Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here.

Does anyone notice any difference between using your sound card to decode dolby vs an external decoder and then sending it to your pc speakers??? The only high end one I see that does this is the logitech z 5500 and most people prefer the promedia ultras and gigaworks which don't use digital...
Can you send an analog signal through coax/optical cables or is it only for digital signals??
Would there be any sound quality improvement from sending the signals to a seperate decoder and then to the speakers vs having the sound card decode the signals and then send it to the speakers?
Why can't the sound card decode the signal and pass it along the digital wires? Is the signal analog once it is decoded?? It seems weird that the decoded signal can't be passed along the digital outputs.
Thanks for the info. Do you need a seperate decoder like the high end logitech to hear Dolby/DTS or is the sound card good enough if it decodes Dolby/DTS? (audigy 2 ZS) Or is the seperate decoder only needed for optical/coax wires? Would the speakers sound a lot better (on average) if I bought...
Do digital speakers sound that much better than analog ones or is the benefit just fewer cables? Seeing as the gigaworks all use analog connections I doubt they sound horrible.
For PC, can a sound card decode dts/dolby and then I can hook any speakers up to it or do I need to get a stand alone decoder? Is it possible to use dts when watching a dvd on my pc or is it only for tvs? Finally for tvs do I just need a home receiver that decodes and then I can hook any...
so even if you have the best oc ram possible it would be better to still use a mem divider (on a newer cpu like a A64) to get the highest possible fsb while not losing cpu speed as cpu speed is the most important? So system communication will still increase with a higher fsb even if the memory...
Do dead pixels happen anytime in the lifetime of a lcd or just before you buy one? So If there are none when I get it am I safe or can the pixels stick after a couple of years?
I was wondering if anyone has had ghosting or blurring problems (or anything like that) with laptop lcds.I have never heard or seen any issues when using laptop lcds and I was wondering why can't desktop lcds be like that. This also applies to lcd tvs. I have never heard I can't play this game...
Does a higher fsb speed up your system or give any benefits if the cpu end result is the same? Like 250 fsb x 8 multi vs 200 X 10 multi. Does it give any benefit besides possibly speeding up the ram seeing as the pci express, and everything else seems locked? Has anyone found a way to...
Why get real? It states 4 12V rails 16A,14A,16A, 14A.
Where are you seeing a 420watt max for the 12V? I don't see it on their websites spec sheet. Are you looking at the right 550 model? I would be curious to see this vs the power and cooling 510 SLI with the same room temps and all that.
Look at this beast. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103447 :eek: Has anyone used one or heard anything about it? Even if it isn't as stable as the PC power and cooling 510 SLI it has to still dominate the power and cooling with amps on the 12V rails. It isn't rated for...
I know raid zero gives you performance and splits up your data into stripes but does it use twice the space? When you store like a game on a harddrive (say 2gb) does it use 2gb on each drive, 1 on each? The reviews I have seen show a good boost in performance with raid 0, but I don't want to...
It seemed in your sig eclipse, that you got a good bump on fps on cs source for 20-30 mhz higher so if you go like 50 or more mhz higher you should get some improvement over regular ram. Now if you max out the graphics the extra fps will decrease but I am interested in how much you can still get.
