What size laptop?

The G73SW-A1 comes with 2x Momentus XT 500GB drives; not sure what the OP's model is. That 460M should be able to hit 850/1600/1700 on an OC, as many have confirmed with me elsewhere. Now all you need is a SSD and 1866 RAM. :D Have fun with your new lappy! :)

The Dell XPS 17", The Everki Beacon, and the Targus 17" XL Of the three, I prefer the Beacon because I think it offers better protection compared to the Targus, and holds nearly as much. The Dell is HUGE. The Beacon is the most compact of the three, and can fold open completely, making it...

The G53SX has the i7 2630 + GTX560M and like any Sandy, supports a 1866 RAM upgrade. The G series is also known for maintaining a cool exterior while under full load.

If you had gone with a Sandybridge model, you would have gotten 1600 and 1866 RAM support. I have a G73SW-A1 here with 16GB of Kingston 1866 PnP SODIMM Memory and it does make the system overall more snappier, and smoother for gameplay. For rendering work it would do very well. If their...

The GSOD issue on G73JH units has been a hot topic over at NBR.com, and I wanted to link you over there for some tips. You can see the links in my sig there for background info on how we came to the possible working setup.

Depends on what you are listening to. If you are in GAME MODE and have CMSS-3D enabled, and listening to music, then yes, you will get distortion because it is being filtered by the effects engine to generate HRTF's. If gaming, you want the HRTF's. 1) unsync Creative and Windows Audio...

Running that application gives you a tabbed interface to make many changes, including modes. Try running it and you will see what I mean. It's in your Creative install dir.

CTAudRun.exe has a tab for that.

You have a link for this article? I think that Sony is discontinuing because they aren't selling the quantity they desire rather than iPod Death. Besides, I know quite a few iPod users using lossless.

The latest Audigy release has an updated CMSS algorithm which some speculate is a port of the X-Fi's implementation.

The port on the bottom of an iPod isn't a standard USB port, so I think you're probably SOL on this route.

Another option would be an external decoder designed for a soundcard. Creative's DDTS-100 allows you to connect your soundcard plus other sources to the DDTS-100, and decode all Dolby and DTS formats, plus have options for Neo:6 and such. You can also connect your soundcard via analog for...

Funny? Maybe to you, but it is also true. The CS4398 DAC x4 + the JRC 2068 and 2114 opamps offers a very good output stage. Considering my Pioneer uses AKM's AK4586VQ DAC, the quality difference in the final output was negligible, and even the CS4398's offered a more detailed presentation...

Klipsch and Creative do the same thing.
