    Win 8.1 x64 random audio crash

    You've done everything I can think of to do. Do you have speakers hooked up when this happens? Try swapping those out.

    YMMV: Office Depot Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 $99 or less

    How many ran out to exploit this advertising error? Impressive moral flexibility.

    PC Speaker Upgrade, under $300. How's this look?

    Do any T-amps have inputs for a powered sub? Ideally I would like a 3.1 setup without having to invest in a full size receiver.

    "DimmDrive" RAM caching for individual games

    Both statements are correct, but they have nothing to do with each other. People can wash their clothes by hand and dry in the yard, for FREE, with minimal setup. Therefore only suckers would buy a washer and dryer. Lovely logic.

    What game have you logged the most hours on?

    Impressive stamina to rack up those kinds of hours. I can't game more than an hour, maybe two at a stretch. I doubt I have more than 1,000 hours combined for every computer game I've ever played. Now if you had asked about poker, well that's a different story...

    Who here has Xbox Sherex speakers on their computer?

    Was this impressive review written on April 1?

    "DimmDrive" RAM caching for individual games

    I don't know about this particular software, but I did once create a 15GB ramdrive (big enough to copy entire game into memory) and tested it with a few different games. Ramdrive vs mechanical drive was night and day. Ramdrive crushed mechanical performance. But the difference of a ramdisk vs...

    Kinect v2 for PC...worth a look?

    The Kinect system seems to be used more in commercial applications. Healthcare and education mostly, I haven't really seen much of anything in entertainment. At $199 for the sensor and requirement of windows 8 and USB 3.0, it doesn't really have the broad market appeal that game developers are...

    Windows 8.1 5.1 audio

    I just went through this process myself with a 7950. This is what I did. 1. Disable on board sound in bios and remove drivers. 2. If you are on windows 8/8.1 then just install latest version of Catalyst. Earlier OS versions may need Realtek driver for ATI HDMI audio 3. Verify that HDCP...

    850 Pro 512GB

    Fresh install is always best, but I've cloned mechanical drives to SSD as well. The key is to make sure the alignment is done correctly. But, pretty much any cloning software can do that correctly. I have personally used Paragon and the free cloning utility that came with my Samsung SSD, both...

    Delay when launching applications (Windows 8.1)

    I made the mistake of installing the disaster that is Windows 8.1... What a mess. I experienced the same delays in opening apps, internet would lose connection half a dozen times over the course of the day and Internet Explorer would constantly freeze, especially if there were more than half a...

    Receiver for separate TV / Computer speakers

    I did a fresh install of windows, with new drivers for video card. I think that may have fixed the HDMI issues. Zone 2 from my receiver is limited to analog signal. How lame is that... So your idea for small secondary amp is best option. Thanks for sharing! I didn't even know these little...

    Wireless Headset for Immersion

    To be honest it freaked me out a little when it first happened the first time, at our old house. Microwave was pretty low end, so I had tech take a look and he said it was ok. Still I didn't stand near it when it was on. But it also happened after we moved to new house. Current unit now is a GE...

    Wireless Headset for Immersion

    I used this for microphone. It will pick up a whisper from 25ft away, so room that you use it in should be quiet. http://www.amazon.com/MXL-AC404-USB-Conference-Microphone/dp/B001TGTDFM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419750071&sr=8-1&keywords=MXL+AC-404+USB
