    Sounds Cards and Headphones

    Well, me having a very large harddrive, I have no issues with saving music at its highest quality. Anyway, to the point. I just listened to a beautiful opera, composed by a magnificent new composer. I was absolutely horrified by the grotesque sound being produced. It's supposed to sound like...

    Sounds Cards and Headphones

    I've heard of Sennheiser being a good brand for headphones. As far as brand goes, as long as it is a quality one. I am glad you have made input, but I'm looking for specific solutions. Like, actual links to the products people recommend. No offense to you, of course! Don't think of me as...

    The Strangest Thing You'll Ever Hear....

    Sorry I didn't mean to seem ungrateful, I was off doing other things in the meantime... like work. =P Thank you very much for your insight. I'll look for another drive, this thing has given me trouble in other areas as well.

    The Strangest Thing You'll Ever Hear....

    I'm not computer illiterate by any means... but this is just strange. Alright, then. It's either my drive, my discs, or my own stupidity in burning the discs correctly (Roxio said that the content I was about to burn was bootable, and I even followed their official tutorial). The drive does...

    The Strangest Thing You'll Ever Hear....

    I recently built a new system, and I used a CDDVDW drive, a Samsung SH-S202G, from a past build. The specs of the rest of my system are as follows: - Intel 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo E4600 Allendale at stock speed - ASUS P5KPL-CM motherboard - RAM: Wintec Ampx, DDR2 800mhz; 2 sticks of 1gb. - GPU...

    Ports

    Thank you for the response. You've cleared some things up. I already have my DynDNS set up. I'll have to manually change my specified IP address for that URL every time it changes, correct? I know my internal addresses well. It's actually quite odd, everyone seems to have a "1" after 168...

    Ports

    I'm looking to set up an HTTP server in my home. I'm only operating a single webpage, the rest of the bandwidth will be devoted to other hosting things. Problem is, when I use port scanners to check for open ports that I can use, they all time out. I already know that my ISP is blocking my...

    VGA to DVI Adapter/Remote Installation

    Blasted. My cord is digital only, now having just read the cord itself... =P I suppose now I need a VGA to DVI-I cord? Perhaps this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812120060

    VGA to DVI Adapter/Remote Installation

    I really appreciate the help! So a simple adapter would not function for this purpose? My LCD will work with analog signals. It's just going from a new model Asus motherboard with onboard video straight to my LCD. And, like I said, my monitor supports analog signals.

    VGA to DVI Adapter/Remote Installation

    Thank you. But like I said, I need a female DVI-Male VGA. The opposite of that one. I am left with two choices. Attempt to install Serv03 to a hard drive, and put it in the server, or install it to its own hard drive after purchasing an adapter that *hopefully* works. I'm apting for the...

    VGA to DVI Adapter/Remote Installation

    Except I need the reverse. =P Thanks for the link. I need a female DVI plug and male VGA plug. I've found things that will fit such a connection, but their reviews are so incredibly mixed that I have no idea if it will even work...

    VGA to DVI Adapter/Remote Installation

    I was looking to spend about twelve bucks max . Is it possible to install Server 03 onto a hard disk and then boot it in the new system, at which point I would set up remote desktop? Picture quality doesn't matter to me, really. I'm just running the new machine as a server. It won't even...

    VGA to DVI Adapter/Remote Installation

    Hey folks! I'd like to know if there is a simple adapter out there that allows me to use a DVI monitor on a VGA graphics card (integrated video). The adapter must be female for the DVI and male for the VGA. Here's the configuration I'm talking about: VGA Motherboard video output > possible...

    Motherboard+CPU FSB Compatibility Question

    Thank you much for all of your support. I know this isn't CPU related, but it's another question I need some opinions on. That, and this is the most active forum on this board. What operating system is recommended for the running of a MySQL database and apache, and handle many clients? I am...
