I hope it's going to be full 5.1 or 7.1. The original Aureal 3D is nice, but every Aureal 3D sound card I knew is 4.0 (quadraphonic), which makes it difficult to connect the card to modern receiver.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but unlike sound font, FM has no "present bank", doesn't it? You're free to create your own waveform, enabling impressive music aka that of Dune of Laser Squad, am I correct?

Does watch count? Again, not collecting, merely using. In fact, just like my parents, I only have one watch and never change it. But mine counts as retro, doesn't it?

There is no pain, both drivers coexist perfectly fine. Well, maybe AMD drivers can show some minor issues from time to time - one example from my experience. I was using R9 290 until recently and then upgraded to GTX 1070... so I've installed nvidia drivers and left old AMD drivers in place. No …

Thanks! :) They're JBL L20T's, driven by Sansui A-40. Sansui's warm, tube-like sound helps taming the JBL's titanium dome tweeter, which would otherwise sound very sharp and unforgiving. It's my secondary system in my garage. My primary system is still down because many components need to be …

You said Intel is better, followed by "Intel is more expensive". After which I pointed out a few Intel CPUs that are cheaper than any Ryzen, yet are still faster in gaming. You are in denial about that, because after I made that post, you still said: "(3) as for my gaming activities, I'm glad AMD …

Two pci-e GPUs should be no problem, even AGP + PCI works at the same time (if you have board that support it). Doesn't matter which driver you install first, both should work simultaneously at the end. If your game can switch what GPU to use, then no restart is needed, simply select the one you …

Are you seriously suggesting we, as buyer , should ignore the price? No. This is not about buying (read my entire post please), and I don't usually give buyer's advice anyway. Sure, Intel CPU's are cool, but AMD CPU's are cheaper. So I'd rather buy AMD CPU and then add the extra money to my GPU …

Isn't TDP Thermal Design Power? To my understanding, it's the power that the cooler is supposed to dissipate, not the power of the CPU. It would be interesting to see if this 95W TDP processor is capable of sustaining full load for extended periods of time (let's say 24 or 48 hours) having only 95W …
