    Yeah sure it is I didnt know that :) Its just that I put all the equipment away but hey im gonna try this out tomorrow then, but still it doesn't explain why motherboard wont put out any beeps even when there is no memory installed on boot.

    P5B Deluxe - Is this the BIOS version?

    Since my new system can't post (P5B Deluxe + C2D E6600) I think that the BIOS version might be older than 0604 since thats supposedly the earliest version that makes Core 2 Duo CPUs got compatible with the board. Only thing I see BIOS related on the mobo is this sticker placed on the PS/2...

    List the games you finished

    Edit: I'm amazed to see how many (really) hardcore gamers doesn't keep record of the games they've finished. I know it's kinda geeky but it's still pretty nice having a list telling your history of gaming. :) By finished I mean when you have completed the main plot in the game. Also add info...

    Best "First-person Shooter" game to Date?

    If you mean at the time that the game was created I have to go with Half-life. I thought it was the most immersive and incredible singleplayer experience that beat everything else even for several years to come. Even now we have games with alot better graphics and more advanced gameplay, sure...

    Would getting the X-Fi benefit me?!

    If i was you i'd stay with that TBSC until the drivers are no longer supported, or you simply need something in another card.

    not the same old WMA -> MP3 thread i swear

    128kbit is good, 192 is just notibly better and the best tradeoff. You wont hear difference with stuff higher than 192. There is also 160 kbit wich should be enough for on-the-go listening anyways. It's very easy to tell the difference of 128kbit and less. It is much more difficult to tell...

    Help with onboard.

    Set auto, then take a look in device manager in windows and see if you can find it. Most likely as an "?!" device

    Gilmore Lite vs X-Fi Plat.

    about the a900s off the top of my mind... pros: soundstage very non-fatigue "warm" sound ear warming at winter comfy as hell (quite lightweight too) closedback, will keep out quite some comp noise singlesided cord cons: earwax :D after long sessions ear HEAT at summer too...

    Sound Blaster Live model ct4760?

    it's funny how everybody thought Live! was the shit back in those days, and now think of it as garbage. Sometimes you wonder if all people think about is how OLD the hardware is, and not really creding how its performing. Your worst concern is driver support. Your least concern would be the...

    WOOHOO finaly bought a hd 595!

    i know the deal. My a900s is sounding a tiny bit too pretty / neat, i'd like a more powerful/raw sound signature, thinking deep bass without distortion. Maybe it's the beyers, i think they come closest but i don't know. I remember when i had the hd497, i was hooking them up to my onboard CMI...

    X-Fi + Game Mode = LQ sound?

    judging by your description "highs seem to be lacking" it probably go down to 22000 Hz or maybe lower, wich should give slightly better performance.. I remember you could do that in older games.. now it just sucks since the performance hit is so small on modern computers. See if you can find...

    X-FI: Headphone surround emulation..

    Can somebody confirm this works in games like cstrike 1.6 without support for 5.1 speaker mode?
  38. H

    X-FI: Headphone surround emulation..

    Does this only work in certain games? is it something you choose like EAX or is it like a mode that works with whatever you do on the comp?

    a900s just arrived at my desk

    yea i guess the warm sound + great soundstage is the signature for those cans.. they are great for gaming and jazz/house music. It's 'relaxing at home' cans
