after reading a bit on the forums I think I'm down to getting the ASUS Xonar STX or the Fiio E7. I want a gradual upgrade path so the E7 might allow me to get higher end headphones such as the AKG K701 and the E9 later. I do have SPDIF out on the mobo but I think the E7 just uses an USB? I do...

Will I hear a difference if i upgrade my onboard realtek HD audio (desktop) to a dedicated sound card? I have logitech z-2300 for a speaker, and Sennheiser HD555 for headphone. Music quality is a bit more important to me than movie quality. At the moment I'm not planning on getting a 5.1 system...

I'm looking at the 128GB one which is $200 on amazon. My mobo only has sata2 so I doubt the M4 will have any advantages for me over the C300 (other than future proofness). When m4 becomes available from major retailers, will the price of C300 significantly drop from the current $200 ?

I bought a USB 3.0 enclosure and a EVGA USB 3.0 PCI-E adapter card. I'm getting only slightly higher speeds for USB 3.0 (about 40MB/s sustained) vs USB 2.0 (about 30MB/s sustained). The disk is a Samsung HD204UI, and gets up to 90MB sustained transfer on internal SATA. I'm using windows 7 64bit...

Will DDR2 800mhz ram (assuming no overclocking potential) bottleneck phenom II 940's 1)stock speed 2)overclocked speed? If so, by how much? Can someone explain how AMD processor works with ram clock?

DDR3 is dirt cheap too...more so than DDR2? Just recently there was " 6GB (3x2GB) OCZ DDR3-1333 Triple Channel Desktop Memory $38 after $50 MIR". DDR3 being cheap is the only reason I'm not certain about getting a AM2+ setup.

Phenom II 940 seems to be the best CPU for the price right now. But then I'm stuck with DDR2 with no ram upgrade option. 955 is currently too expensive. If I go DDR3 I would probably go with the 710 or 720. I guess DDR2 price will gradually increase? I can settle with 4GB now, but maybe there...

Hi, this is a screenshot from supreme commander. What is the color of the icons circled in black? I say yellow. My friend insists that it's orange. Let's take a poll!.

Agreed. Search is useful for quickly accessing files buried deep in the filesystem even though you know where they are. This way you don't need to have too many shortcuts on the desktop. The Vista "stack by" feature is so powerful, basically you can divide files into virtual folders based on any...

Some, maybe. Others are valid. For example, you cannot create a file with the Finder menu. It's not expecting OS X to behave like windows. It's something every OS has, even linux. Tell me a quicker way to do this in OS X than in Windows. And if you seriously cannot see any uses for it.. well...

Common misunderstanding. Command-X only works on text, not files in Finder. Please get your facts clear. It's not just about getting used to the OS X way, or even about customizing the OS. You simply can't do some basic things in OS X, period. Yes, most of things you do in windows, you can...

Hi, i just sold my 6800GS and plan to get either 7800gt or 8800gt. I'm afraid the 8800gt is not worth getting since my other specs are low. I have DFI Ultra-D mobo, socket 939 AMD Opteron 144 (single cored) OC'ed to 2.7 Ghz and 512mb x 2 DDR PC3200 Ram. I don't plan to upgrade the Ram...

what about regular computer LCD displays?

Hi, I want 1680x1050 resolution. I have 2 choices. Selling my 1280x800 laptop and getting a 1680x1050, 15.4" one, or just get an external 22" monitor to hook up to my laptop. In either case, I spend about the same. Mobile 1680x1050 is of course a plus. But, will the text be so small that I...
