Oh, its nice to see i'm not the only one, and that I don't have to plunk down a few hundred for a new faster Hard drive. But I guess it's bad this problems exists to begin with. Glad that valve is already addressing this problem so soon though.

Hello, I just installed HL2 on my acer aspire 2025, using the newer Omega drivers, 2590 I think. When I play, from time to time (pretty inconsistant), the game will lag and the sound will skip or loop a little, then the game will continue on. Any idea what could be causing this? Is it loading...

Ah, alright. Thanks for the help everyone.

Isn't SATA enabled by default? Thats what the manual says...

There were none that I could find, only SATARaid. But I did get the drivers from windows update. Update since last post: - installed the drive and it is seen in windows explorer (had to enable with administrative tools) - removed the 17GB HD - reinstalled windows Is there anyway of using a...

Hi, I just got a 160gig Maxtor SATA hard drive and I tried to install it but I have some problems. First off, some important information. OS: Windows 2000 Motherboard: asus a7n8x-e deluxe Other hard drives: one 17GB (probably going to remove, but I need to transfer the stuff off first) and...

Hi, Well, recently my video card burnt out on me. So I decided to get a new one. The problem is, theres no way I can boot up and uninstall my old drivers (Geforce DDR) before I install my new video card (most likely an ATi 9800 pro). Are there any things I should do before I try to install...

I plug them in to the speaker frount out. None of the soundcards i've had ever had a headphone out that I was aware of. Well, make that $150USD then. I'm not too much in to critical listening, so perfect reproduction isn't necessary, it's just the noise when theres no sound that really...

About $150CDN, before taxes.

Codesmith: Thanks for the response. I also use a pretty decent pair of headphones for some gaming, but mostly listening to music. I use to use the Live! value, but it still had a lot of white noise, even after muting all the things in the sound options. HammerBot: Yeah, i've noticed that. My...

Hello, i'm new here, so please forgive the lack of know-it. Right now, i'm using the built in sound on my a7n8x-e deluxe, but when I use my ear buds or headphones, there is a lot of white noise as well as general computer operation noise (like, hard drive spinning up). I've already muted...
