Xonar solved my Bioshock issue and does sound pretty good. Is it better than onboard sound? Well I like the simulated surround with headphones in games, but music is about the same as onboard. I am mostly happy for its compatibility and driver.

Just picked up a Xonar DG to see if the Headphone amp and Dolby Sound make a difference as I only game with Headphones. I was perfectly happy with my Abit IP-35's onboard Realtek sound, but never really had any game issues with it. Installed Bioshock for the first time on this new Asrock...

Glad I looked at this late, else I definitely would have spent more money :p Just picked up Fable 3 and Bioshock collection for less than $10 each. Already owned Bioshock on PC and Bioshock 2 on Xbox 360, but want Bioshock 2 on Steam as I really don't play my consoles anymore.

Thanks! I would not have noticed. Oh, and I did give Win 8 a go, but it had issues with my SSD. Metro kind of blows too, so I went with Win 7.

I have never played an MMO for two reasons...time and monthly subscription. Never felt I would play the game enough in a month to be worth the subscription fee, so refused to even consider any game that was subscription based. Lord of the Rings online has me looking at it because of its model...

I tried the pre-release for a bit with the new build, but the beta did not like my SSD in ACHI mode and went unrecoverable. So I went and picked up another Win7 OEM and called it a day. Metro's home page is really awful, but I could have lived with the OS as long as I could get every thing to...

I just ordered a few items for the first time in over a year and the packing was terrible. The PSU box was damaged, although I doubt the damage was due to the shipping material and more likely a shipper dropping it before packing it. Good thing Seasonic packs it PSU's well as there was no...

I was very tempted on 2x8gb dimms, very. Unfortunately, I had to cut cost somewhere and going with 8gb memory off the bat instead of 16gb was what got cut. Mainly because that is what I am running in Win 7 now, so starting in 8 with 8gb was minimum. I am guessing that when I go to 16gb, I will...

Yep. I bought my wife an IPad and she is almost never on the PC anymore. She only goes on when she wants to make longer replies as the IPad can be annoying. As far as the thread goes, I never use the start menu at home, but I do a lot a work. I have quite a few more apps to juggle at work...

Well I have finally decided to make the jump. I bought my Lian-Li case last fall on sale, thinking I would move my rig into it. But never wanted to take the PC down long enough to make the move. When I saw Microcenter have great deal on an ASRock Z68 Fatal1ty board and the I5 2500k, I...

Pretty badass. I love everything TRON, Uprising is great.

The only way I know how to play multiple files almost seamlessly is using something like XBMC for play black. In XBMC you can play a folder, although I usually notice a hesitation on the change, but at least you don't have to exchange discs. I have the DVD versions, but these are some of my...

Yea I remember seeing it this price during black friday, but I passed because I was not shopping for myself. I did not know it had stayed this price since, I was just happy to see it again. It is a nice set for that price and I wanted the Blu Ray EE's.

Funny thread.
