    (NEW) What OS do you use currently?

    Are you able to find drivers ok that will work on the 64bit XP? I could never connect online with any 64bit OS or even any Linux distro until changing ISPs and the connection type from phone to usb adapter/dsl and got into cable with ethernet. Now everything connects! Unfortunately that late...

    (NEW) What OS do you use currently?

    If you are running Windows 7 Pro or Ultimate editions you can simply download the XP Mode which is XP Pro on a VM. No fuss about setting up a dual boot. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx If you are running the W7 Home Premium then you would use the VMLite Workstation...

    Help with a video card upgrade??

    Welcome to CF! Bjgrenke Typically I would prefer the Sapphire over the XFX card for the two ATI cards seen listed. But recently when a friend updated his older ATI 9800 All in Wonder 512mb card with a Sapphire 3650 model the fan on the sink fell off! Ouch! Until he gets around to replacing...

    New USB sound card makes headphones way too loud!

    That may help?! I've never used that or any other similar program for this type of application. It was listed for all Windows while...? no guarantees! The alternative option you have left and might have to consider eventually would be replacing the present usb sound card you have now if...

    New USB sound card makes headphones way too loud!

    I just ran into a small freeware download call Sound Control 2.15 over at tucows that might work? http://www.tucows.com/preview/224552 But in case you do change your mind about adding in a separate volume control.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYaT3Q7gwQc the bases will be covered. :D

    New USB sound card makes headphones way too loud!

    That's why places like Radio Shack stay in business! They keep selling the parts to people experimenting with things! ;):D As far as a potentiometer that actually changes the resistance from one value upto another depending on the range. This also effects the current which then effects the...

    New USB sound card makes headphones way too loud!

    Then you need to know what one would work. You can't simply toss just any potentiometer at it. Some would oversensitive while others could be turned or trimmed all the way and simply do nothing. The first things there to look at however are the Turtle Beach application to see if that or any...

    New USB sound card makes headphones way too loud!

    With any set of headphones besides those used for online chat or something like messenger or Skype look for those with a volume control. Without one present the software's own mixer is the alternate if you have a volume control panel similar to what is seen with Creative brand sound cards. Look...

    ATI Video card

    I would be making a few changes on the list there for a new build. I'm already running the 6000+ X2 3.14ghz model and will be looking at a Phenom II X4 soon enough for an AMD modell USB 3.0 supported board. The new usb standard would be one thing to consider for a new build right off. As far as...

    Need help deciding between ...

    I've been using WD drives for ages now and not one complaint except for the Green Power models. Great for storage but nothing you want for an OS drive. I found that out when pulling one out of an external usb casing and using it to run the 7 beta on later an RC. Several regular programs...

    ATI Video card

    Welcome to CF! BenMinor When looking at ATI.AMD I don't even come up with a 4650 but see a 4550 listed instead for different brands of cards at their support site. You can't expect full performance out of either of the new HD type cards intended for newer boards then the old Socket A/462 model...
