    Half-Life 2: Episode 1

    Finished it in under 3 hours as well. My opinion. No huge disappointment, but not huge improvement. Understanding that its an add on, I wasn't expecting a new game, but I was however expecting at least a new weapon or enemy class. The story is pretty week if you ask me. Escape and thats it. No...

    IE7 Beta 2 and Wells Fargo Online

    Could find any settings that allowed me to get passed this error. In the end I had to use Firefox, even though I sometimes have problems with it and redirects in Wells Fargo online.

    A few questions about Creative X-Fi

    Not that. See how the coax connection is female. Every coax connection I have seen on devices has been female, so your cable would need to be male. I have no idea what that red thing is, but its not needed. This is what one needs. http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/RCA-mini-spdif.html It does...

    A few questions about Creative X-Fi

    Yes. Please remain on topic. The poster wanted help with configuring his 5500s with his X-Fi. Being that I have 5500s, I offered my advice on sound setup. Being that you have an X-Fi, stop arguing about remotes and give the guy some advice.

    A few questions about Creative X-Fi

    Cables are not digital. Cables are cables. The cable you linked to has a 2 channel 3.5mm jack which wouldn't fit up correctly on your digital I/O port. Take a look at the jack I linked to and you will see that its 1 channel.

    A few questions about Creative X-Fi

    Terra, I think you may be thinking of this. A digital coax input does not have slots for 2 RCA connections. I'm glad you have more options, but I simply don't have $350 to drop on a sound card. My movies sound exactly the same as yours, so no reason to spend the cash. I'm glad your able to...

    A few questions about Creative X-Fi

    The stats you posted that were so BAD ASS were for the X-Fi Elite Pro, NOT the Audigy 2. This thread however is for a X-Fi, neither the X-Fi Elite Pro or the Audigy 2. You have got to be kidding me. Right here and now I realize you don't know a bit about digital audio. You have fun when you...

    There sure are, but the THX cert on my speakers and your sound card are the same.

    A few questions about Creative X-Fi

    :rolleyes: 1: This thread is about the X-Fi, not the $350 sound card you are refering to. The stats you posted were for the Elite Pro which features a whole different chip than the X-Fi. Not the same cards. 2: I too had an Audigy 2 with a digital output. Take a look at that...

    A few questions about Creative X-Fi

    Not joking. For me, spending $100 on a sound card that does not include a digital output is pointless. Creative does sound. You think after some 5 odd years of digital media they would have found a way to include a digital output on their PCI cards. Instead they make you run it out the front of...

    A few questions about Creative X-Fi

    Leave it on 6 Ch Direct and let your card do the encoding. The X-Fi is definately better sound quality than Logitech's when using an analog feed. When gaming use 6 Ch Direct as this is the only setting games output. When watching movies, use your X-Fi for Dolby and run it 6 Ch on your speakers...

    5th generation iPod released

    Very tempting. The price of $300 seems pretty reasonable. The video out is also a huge feature as well.

    5th generation iPod released

    QFT = Quit Fucking Talking or Quoted For Truth? I just read a disappointing article saying the Oct 12 release is just an 80GB iPod and does not feature video capabilities. http://thinksecret.com/news/0510oct12b.html

    Is there a way to remove certain forums from the 'New Posts' link?

    vBulletin probably won't listen to you, but thats not because they're dicks, they don't directly support mods like this. Your best bet would be www.vbulletin.org as they are the official mod site for vBulletin. Even if vBulletin did include this new feature in their next release, it probably...

    5th generation iPod released

    You’re wrong. The PSP and the iPod are so vastly different; there is no direct competition between the two. The PSP relies on flash based media for storage which limits you to 2GB maximum, if that. Flash based memory is expensive, especially when its Sony's memory stick crap. Secondly, the iPod...

    5th generation iPod released

    The 60GB iPod Photo is in the mid 400 range, what makes you think the new one won't be in the 500's? The PSP is something totally different compared to the iPod. I would never consider the PSP an alternative to an iPod. You can't even compare the two.

    5th generation iPod released

    Video iPod the 12th? Hopefully the rumors are true. Smaller in size. Bigger screen. More resolution. Sounds good, but the price tag is going to kill it for me. I wouldnt doubt its over $500. Sounds sexy, but probably not worth the money for me just yet. Divx/xvid would be nice. Doubt it...

    Audio Gurus Fix Me Up

    I have a friend who is in search of a receiver. The one he has is slowly dying and a replacement is near. He asked my opinion on what would be a decent system for his money, but in all honesty, I don’t have much experience in the receiver area. His price maximum is $300. Some of his...

    All video is messed up...

    I had this same problem too Kroll. It was Windows Media Player that gave me troubles, but as soon as I upgraded to WMP10, it was fixed. Make sure you have all the media player updates.

    I too get free XP Pro, Office 2003, and Macromedia 2004 line up for free. For MS products, I enter my bear number (college ID) and it gives me a cd key and image download.

    Is godaddy.com the best for domain registration?

    I've had two bad experiences with Network Solutions with domains that my clients had purchased before they hired me. I go with GoDaddy and have no complaints at all. The one thing that does bug me is when registering a new domain, you have to go through about 8 pages of advertisement just to...

    AMD Intel MB/CPU Bundles

    You could so some gaming on it as well, just nothing maxed out. The board is looked down upon by geeks because its has little OC headroom and little bells and whistles, but it would defiantely still game with a decent AGP card.
