    Asus Rampage sound card question

    I have an Asus Rampage Formula coming for my new build. It comes with an add on sound card called SupremeFX or something. My question is do I have to install this card if I just want to use the SPDIF connector that is built in to the board? I have read the manual but it just shows how to...

    The Official HP w2207/w2007 Thread

    Just picked up a 2207h from BB. Build date is 4th week of Jan. 08 ITMH3.7 MT220WW01-V1 Looks like its an Innolux. I'm happy with it, it looks great. Far better than a 2 year old Samsung 19 in. I had before. It looks much better at home than it did in the store. No backlight bleed at...

    I have windows vista, how do I see the DX 10 demos?

    You must have a DX10 graphic card. This means you must have an Nvidia 8800GTS or 8800GTX. If you do, go to Nvidia web site and download the latest drivers and demos. No other graphic card will support DX10 as of today. More are coming soon.

    Gigabyte 680i board? Thoughts?

    They announced the "launch" on Jan 15 but this is BS because these boards are not available anywhere. If anyone sees one for sale please post info here.

    asus p5n-e sli

    Remove the CPU from the socket and inspect the socket very carefully for bent pins. Use a magnifing glass if you have to.

    The [H]ard Forum Terabyte Club - READ first post before posting

    My home system finally reached 1TB as shown below. At work we are buying an array of well over 1000 TB, i.e. 1 Petabyte for a contract we are working on. I can't say what it is used for except that it is related to homeland security. The array is obviously not inside the PC (the array has its...

    Why I won't be buying Vista

    Well slighly more than a rumor but you are quite correct that nothing has been confirmed. I got carried away there with my outrage.

    Why I won't be buying Vista

    Well there is now no longer any advantage to buying the more expensive retail box. Everyone who is into building their own PC will go with the much cheaper OEM verisions. This will cost MS a lot of money. So I predict this scheme will backfire since no one will buy Vista retail! Large...

    nFORCE 5 for INTEL

    Why do you say not so good? The DailyTech article is confusing. Maybe I'm wrong, but my take is that the 680i will be the almost the same as the 590 except that the poor overclocking of the 590 will be fixed. There is a lot of speculation about this in the comments posted on DailyTech after...

    vista rc1 activation key

    I just installed Vista with no key. Should work for 14 days. Is there something to stop you from just resetting the date to the day you installed (using XP in a dual boot or BIOS) and turning off the internet clock update?

    Power supply failure damage? HELP

    Your problem happened when you connected the X1900 board. Try with the X1900 disconnected, there may be a short on the graphics card. Inspect everything for burn marks.
