    Can two PC's play the same music at the same exact time ?

    It depends on how exactly the music needs to be the same. It's probably rather difficult to get exact synchronization... but only a fraction of a second difference is probably quite doable. While I can't give exact steps since I haven't done this particular exercise, the solution using the least...

    Thinking of upgrading to an X-Fi

    The model you are considering is not "really" an X-Fi, it's just sharing the name. I have to agree with Balthazor that the eXtreme Audio products are not worth considering. The other X-Fi cards will make a noticeable difference for gaming.

    8800GT 256MB SLI on Opteron 170 @2.6Ghz ?

    I assume you are overclocking that 170, since stock they run at 2 Ghz. I have a system that's not all that far off, dual Opteron 856, which run at 3 GHz. I have a 9800GX2. Both are new upgrades, I had been running dual Opty 246 (2 Ghz) with an 8800GTX for a few months, and then for a few...

    SLI 8800 Ultras or 9800 GX2's?

    That review was the new 8800GT (512 MB) vs the old 8800GTS (320 MB), not new vs new. If I recall, at the time of that review, the new GTS had not been released. The source of your confusion is nVidia giving the same name to two different cards. Twice. The new GT is indeed slower than the...

    Have to upgrade...

    I bought my 8800GTX for $470 at the end of January, knowing I'd step it up a few weeks later. By the time I did step up, you could get a new 8800GTX for $280, counting rebate. To sell one now for $475 is outstanding. That said, if I were you, there's no way I could look the buyer in the eye...

    Should i keep a card with 1 dvi/1 HDMI port or change it for card with 2 dvi ports

    The X-Fi makes you buy accessories to get an SPDIF header, or comes with them on the more expensive varieties. It's possible that by connecting the associated pins for those accessories for SPDIF that you could then plug it into your video card and get it to work, but then again, it may not...

    PCIe 2.0 vs PCIe x16

    In theory 2.0 cards can spit data back and forth between themselves and the CPU twice as fast. But in reality it's like a speed limit. It doesn't matter that the speed limit got raised to 200 from 100 when the fastest car(d)s can only go 80.

    PCI-E 1 or 2 for 9800GX2?

    No. Even the 9800GX2 does not fill the bandwidth of one PCI-e 1.0 16x slot. That's not to say no card you might want someday to upgrade to won't, but you'll be fine with either for now. I am not sure if 8x lanes would slow you down, if you're considering quad SLI, because some SLI designs...

    9800Gx2 - no monitor signal

    This appears to be a not uncommon problem with the 9800GX2 upon first installation. I had it, a couple others on the eVGA boards had it. It gets fixed by unplugging power from the monitor, waiting some amount of time, and plugging it back in. Problem doesn't return. Yours actually worked that...
