Yep, I'm on 64 bit. Thanks,will check out those links and do some more looking. Have a feeling I might wind up just retiring my current 3 x 2GB kit. These 3 x 4GB kits look nice for the price- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233146...

Another way to look at it- Aren't cards with built in headphone amps trying to essentailly put something like this right on the card? FiiO E5- http://www.amazon.com/FiiO-E5-Headphone-Amplifier/dp/B001P9EQH8...

I'm guessing most headphone output ports use like a 99 cent part. I was looking at this card before I decided to go with my USB DAC- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829271004 It has a dedicated headphone amp. As far as I know, when you go with one of those you get...

I've been really happy with my E9 + E7 combo on my PC. Heard things I've never heard before with this setup, and that's on CDs I've been listening to for over 10 years.

The last time I shopped for RAM was on Win XP. Went from 2GB to 4GB for like $30. :) But that was years back, and I'm a bit out of practice. Motherboard- Asus P6X58D Premium. Core i7 930 2.8GHz overclocked to 3.8GHz by the system builder (Digital Storm). The board has six RAM slots and...

Those Swans look so nice. But my Klipsch 2.1s are still going strong, and I still like them, but if they ever die it's Swan time :) Anyway, I used motherboard sound forever and always thought it was pretty good. And it was / is. But for a careful listener with some nice speakers, yeah I...

Still enjoying the Das with the Cherry Blues. Great for typing and gaming. The clickiness is so satisfying, yet not loud enough to be an issue for me. Know how I mentioned that I miss the light up feature on my old Saitek Eclipse? Solved that problem last night. Was at the bookstore and...

*Writes that down* Cool, thanks for the update.

I still love my G245H. Every time I fire up a new game on this monitor, I am super impressed. Still, it's been a while since I bought the Acer. So NCX, what would be your current recommendation for a gaming monitor in the $200 - $300 range? I'm keeping my G245, but have a friend or two...

For most of us, once you try nice speakers, it's hard to go back. I'm guessing you'll be quite happy with some high quality speakers, and holy **** does that Swan M50w look nice. :) In fact, those might be my next set. When it comes to good speakers, people tend to focus on bass. Bass is...

My new DataVac showed up last night. Seems well built- it's heavy and made of metal. I haven't opened my PC since I got it last summer*, so it was a little dusty inside. I put on the long, straw like attachment and went with that. I didn't put on the tiny angled attachment, as I didn't want...

I like a wired mouse. You plug it in, it works. No worries about response time, battery charging, unwanted turn off, bad or no signal, and so on. Yep, I'm all about the wire. http://images.wikia.com/thewire/images/e/e9/Stringer.jpg

Call an electricial is always a fine answer. On your own, you could check various outlets with one of these-\ Amazon.com: Gardner Bender #GFI6302 Receptacle Tester: Home Improvement@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/314zLs0lclL.@@AMEPARAM@@314zLs0lclL That will verify that...

I haven't bought a set of closed headphones yet, but here's an update on the FiiO E7 / E9 after owning this setup for two months. Everything sounds great. Music through headphones, music through my 2.1 speakers, and games. Vocals, imaging, clarity, detail, and you can crank the hell out of...

Order placed. I'm tired of buying 4 packs of air for $20, or the occasional single can for $5 - $7.
