Oracle has a lot of training and certificate programs, which I have heard are very good. The big is the price, as with any of these certifications. Deciding on which certification to go for really depends on what areas you're interested in and what current employers are looking for. For...

Hello liamr, The amount of RAM you have should be plenty for whatever type of gaming you're into. Your graphics card seems like it too should be able to do a decent job and handling games. Your processor isn't bad, but there certainly are better ones out there. The problem is that processor...

Hello alk91, Assuming you're asking how to connect your Windows XP machine to your wireless network, you'll need to enable the wireless network adapter on your computer (given your computer has a wireless adapter). To do so, go to your Control Panel --> Network Connections --> Adapters -->...

Hello discolady, Signal strength is not affected by the amount of devices connected. Other interference, such as distance, walls, floors, other wireless networks, etc... will interfere with your wireless signal throughout your house. I do know the Linksys E1200 is the bottom model in that the...

That works, I was able to take a look at the subwoofer using that model number. Everything I've said holds true for your setup. Your subwoofer is NOT self-powered, meaning you need to connect it using a speaker-level connection. In other words, you either need an amplifier to power it or run...

Hello Bane07, I'm a huge advocate for furthering your education, regardless of your current occupation/degree. One thing we figure out as we get older is what we really want to do in life. Like you've mentioned, you're not really happy with what you're doing and looking for some positive...

Another item running against you is the face-to-face interaction when seeking employment. Please don't take offense, but in the online job market you're just a 17 year old kid with no background/experience. Over time, as you become more educated and build experience, the online job market...

This is an example of an amplifier that would drive your subwoofer: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rotel-RB-951-2-Channel-Power-Amplifier-Amp-/171118652648?pt=US_Home_Audio_Amplifiers_Preamps&hash=item27d7776ce8 Looking at the back connections, you have RCA input connections to connect to your pre-out...

Hello amos2323, I'm assuming you have your PC connected to your TV via HDMI? If so, you're probably getting sound from the PC to your TV just fine through the HDMI connection. It could be that your PC is setup to send audio through the HDMI connection only. In this case, you'll have to play...

Your new Pioneer receiver has a subwoofer pre-out connection, which is a line level connection for self-powered subwoofers. If your subwoofer is not self-powered then it must draw its power from an amplifier. You can, like you said, connect the subwoofer to your front speaker connections. Or...

Good thinking. I didn't think about tape out. Does your Klipsch have crossover settings so you can select your frequency response range? Just wondering since your tape out connection is going to send all frequencies to the sub.

Hello bsoa, I'm a big fan of the Dell Inspiron 17. In fact, that's that I'm currently using to type this response. I've had my Dell for almost 2 years and (knock on wood) haven't had a single issue with this machine and I bought it refurbished. The one you've found on Costco will certainly...

I've had great luck with Audacity when opening mp4's to extract audio. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ I know that doesn't help your Audition 1.5 issue, but an alternative if anything. Cheers!

Yes, your subwoofer has a built in amplifier meaning it's self-powered. What make and model is your old A/V receiver? If we have that information we can do a little research to confirm whether or not you have a subwoofer pre-out connection. If not, then americanaudiophile is correct, you will...
