Ah ok thanks Rob installing Linux should be a breeze then. The noise comes over the speakers when I enter the windows desktop, but as I said before I have already un-installed and then re-installed the audio drivers to the latest version, and it happens in linux as well so I can't really see...

Wow thanks Rob that's heaps of info! I forgot to mention that randomly when I turn on my comp a high-pitched noise comes through my speakers constantly. I've tried different ports, headphones, etc. I've uninstalled, then updated to the latest audio drivers. I also booted into pclinux while it...

Hi, I'm fed up with Windows. I'm currently running XP Pro and a while ago it was stuffing up and doing some freaky stuff as it tends to do sometimes, so I did a fresh re-install and its still being typical Windows and today it spontaneously freezed on me so I've had it. Now, I want to...

Sure it helps me :P I'm open to all options. I haven't been able to read through reviews for all the cards out there so let me know if there is anything else I should be considering aswell. I'll have a look at the DX.

I'm thinking about upgrading from my onboard sound to a good quality sound card. It's either the AC-1 or an X-Fi Fatal1ty Pro. I'm leaning more towards the AC-1 because it's $20 cheaper, but I recently had a bad experience with Razer (got two Lycosa keyboards in a row that had faulty...

Thanks Rob, that's a freaking awesome video. Funniest bit was how he had his icons arranged as a penis :p lmao Now officially my favorite video.

LOL funniest forumer in the world ^^ Happy birthday :)

Yeah I'm guessing prices for different products are a whole lot different between us two. Have you had any experience with the Kingston HyperX memory, or heard anything good/bad about it? And yes, I do always have this much trouble making a decision when buying things :P

Did you mean the 4GB kit of those which is $136? It's funny. My brothers has those, as well as a friend of mine who just built a new rig. Didn't really want to do the same thing as them, although I guess that sounds kind of stupid. I could spend an extra 4 bucks and get Kingston HyperX RAM...

No I haven't bought the RAM yet. This is the exact RAM that I'm thinking about buying. I thought overclocking RAM made a big difference in performance, what with all the hype companies give it. Now that I know it doesn't maybe I should just buy a different, less expensive, 4GB kit? I would...

Ok thanks. And would anyone be able to explain RAM timings to me in layman's terms? Or atleast refer me to a good site that explains it all? Kinda off-topic, but what do you guys use to overclock other components?

If you had a nice setup with a sub-woofer and huge surround sound speakers, along with a big tv cabinet with your plasma in it, it probably wouldn't look too much out of place. With it's simple design I don't think it would look too bad in any medium-sized living room's corner, to be honest. I...

What overclocking program/s are best for overclocking RAM?

As soon as a cost effective and efficient electric car comes out i'll be all over it. One thing that I've learned in my other hobby - RC cars - is that electric RC cars are so much cleaner, quieter, smarter and reliable than those with internal combustion engines. With new technology coming out...

Ok thank you for your help, it really cleared a few things up in my mind. Looking forward to the new RAM.

OK so it would still be an alright idea to buy the RAM do you think? And does anyone have any recommendations for some other RAM off that site I mentioned in my first post, or is Reaper probably the best?

I heard that 32-bit will recognize 3.5 gigs, but still do dual channel. From what I read on that corsair article, it's basically your amount of physical ram, minus your video memory? Howcome you say only 2.75 gigs?

I am going to sell the current RAM I have to a family member to help pay for the Reaper memory, so I won't have them both in at the same time. I'm running 32-bit XP so having 6GB of RAM would be pointless anyway. I'm still not too sure what the timings on RAM really means. I know that its all...

Hi guys. I'm thinking about upgrading my 2GB (2 x 1GB modules) of Team Elite 800mhz RAM to 4GB (2 x 2GB) of some different RAM, instead of just buying another 2GB of the same RAM. The things I don't like about the RAM I have now is that it's rather generic, doesn't have a lifetime warranty, and...

All looks pretty good to me. The only thing I could suggest to you would be to get a different, bigger, HDD. Although, if you have your mind set on getting a raptor, I'd suggest getting another HDD aswell. Then you can load your OS/'s onto the raptor and maybe your games, then have all your...
