I have never noticed any speed improvements with disabling any service in Vista 64. In fact, I feel it is just as snappy with 65 processes as with 35. The real issue is you pretty much need 4GB of ram. As for Aero, that relies on the video card, not system mempory. Superfetch is the...

Creative has nothing to compare to this card. This card is far superior in every way. It has superior drivers, superior parts and best of all it is not made by Creative!

It is far better looking in person if you ask me. The amount of internal room is also just hard to fathom until you see it up close and personal.

With your hardware it makes no sense to go 32-bit.

I agree.

The thing about pirating games like the ones mentioned is that they are also heavily played online. Being online requires a legal purchased game key. I think those numbers a re a crock of BS. The reason to me seems simple that more people now own consoles since the current crop of consoles is...

If he could afford all these trips to various places to get all these signatures then it is quite likely he could easily afford a new console. There is no way in hell I would have trusted ANY company with something like that with so much sentimental value. That is just not using your head...

Small update. Just finished playing DiRT which uses EAX. I notice a big difference in sound. I'll report back with any other findings.

I should have been more specific with my post, thanks for pointing that out. I figured it would be on a driver level. Thanks for the uupdate!

Nice. I had to pass on getting the E8400. I settled for a used E6600 that should be here soon. Looking forward to seeing what that thing does!

What you need to know is the maximum resolution your monitor can handle. If you list the model of your monitor, it would help alot. Ideally, you'd want to run 1280X1024 or higher. I would personally make room in the budget for a better monitor if yours is old because technology has come so...

64-Bit. I don't even want to ever get used to 32-bit since to me it makes no sense since the world needs to go straight 64 bit from Vista on out. I feel that Vista should not even have a 32 bit version.

I reinstalled Vista tonight myself. I had to pull 2GB of ram out to get past the BSOD's during install, but once the hotfix was installed, all has been well. I am going to keep my eye on this since I too am learning this darn OS slowly but surely.

ASUS just released a BETA driver with EAX 5.0 support! To make a long story short, I am building a new system for myself tonight and will be installing and testing this driver. All I can say is that I am so happy I bought this card.

Whether or not anyone agrees with us, I still feel very comfortable stating that this product's ability to keep that furnace of a Quad under 90C (mostly under 80C) is impressive. You could almost certainly mod it with a louder fan and get better results. The silence is the key thing that just...

Portal is a great game but it was far too short. I wish they would release an update or something. I'd gladly pay for a Portal 2.

Probably gave himself an ulcer by being so damn crabby. I agree with 63 being too young. I lost my dad when he was 50.

Not to kick a guy when he is down, but that show made him look like a major jerk. It is somewhat surprising, but he sure didn't seem like much of a nice guy to the people that slaved for him, that's for sure.

It really is a very good case. If you have the room for it, you'll love it. I think what makes it beat the 900 is the wire management and the top ventilation. This case is probably going to "force" me to build a water loop just because I always wanted to build a full internal loop for a Quad...

It makes no sense for 90% of us to buy a Quad core. All a Quad core offers most enthusiasts is higher benchmark scores. So little software even takes full advantage of dual cores that Quads are silly. I have had a few Quad core PC's and can hardly notice the difference.
