for the wireless controlers at a later date. Somthing to do with a limited supply of wireless controllers dude to their popularity on the 360. So one demand forthe wireless controlers settles down on the console. They will release a "PC...

<----------- E.M.I. WTF does that mean?

Ok, well, through tinkering with the calibration, i was able to get full axis on the triggers. HOWEVER...the right trigger works great. The left trigger is reversed. So its full when released, and reads 0 when depressed. Works ok for some games that recognize it, works backwards for...
