The combination will be alright given that speakers don't sound good without a sound card! Nah, the X-Fi is great, I just prefer other cards such as the Xonar for music and such.

I'm a little confused. You live around Crapstone? If so, that's awesome.

From our front-page news: We've talked a lot about SSDs in our news section before, and for good reason. They're small, fast and desirable in almost every way. But, like most things that are "too good to be true", there are a few caveats - namely price and fragmentation. Our friends at PC...

From our front-page news: Where "top lists" are concerned, there's no shortage, but sadly, the really good ones are a little more rare. Like the one I posted about earlier, one posted last week at Tech Radar is one of the better ones, with a staggering 50 tips and tricks for Windows 7 users...

From our front-page news:Where the word "cliche" is concerned, the definition might as well include discussion of first-person shooter titles. It's one of those words that I don't hear of too often, but when I do, most often the person will be talking about an FPS game. What is it about that...

To be honest, the date you see shouldn't be January 1, 1970, because that's Unix-derived. I think Windows can base a preset date like that depending on when the OS was first installed, but I'm not really sure of the full story. Whereas Unix time began on January 1, 1970, Windows' epoch begins on...

Alright, that "Problem Steps Recorder" is fantastic... I had no idea that feature existed. Kudos to Microsoft for conjuring up that one... it should come in handy many times over. I admit, top lists are usually boring, but that one's quite good. I can't believe Windows will finally allow direct...

It's hard to say the issue then... but it sounds like it's the audio card. As long as it doesn't pop and whine while you use the PC, you should be fine. If you have any other Linux questions, feel free to ask :-)

Ever take a look at someone's name, or a place name, and laugh? Of course, there are some humorous names out there, for both, like "Toilet" as a last name. Well, I don't think anyone has anything on England where this is concerned. What can be found in the southwest portion of the country? Why...

... it would look something like this: <object height="385" width="640"> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/q1UPMEmCqZo&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="385" width="640"></object>...

I meant his Xbox Live account. I figured it Microsoft saw the auction, then they'd just ban the account from being used. It seems that's not the case though, because it looks like the seller has turned to Craigslist instead: http://news.cnet.com/8301-10797_3-10164037-235.html

The noise through the speakers, does that happen at POST or when you hit your Windows desktop? If the former, it's probably the audio card, but if the latter, it could be a driver issue (you might want to update or re-install them). The best thing might be to just turn the speakers off until you...

Haha. Strangely enough, I don't have any liquor at the house right now. That might change before the day is through, though!

The TLB bug was a rather significant one, but I agree, it was blown out of proportion. Chances are someone would be more likely to have their CPU just up and die on them than experience this bug. That said, it was a rather major issue regardless, and one that AMD should have caught earlier on...

What the? LOL.

Unix-based operating systems may allow users to check for the system time in a human-readable format, but deep-down, its clock is relatively simple. The Unix internal clock officially began at midnight on January 1, 1970. Since that date, it's been on a quest to reach 1234567890, and yes, that...

I have to wonder what people think before they post auctions like these. Do they actually think they are going to get away with it, especially when the mainstream media gets hold of the story? Probably now, the account is banned, so no one has the name.

I agree with Merlin on this one. It sounds more like a hardware-related issue than an OS one, so before going further, I'd be sure to stress-test each component to make sure that it's a-ok. The first I would test would be the RAM, without question. It often has the tendency to be the first piece...

Gotta love that. There's a good reason I shun Bluetooth headphones, and this is as good a reason as any to add to the pile ;-)

Hi kzmoon: To be portable, the largest you are going to be able to go right now would be 500GB. There isn't anything larger outside of the 2.5" form factor, and it seems you want something you can keep in your jacket that's not going to be a nuisance. One option right now would be from Western...
