    Do you use a sound card?

    I'm really curious as to how you got this,could you link me to it? I also wonder if this can control a discrete Asus Xonar card?

    Help me choose a soundcard please

    I do play games,though ones that don't use EAX. I'm not sure about ones such as BF3. I'd like to have a well rounded card,the headphone amp sounds nice,although probably not needed for a set of 38ohm cans. I am picky about hardware,and concerned about jumping on a $120 soundcard that without...

    Help me choose a soundcard please

    I'm thinking of getting the Xonar DX,would it be enough to power ATH-M50's? Or should I spend more and get the Soundblaster Z? Does the Z sound clearer,warmer, or bassier than a Xonar? Is the EQ any better than the Xonar cards?

    Looking for good sub $100 in ear headphones?

    I decided to grab the S4's,they are the best in ear headphones I've ever listened to,but the downside is the small double flange or the medium ear silicone tips don't fit my ears,and the large size doesn't seem to fit quite right either.

    Looking for good sub $100 in ear headphones?

    All I have ever bought were cheap $20-30 headphones,I finally want a decent pair. I don't know much about in ear/earbuds but have heard a lot of good things about the Klipsch S4,but also recently seen the new Sony XBA1's. Which of the two would be better? If you can't recommend either please...

    Advice on new gaming mouse?

    Two recommendations for a Razer and two for a Gigabyte M8000X? The M8000X looks large,my Sidewinder is a large mouse,but it isn't ergonomic enough with the way I hold a mouse (some weird in between a palm and claw grip.) Have you ever had a problem with your Deathadder? While reading reviews...

    Advice on new gaming mouse?

    I currently have a MS Sidewinder X8,which has always been uncomfortable for me to hold,sometimes the left click doesn't register, the charger built into the wireless thing quit working,and the scroll wheel when from normal to no "click" when scrolling (can get annoying in FPS games). I looked at...

    Intel offering downloadable hardware upgrades for low end chips.

    Yeah,because Intel working under the table with OEM's & forcing competition of of the market is just fine. :rolleyes:

    FX-Series Processors Clock Speeds 'Revealed'

    You do have a point there,even if BD kicks SB ass,Intel will still outsell them because they have their ways of squeezing AMD out of the market. However i've been told if AMD ever went under,there would be several lawsuits(though I think Intel would just pay them off) and the FTC splitting up...

    Llano officially for sale on tigerdirect

    However Newegg doesn't have any Llano laptops worth buying right now IMO. Bestbuy (yeah I know bestbuy otherwise sucks) has a HP DV6 A8 quad core Llano laptop with dual graphics and a bluray drive.

    AMD Bulldozer Eng. Sample leaked, benched

    Since the Northbridge is the CPU,there isn't alot to be changed. But I'm sure there are optimizations for BD in the 990FX chipset,990FX also has SLI support.
