Hey guys, xmas is coming and I'd like to get the 23wmi IPS 23" NEC monitor. I really need some advice. Problems are as follows; My current monitor is glossy. I like glossy because I don't 'work' under lots of light sources, so I get the punchy colours that glossy screens have over the anti...

Ok, so for some reason I'm getting no sound from my on board realtek sound. Can anyone help me out here??? Windows XP, installed latest gpu drivers, as well as realtek from what I can gather. :confused::confused:

holy crap lol

I don't see the point in this card lol. The temps and price are way out of wack. I mean if it smoked ati's offering from 6 months ago, then fair enough. Too bad it doesn't. I'll be sticking with my 8800gtx till the next best thing.

Doesn't look that bad to me. I get 60-67. Why not try the new intel chipset drivers instead of the microsoft ones. http://downloadcenter.intel.com/detail_desc.aspx?agr=N&ProductID=&DwnldID=15251

Seriously? LOL. Personally, I'd go for one with an external power source, but that's just me. Chances are, one with an external power source, will also be cheaper.

You will regret the bus powered drive. Just get the 7200 rpm one.

Stop using AS SSD tbh. I've just gone back to the intel ones, just to see what's the deal. If I don't like it after a few days, I'm going back to the ms ones, again.

I think I'm just going to stop using AS SSD to benchmark. It doesn't seem to be very consistent. Crystal Mark on the other hand , pretty much gives me the same results every time. Am I missing something?

After the first few runs, I was getting improved score by around 2-5 points. A day later, and my score has tanked from 405-410 to 364. I've reinstalled the old drivers, 8.9 as well as the intel tool box, and am running the optimiser. After I've done the optimiser, I'm going to revert back to...

I've got the fatality and use it with Audio Technica ATH-A900's and I like it just fine.

If it's a DX11 issue, then why do most people who seem to be reporting the issue here, have ATI cards? Please excuse me if I'm missing something here. :/

Don't even bother with the 5400 rpm drive. The 7200 will probably use an external power brick though. That's the sacrifice you make by going with a faster drive. What bottleneck? If you had a 5400, and firewire 800, then yeah there would be a bottleneck, the speed of the drive. With a 7200...

I know this isn't the answer you're looking for, but why would you want to run works suite 2000 in XP mode? Have you tried installing it in W7 in compatibility mode with win 2000 or xp? Do you have to run that program? Why not just download Open Office, it's free and works fine on w7.

I'm sure I had read something about this just the other day, Facebook saying they weren't going to do what they've just agreed to do :/ Of course, it's from the UK :D
