Thanks guys. I will go through the suggested and see what happens. EDIT: Ok so I downloaded 3DMark Vantage and ran the GPU test, on high. With xfire I score 19012, and without 12448. Does that sound about right? Also, after updating the drivers my fan settings don't really stick. I like to...

I recently acquired a second 5870 for my pc, so I now have 2 (along with the rest of my pc in my sig). Basically, I've noticed absolutely no gains with the second card. Metro 2033 actually runs worse, all of the crysis series are the same, GTAIV is unplayable now (stuttering), Dirt3, Dirt2...

Do you have lots of fonts of installed? Photoshop doesn't like lots of fonts...

What is my argument? An 1/8inch plug and 1/4inch use the same three conductors in the same setup, just one is big and one is small. It doesn't make sense that it would change the sound quality. XLRs are quite different, they are balanced and require a balanced source and amp. A balanced setup...

What does jack size have to do with headphone quality? It doesn't make a difference afaik. I won't be using it for music anyways, my galaxy s with darky's mod and voodoo + fischer audio DBA-02s is more than enough quality. This is going to be the one "luxury", I guess, purchase I make. I've...

Been a while since I've been here, headphones are more addicting than computer hardware >.< Anyways I'm off to university this September and figured I'd start looking for a notebook now. I'll be bringing my desktop, so I don't need that much power, but I still want it to be snappy and maybe...

Re: COICA, Internet Sensorship, and Demonoid. They don't actually. RIAA Spent $17.6 Million In Lawsuits... To Get $391,000 In Settlements? | Techdirt RIAA spends money to make people scared. The lawsuits are just examples; to make people scared. Look at what they're going to Canada now...

Wait, I've been researching into universities (pretty sure I've decided where to apply), but if Devry is as expensive as a normal university why go? I thought the whole point of them was to be a cheaper and more focused education compared to what you take at your average university.

Never.

I was just about to come in here and recommend everyone should read something by Dale Brown, he's also one of my favourites. He's sort of like Clancy, but faster paced (imo) and with a lot more focus on tech aspects and the planes. I find myself enjoying reading about all of the new stuff he...

Re: what are you listening to now (Possible 56k warning) Tiesto, BT, Armin Van Burren. Trance is my new favourite genre. Except its hard to get any CDs for them here, flac just sounds soo good.

Re: The What You've just Bought thread! The pair of Fischer Audio DBA-02s I ordered 3 weeks ago are supposed to ship sometimes soon! So much for "should ship by late October/Early November".... Also ordered 50 feet of silver plated copper wire from John's Silver Teflon shop on e-bay, along...

I know :( Played a ton of that game. Haven't touched anything in a while though, other than single player black ops. Reach only played a few hours on, xbox never gets used anymore. Though I left my xbox on constantly when I did play, cause it started to take a long time to turn off for some reason.

Fourth for a weekend on the 1v1 elo ladder of Age of Empires 3 vanilla. Then I was lamed 4 times in a row, went on an 8 game loosing streak after that and completely lost my flow. Kinda gave up on normal supremacy games for the rest of time, just played customs with friends and such. EDIT: Now...

I agree with 35g700, World at War played completely different than cod4. Not just the running under the maps or juggernaut+mp40 overpoweredness, the game was slower paced. The maps were much larger so everything was longer range I loved cod4 to death, have over 50 days of play-time total between...
