    On board versus sound cards

    Sorry to revive such an old topic, but hte latest AL888DD onboard sound is AMAZING to say the least. I just removed my Audigy 2 ZS as it does not even sound as good as this onboard. Also, it can deliver real Dolby Digital Live AND DTS through the S/Pdif. Playing music and games and what not...

    Dell to finally use AMD

    I just helped my mother spec out a Dell AMD 3800+ X2 AM2 desktop and the total was $850 shipped for a machine I could not have built for $1000, never mind the shipping. It even came with a 17" LCD. Considering the next system down was a Celeron 325 for $750 shipped, it was a major jump up in...

    Anybody going Dual Core?

    My Opteron 165 crushes all my old single core scores. I have scored over 119K on Aquamark3 with that CPU and 2 X 6800GS's. 2.8GHz @ 1.35V for me and I will be pushing it harder. I do have a good water cooling setup so I am sure that helps, but in general the Opterons just seem to OC much easier.

    That cube case is to die for! I wish I could get one in Canada.

    Revolution Dev Kit - The Return of the Garage Gamers

    My first PC was a Commodore 64 and I was a God to have it. I had the tape drive. Nothing like waiting 25 minutes for a game to load. Ahhh...

    Monster Rig.

    I love that case. I wish they were available in Canada. I am thinking of attempting to build my own. Very nice.

    Hello, Welcome To The Forums. Have A Bit Of A Sit Down and Introduce Yourselves

    I am also a dork and I an 37. I have no friends in the real world so I rely on the internet for any "adult" contact. I am a US citizen that moved to Canadastan with my Canadian wife. Since then, my interest in PC's has grown tremendously as it is my only real hobby now. Hopefully, I will be...

    AMD's AM2 vs 939

    Until they start putting out some faster DDR2 ram, there is just no need to spend all that extra money on the AM2. Besides, look at all the people still sporting P4's. Sure they are not the greatest performers, but they can still handle anything the is out. The same will be true for the S939...

    Logitech Speakers (5.1)

    I have the Logitech Z-680s and they are insane! The bass is powerful and the highs are clear as a bell. They even make the Karjan onboard sound good. Highly recommeded.

    AMD M2.. What We Know So Far

    The prices of S939 cpus has steadily declined. I would either wait a month or two and scoop up a cheap S939, or just go ahead and buy now. S939 will still be viable for years to come. Most of us that have them now have not tapped their full potential. You really cannot lose by sticking to...

    SLi - Yes or No on your new rig?

    Sorry to bring such an old thread back to life, but I must defend my 6800GS SLI setup. I easily outscore a single 7800GTX/X1800XT on every benchmark and my cards cost less than either of those 2 cards. Plus, they are not bottlenecked like almost any 7800GT/GTX SLI setup. The money spent on 2...
