Right now i just have 1 3.5mm cord going from receiver to the computer because i lost the one it came with that had all 3, so my sub/center and rear isn't connected. I'm just using 2 speakers right now anyway and i don't notice the sub any quieter with it not being hooked up.
So my question is...
Wanting to spend as little as possible, a new cpu for my mobo would not be much of a performance increase would it? The most demanding game i play is battlefield and i'd like to get min 60 fps. If there is a really could used cpu i could buy that is a good value that would be the best, the e8400...
5770 Sapphire and X2 5600+ 1080p reso, my gpu load is a whole lot less than my cpu's, and i was wondering if it will actually hurt my performance if i enable AA. I've heard not to trust the benchmark tool.
Not wanting to spend much, but as long as it isnt one of the slower Phenom I X4's i am definitely interested. Also if you have a newer motherboard with a quad core included ill also consider that.

how much worse would that be compared to one a second generation if i matched the clock speed? Thanks.

i recently sold my 8800gt, 2gb ram, e4500 and built 8500gt, 2gb, 5600+.. now besides the gpu, this computer should be faster right? Overall it feels pretty slow, bootup takes forever, facebook chat lags the hell out of me, and gta4 only gets 15fps on the benchmark(got 33, though it was a while...
I own the z-5500 speakers, and a while back i had a foobar2000 mod called sharpener or something of the sort, and it made the vocals sound like they came from a much more expensive set of speakers.
Does anyone know of any addons for f2k that would enhance my listening experience?
any help...

so after 5 months ive started to fiddle with the settings on my z-5500, and i was wondering where i should put the "surround" bar on the control pod? in the middle, or the far right?
so ive had this system for the past 5-6 years, and recently the speakers blew on it, and since the amp and everything on it still works fine i was going to use it for a new system.

thanks.

I've come across some money, and looking to upgrade my rig. will either be playing on 22'' or 24''.
Should i go with an e8400, new motherboard, another 8800GT, and power supply? This will cost me around $500 if im lucky.. is it worth it?
A while back i changed some network settings so i could game with two computers online. I forget the exact changes, but now i plug my modem ethernet into one of the 4 blue slots instead of the 1 green one. It doesn't show up as "online" on the modem, but i can connect to the internet with it...
Talking to one of my friends about A+ certification, and he mentioned that no employers care about it anymore..
I'm just wondering if i should follow through on getting certified, seeing as how much it costs($200+ for books and the test itself), and the studying hours..
And i wanted to clear it with the experts first...
Here's my case..
