    Pls advise me a good sound card for my Electric Guitar

    Just for one guitar? Anything such as Tascam US-1200, Roland Duo Capture, etc.. I'm using an EMU 0404 USB, but waiting for the tascam us-16x08 to be released.

    Getting 5.1 sound from 750 TI HDMI Output. NO options in Realtek settings (Screenshots included)

    Hey guys, so I built a new rig for the living room. It's a G3258 with an ASROCK Anniversary Z97m board. Also have an Asus 750 TI OC in there. I have HDMI to TV. From TV I would be going to the receiver (Receiver has no HDMI.. It does have optical) I have installed the Realtek drivers, AND I...

    Patriot ram says Only Compatible with 2nd Generation Intel (2000 series). True?? For Foxconn D70s-p

    Thanks man, appreciated! I know it was a used motherboard, not surei f a 'broken' motherboard would just run slow.. Seems odd.

    Patriot ram says Only Compatible with 2nd Generation Intel (2000 series). True?? For Foxconn D70s-p

    That's a good question.. I know i have Secure Boot disabled (not sure if that is related?). I think my only other option was when using the boot menu to actually boot from the media, I had DVD-ROM, or UEFI DVD-ROM (I picked just DVD-ROM, as i thought UEFI was only windows 8 related?.. I'm...

    Patriot ram says Only Compatible with 2nd Generation Intel (2000 series). True?? For Foxconn D70s-p

    Thanks for the reply! I'm skeptical of this motherboard/chip since with 1gb ram, it won't even run Linux Mint, but if I could pick this 8gb up for $40, I'm debating if I should (It's overkill, but I can't seem to find anything much cheaper than that.. I guess I could buy brand new 4gb for...

    Patriot ram says Only Compatible with 2nd Generation Intel (2000 series). True?? For Foxconn D70s-p

    Recently picked up a Foxconn D70s-P ( http://www.foxconnchannel.com/ProductDetail.aspx?T=motherboard&U=en-us0000604 ) , and it's performance is lacklaster (The guy through in 1gb of ram.. It will not even run Linux.. It literally takes a few minutes to open a window). I'm wondering if it' the...

    Affordable MOBO for G3258 build (Htpc / Gaming). PCI dilemma? Dual Vid card size?

    Thanks for the reply man! Unfortunately, we are on a VERY strict budget (new apartment, realized that we now do not have anything for entertainment on the main floor.. Can't afford cable! haha) So first off, I don't need the old legacy PCI slot then I imagine, if I'm not putting any card in...

    Affordable MOBO for G3258 build (Htpc / Gaming). PCI dilemma? Dual Vid card size?

    Hey guys, I have not built a system in quite some time, so I have some questions (and am on an extreme budget), and only yesterday discovered the overclocking ability of the G3258, so I figured maybe I will try that? (Current computer is an A10-5500 but that is mainly for recording). I will be...

    Confused about Eyefinity. My Geforce 9500GT ran 3 monitors?

    So I was hoping this HD 7350 that came with my Acer a8 5500 would be able to run 3 monitors (I have 2 here on the desk, and i run a third to the TV in case i feel like watching something there), but with Eyefinity there is this whole displayport issue (which I don't own). Which makes me...

    Will a Radeon HD 7350 work with AMD A8-5500 for "dual graphics"

    I meant to ask, for my own clarification.. So this 7350 does NOT double up the video on this computer.? WOuldn't it have made more sense for them to include one that DOES crossfire with the APU??

    Will a Radeon HD 7350 work with AMD A8-5500 for "dual graphics"

    Thanks for the reply! I'm still mildly confused though. I understand the apu will use system memory, but the 7560 is substantially faster than the 7350 though no? So would it even be worth it to keep the 7350? Actually, it is a prebuilt, and now that i think about it, there are two ports...

    Will a Radeon HD 7350 work with AMD A8-5500 for "dual graphics"

    Or whatever they call their funny crossfire setup. I believe the A8-5500 has an integrated 7560? And this computer comes with a discreet 7350.. But I can't find any information anywhere that says this combination turns it into a 'crossfire' type setup. If not, why would they include this...

    "New" build.. Should I upgrade from E7200 to AMD A8 5500?

    Thanks for the reply! The reason I'm hellbent on using this (Well, debating, rather, not hellbent) is because I have it sitting here.. So I was going to swap the mobo and cpu into my current (large) case so I can still have better cooling and 2 hard drives (the case it's currently in has no...

    "New" build.. Should I upgrade from E7200 to AMD A8 5500?

    Hey guys, I've searched and searched, and I finally give up! So, a question for you guys. Currently I have an Asus P5QL Pro with an E7200 (with 4gig ram, and geforce 9500, but inconsequential for this question I think). I'm going to do a format and reinstall to clean it up a little and to do...
