    You can hook up both analog and coaxial from the x-fi to the z-5500. Just switch to 6-CH Direct mode by pressing the "Input" key on your control pod or remote when you want to play games to get true 5.1 and press the "Input" key again to the "Coax" mode when you want to play raw digital streams...

    EVGA SLi Mobo discussion thread. Come one, come all.

    Damn! Are you serious!?! :eek: Guess I'm just one of the unlucky few... I got each Ballistix Tracer PC4000 for 89$ CAD, so It's around $77 USD only :D. It's listed as $95.99 USD on Crucial.com I had to pay $25 CAD for RMA shipment but it ain't that bad in the end ;)

    exactly, then you can just add another stick of 1 gig to have dual 1gig :D beats single channel 4X512mb anyday! BTW, I ran memtest86+ and found errors on one of my ballistix tracers so I'm going to RMA and get a good stick hopefully! :D So relieved now that I found the problem, should've...

    Prime95 once again gave me the rounding error... This time I was also running 4 instances of Prime95, one custom blend test using 350mb of RAM each for every core, and one small FFT test for every core. The error was from one of the Prime95 running a blend test again, this time only after 9 hrs...

    I started Prime95 yesterday(Nov.30) at 8AM EST again with my RAM slightly relaxed at 2-2-2-6 1T 200mhz and it went on without probs for more than 15 hrs or so and one of the blend tests on one core failed today(Dec.1) at 3AM and the other blend test on the other core failed at 6AM. My mem is...

    Does the Ballistix Tracer differ from the normal Ballistix? The tracers have LEDs, but is there any performance differences between the 2? Are a pair of PC4000 Ballistix any good compared to the PC3200 (on NF41 mobo)...

    On the nvidia driver download section under nforce platform drivers, at the bottom there is a category nForce4 AMD/Intel X16 - Windows XP/2000 (32-Bit): Version: 6.82 Release Date: October 26, 2005 WHQL Certified Should I use that driver since the NF41 is an x16 board? Or should i...

    Can't make such a seemingly simple decision! help needed..

    I just did some more calculations and the price per GB of them are the same after the rebates (since i have to include the 15% taxes first, yes 15%...). So the decision comes down to performance for me.

    Can't make such a seemingly simple decision! help needed..

    First time posting here! I have read the sticky by DougLite and found it so very helpful. I've also read reviews from many sources including Tom's Hardware , AnandTech , StorageReview as well. However, I cannot decide between the Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 300GB NCQ/SATA-150/8mb cache Seagate...
