    Your thoughts on Quad Core?

    I cannot agree more. I almost feel foolish that I spent the money myself.

    Will Phenom work on my AM2 Mobo??

    Just remember though, you won't get some of the architectural benefits of AM2+ since you board is only capable of AM2 specs. HTT 3.0 and the dual plane power features are the big ones that come to mind that current AM2 boards cannot support.

    How Does 17,000% Profit Sound?

    Actually, they only use your CC information to verify who you are. They cannot debit your account if you don't pay your fees. They can only suspend your account for that. There are alot of misconceptions as to what Ebay and Paypal can do with your info. People think Paypal can withdraw money...

    How Does 17,000% Profit Sound?

    All my best bargains on Ebay come from mislabeled ads and ads placed in the wrong sections.

    Auzentech's X-Fi Card Available Next Week

    The 1 large nagging problem I have with this card is the fact it uses Creative drivers and crapware. For me, that fact alone kills any advantage it has running higher quality components. Hopefully, Creative will allow Auzentech to create their own drivers in the near future.

    Does Nokia's new phone look like the iPhone?

    This must be an iJoke. I also agree. Is every single product that mirror's it (like all new products do to each other) is it gonna be called a copy? Take an iPill and call me in the iMorning.

    iPhone thoughts

    I cannot be from Apple unless it is highly overpriced and hardly worth the money. Period.

    Which camera do you think would suit better?

    I spent the extra on the Canon S5 IS not too long ago and it was the best investment I ever made in a camera. The pictures my wife and I take are often mistake for professional shots even though we are very much amateur photo buffs. It is extremely feature packed and powerful with a 12X...

    Vista... sucks

    What version do you use? The main reason I am not very willing to go to Vista is that their 64-bit support is slow, although much better than XP-64bit. I see no logical reason to buy another 32-bit OS since XP works so well and DX10 is still a ghost.

    Good media player for Linux Ubuntu

    No matter how I install them, the Nvidia drivers just do not work at all for me under Ubuntu. Under Kubuntu, they work like a charm. I have been using "Ubuntu Forums" to do the step by step install process. Anyhow, I am back up and running dual booting XP and Kubuntu. It is ridiculously easy...

    Good media player for Linux Ubuntu

    No, I managed to install the wrong drivers and that in turn would cause the GUI to not run leaving me in full command line mode only. I tried about 10 different things and then said "F-it" and just used the live CD. I was being an ass when I did it and was just not being careful at all...

    Good media player for Linux Ubuntu

    I just downloaded Kubuntu and am gonna install that tonight. I creamed my HD today by carelessly attempting to install Nvidia drivers without really paying attention to which version. I lost my desktop, LOL!!! Anyhow, I'll keep posting with my results/questions.

    Good media player for Linux Ubuntu

    Yeah, I am thoroughly enjoying my experience so far. I even setup a dual boot with XP yesterday so I can still game easily. I am amazed as to just how easy it is to work with Linux, especially Ubuntu. I can 110% recommend it to anyone that is afraid of Linux like I was.

    Vista... sucks

    I just learned how to dual boot Linux Ubuntu and XP so there's no need, want or desire here for Vista. All I need is XP for games, and since I am sporting all DX9 hardware, that really means there's no need for Vista for me.

    Well, I finally took the plunge and went to Linux. Now I need a good media player, any suggestions?

    Could multichannel (surround) sound on the PC be dying?

    Now that you said it and I looked around, the only new 5.1 high end stuff that is PC dedicated is the Edifier 5.1's (which are pretty nice might I add). Klipsch's real problem was internally mounting a 500W+ amp inside the subwoofer with nowhere to dissipate the heat. They simply failed, even...

    Could multichannel (surround) sound on the PC be dying?

    I agree. I've had my Z680's for 2+ years and there is no reason I feel a newer set has anything to offer in the way of upgrading. Klipsch's high end stuff bit the dust because of a very poor design with the amplifier and the fact that the Ultra's amp bit the dust at an alarming rate for such a...
