    Best 5.1 speakers for a gamer not on a budget

    Just to chime in...I ALWAYS wear headphones when gaming. I play FPS games almost exclusively. Speakers for games are great for the sound depth and stage they create. However, almost every person I game with uses headphones exclusively for gaming.

    Looking for a quality 2.0 or 2.1 computer setup

    I just set up an analog out to my old stereo receiver (14 yr. old Sony A/V, a cheap Sony sub, my Athena LS-50 way bookshelf speakers ($55/pair) ), and I gotta say - it blows away any 2.1 "computer speaker" setup I've ever heard. I, then decided to run S-video out the PC to the LCD and Sony...

    New Audio System: Kenwood VR 606 Option

    I've been offered a used Kenwood HTB-505 system for $150 from someone in town. It comes with the receiver (VR-606), a sub, 4 speakers (front and rear). I'm considering buying this system for my bedroom setup. My goal is a real bang for the buck audio setup for less than $200. I'm wondering if...

    Secondary System: Off on Right Foot

    Hi gang. I'm trying to enhance a system I have. I have a new build, with a 6750 processor, 8800 vid card, 2 gig ram, 20" lcd, etc. I'm using onboard sound with a Gigabyte P35-DS3R mobo. Decent quality sound, but I have crackle/pop when gaming or watching movies. I do not have a stereo...

    BEST 775 HS/Fan

    If you're not overclocking, or just a mild OC, how about the Arctic Freezer 7 Pro. I think it's $20 from ewiz.com. I'm using this on an e6750 clocked to 3.2 GHz (8 x 400), and the temps are great, and it's very quiet.

    CPU seems slower

    should have a fancy name for it, but in my experience Windows OS comps slow down after awhile - bloatware, more apps in Startup, all the patches/udpates, etc. :rolleyes: Run MSCONFIG too and check out the startups apps. You can also clean up your Services you might have running. I concur -...

    Which of these motherboards?

    I am extremely happy with my Gigabyte P35-DSR3 running an e6750 @ 3.2Ghz (8x400), and running my RAM at 1:1. I'll overclock it higher later, but for now running every game/app just fine. Very stable, extremely cool temps, onboard sound is best onboard I've ever heard (the Realtek on the...

    Looking for cheap compatible ram for GIGABYTE GA-P35C-DS3R

    I'm running a 2x-1Gb Patriot Extreme PC2 6400 in a Gigabyte P35-DSR3, $78 AR. They booted up at 5-5-5-12 1.8v, and I manually set the timings to 2.2v and 4-4-4-12 in BIOS. I'm also running a e6750 at 3.2 GHz (8x400), so my memory is @ 1:1...

    GA-P35-DS3R EPP in BIOS?

    I'm trying to find in the BIOS how to enable EPP (Enhanced Profile Protocol) for my memory. I have a GA-P35-DS3R Mobo, with a e6750 running at 400Mhz x 8, and 2 x 1Gb Patriot Extreme 800 DDR2 running at 1:1. I've manually set the memory to its specs: 4-4-4-12, and 2.2v. However, I've read...

    AreEss' Abit IP35 Feature Comparison

    No problem Pepsi. I won't be doing one for new chipsets - because I just got a P35 board and won't be upgrading :) But if anyone want the layout, I can export it as a .xls for them.

    E6750, just pulled the trigger !

    Looks like for once I finally was in the lucky crowd. I ordered a e6750 from mwave, along withing Gigabyte DSR3 Mobo and I got an email saying they had shipped with a FedEx tracking number within 3 hours. :cool:

    Gigabyte P35-DS3P

    FYI: I read a couple reviews on Newegg from peeps who said their CPU coolers wouldn't fit (without modification with power tools) because of the MB cooler. Just something to check out if you're considering this board.

    Onboard Sound Quality?

    Thanks Snowy and Pepsi, Looks like the bit-tech reviews analyze sound in much more detail than other sites. I'll check them out, thanks. Looks like the Gigabyte has better stats. Next, I'll try to compare the status to a dedicated card.
