Yea... Gerwin if you ever get a SB Pro 2.0 please let us know what you think and rate it against the other cards you have been using!

no sound option? Hmm someone should run this on a modern Phenom II or i5 @ 133 FSB 🤣

In that case you should seriously get into coding mobile phone apps. You never know, you could make the next "angry birds".

Yes, there are alternatives, but most of them require a bit of technical knowledge that keep them out of reach of the computer newbies. IMO it's good this way. I'm in this industry and as harsh as it sounds, if someone stuffs up their computer they should see a professional and pay some money. …

Modern building materials provide strength and structural integrity even when very thin, but their insulation properties suck. So true. Over here the mostly built CHEAP. The size of the bricks here is almost a joke. Let's worry about cooling and heating later and throw more money at it LOL There …

That market has really shifted to mobile phones / apps. But for the desktop? This has been replaced with flash based games IMO.

W7 allows you to burn a "System Repair Disc". It gives you the same menu as when you press F8 > repair. It's not perfect, but it's a start. For viruses you can also use a Linux Live CD or something like that. With Bart PE you can make a XP live CD, but it's a bit of effort.

Having a very big house isn't a prerequisite- you need a part of it which is absolutely off-limits to her. Otherwise.... :blah: The trick is to make it uninteresting or slightly uncomfortable for her to spend any length of time there so that you don't have to see the 12 wallpaper samples again or …

How would one get the necessary (sun)light exposure when living underground? Mostly referring to Australia and other AC countries / states like Texas or California LOL Although during cold winters, it's also warmer underground. But not nearly as practical I would think. In hot summers however you …

The thing with solar is that it's quite inefficient. And there are materials that you need to make these cells that aren't as readily available to mass roll them out. Solar is more about making $$$$ for the solar industry than anything else. To save AC costs, we could simply build into the ground. …

I used to have a friend in school whose parents would turn off the main breaker before they left the house every morning and their power bills were next to nothing every month.

CT1600 SBPro 2.0 : poor digital audio I actually have to disagree with that. In fact the Sound Blaster Pro 2.0 is one of the few (if not only) cards that allow you to enable or disable the output filter (low pass) of the digital audio section. I have documented most of this in past post. Struggling …

Hehe this is right up my alley. I had the PSOne and Tomb Raider was THE game to have. Once the 3DFX Voodoo came out, you could patch your Tomb Raider game and BAM the game was stunningly beautiful. It was truly the dawn of a new era for me and I have been a Tomb Raider fan every since. I thoroughly …

In my Slot 1 board (same chipset) I used a Geforce 4 MX 440 card without any issues. According to the POST Geforce BIOS it's a AGP 8x card. That POST does sound odd though. Especially that it shuts down by itself. Make sure there are no shorts between the case and mainboard and that the PSU is ok.

Wow Steam seems to bring out some emotions LOL I only had a support issue once (credit card related) and that was fixed quickly. Whenever I have an issue or a question I actually just use the Steam game forum. Lots of switched on people there and I usually find the answer in a previous post or FAQ. …

I saw your reply. But often people come here and would like to further "check out" some of the sound cards 🤣 So nice high resolution pictures are always welcomed so we can look for minute differences and things like that.

Hmm yea if things don't work with online companies, it can be a bit of a runaround. Although I have always known about Steam I really only "discovered" it in Xmas 2009 during one of their xmas sales. I can remember that I checked retailer after retailer for cheap PC games. They had nothing. Just the …
