Oh btw, I must caution people that I am not too sure about Linux support of the card. The card works great under Windows but my Ubuntu 10.04 did not detect the card at all. I have not tried searching for other drivers however. The Xonar DG is supported in Linux as long as you have either ALSA versi...
Yup. I have the Xonar Essence ST which uses the CMI 8788 chip, while the Xonar DG uses the CMI 8786 chip, but aside from small differences such as sampling rate and the featured jacks on the back plate, the sound quality should be pretty much identical. Yes, the Xonar cards are definitely worth the ...
The stock Heatsink/fan that came with my Phenom 2 X4 965 Black Edition sounds like a hairdryer when it heats up. I tried to use my aftermarket HSF that I already had on hand. Unfortunately, it wouldn't fit due to the heatsink on the mobo chipset being in the way of the lever that locks down the HSF ...
If you notice my signature at the bottom of every one of my posts, it has a few lines from, "The Bard's Song" which is sung by german power metal band "Blind Guardian". I had never heard of Blind Guardian until I bought the PC game Sacred 2 Fallen Angel, in which they have a came...
I was getting used to the balls, now they've changed it to a greying-out as you type logo. I'm getting whiplash. I shall use google search no more. It is aggravating my obsessive compulsive disorder. It's a conspiracy. Everybody put on your aluminum-foil hats and run!!!
A good thing to do is to do the main quest first as quickly as possible. Try to avoid leveling up too much while playing the main quest, as the enemies get stronger with you as you level up, and can result in making the game very difficult to finish as they will kill the good NPC's during some of th...
I apparently read this post and just learned about bitter canned air. Well, needless to say I just now sprayed some on my hand and tasted it. I should have taken your warning more seriously. Blech!!!
Being one of the cores on a quad core is like having a government job. You'll be there and you'll cost money, but there's a 50/50 chance you'll never do any real work.
I can picture it now. Steve Jobs unveils the new iThingamajig. Featuring an MP3 Player, Cell Phone, Butane Lighter, Pocket Knife, Pocket-Reference Handbook, Wallet, RFID-blocking Passport and Credit Card Holder, and Pill Dispenser, for all the Manic-Depressive followers in the Apple cult.
I do not do any of my own music production, however, since I am into everything Linux, I would love to tinker with music production using several DJing and composing apps available in the open-source community. I do have a passion for music, running an ASUS Xonar Essence ST sound card sending output...
If your using Windows, turn off unneccesary services like SuperFetch. SuperFetch doesn't use much extra power, but every little bit helps. Also snoop around in your network adapter settings and see if there is a power saving feature. It should be turned on by default, but it doesn't hurt to double-c...
You are good with either Chevy, Ford, or Dodge, as they are all comparable in reliability, that is in the year 2000 models and up at least. If you are looking for a nice smooth ride similar to a Cadillac or Grand Marquis, anything with a half-ton axle is going to give you that nice, smooth, quiet ri...
I second upgrading the size of your fans as well as an aftermarket heatsink. I use the ASUS Triton heatsink myself, as it has medium-sized fans on each side of the heatsink. However, I think any aftermarket heatsink that is big with big fan(s) will quiet your pc down quite a bit as well as cool it b...
Ok, I have had nothing but some minor but annoying issues in Linux with every ATI card I have owned. And from seeing people using NVIDIA cards in Linux they seem to run flawlessly. Every one of my ATI cards has had little or no video acceleration, and VSYNC not working in Compiz at all. Can anybody ...
I believe I can be of some help. Unicomp makes a non-clicky version of their Model M clone. I assume they use the same process to make the lettering on the non-clicky keyboard that the clicky keyboard is made from. http://pckeyboards.stores.yahoo.net/customizer.html Just remember to select "Enh...
I don't know if anyone touched on the sound card, but I really don't like integrated audio. Now that I own a decent add-on audio card, I can't go back to onboard integrated audio. I have an ASUS Xonar Essence ST, which does dolby digital, dts-passthrough, on-the-fly dolby digital encoding for 3d gam...
I am not vegetarian, however, I did walk into a restaurant one time in Boise here in Idaho and was a little puzzled by the menu. I decided to order a banana shake, and it was actually the best shake I ever had. They put a real banana in it. I soon discovered it was a vegetarian restaurant, and the t...
I had been shopping for a replacement keyboard as every keyboard I have owned eventually wears out after a few years. I recently got an IBM Model M clone clicky keyboard from Unicomp. Lovin it! Anyway, I don't know how to make a poll, as I am terrible to HTML code, but I guess I'll ask, what is ever...
Hot diggity dang, sorry to get off topic and say things about space, time and such, but all the stuff I said was what I was taught. Then again, I know I am probably wrong. Then again, who knows if we are right about things? Science back in the 1800's beleived if a person traveled faster than 20-some...
I didn't think of time as being a dimension. I do know that information is the fourth dimension. And the fourth dimension from what I am aware of takes up minimal space and has no weight. Take for example, a hard drive. It becomes magnetically charged with bits to store information, but the weight o...
Here is something to blow your mind. As an object moves faster, time slows down. Say a jet flies around the world carrying an atomic clock. And another atomic clock sits on the ground. The atomic clock on the jet will behind a few milliseconds from the one sitting on the ground. (hope I didn't get t...
Well, I got my new mobo and processor and installed them. I'm a little confused about the RAID on this motherboard though. The mobo is a Gigabyte GA-880GA-UD3H Rev 2.0 and I didn't need to load any drivers for the RAID when installing Windows 7. Somewhere in the BIOS it mentioned something about OnB...
Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I've found a solution that works for me. In the Catalyst Control Center, in video options, turn of "Ensure Smooth Playback". Having smooth playback enabled in CCC was causing Flash Video AND WMV video in WMP to play back roughly. I have a Radeon HD 4770.
