... I am using a Technics Amp , not too much in the manual though <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_frown.gif">

I am using my onboard sound , AC 97. If I connect the amp to the PC it is detected as a 2 speaker system. If I change it to 5.1 all the speakers make the same sound ie. not souround sound. I think I´ll try connect using the vcr method though <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_wink.gif">

I want to know if anybody knows how to connect a 5.1 hi-fi amp to a pc , while fully enabling surround sound? I have connected an amp using only 2 speakers , the satellite speakers just make a terrible noise instead of working as surround sound. <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_frown.gif&quo...

That worked , actually <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_lol.gif">

I don´t like A Open drives anymore. I just got another A Open CD Rom (it´s under warranty) this is my third A open drive that had to be replaced in just over 1 year. <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_frown.gif">

well forget 3d mark . I sorta just wanted to show of to my P4 and Nvidia friends. Though they don´t even know what 3d mark is! <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_mad.gif">

Yes , I have certainly got a 8500 and have DX 9 installed <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_confused.gif">

Got it working!
<BR>Thanks <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_wink.gif">

Hmm , probably connects via game/midi port.
<BR>My Saitek R100 doesn´t work either , however someone on this forum (i dunno who) also mentioned he had a gameport wheel on XP but it worked <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_confused.gif">

Hmm? You use your PC for stuff like Maya and 3dMax. Programs like that require high performance cards like the 9700...oops <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_eek.gif">

The Barton (3000+) is a 32 bit Socket A processor. It will work with many Socket A Athlon boards , but it is not the 64 bit Hammer chip.

Shooting down fighters in IL2 is also tough , but satisfying.

Tomb Raiders. They are definitely the hardest SP games I have played. It only gets easier when you use cheats and nude ...agh never mind <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif">

NOLF 2 is darn funny ,
<BR>but the funniest games I´ve played so far is undoubtly the Monkey Island Series <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif">

Another question about internet sharing. If both PC´s sre online does it slow down your connection speed? <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_confused.gif">

I´m running on a 2000+ PC and 128MB DDR Radedon 8500 , the first test ran smoothly with me getting up to 200 fps at times! But , the 2nd test just got stuck <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif"> <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_frown.gif">

I´m gonna be there. This is going to be the best , I´m looking forward to it! <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_wink.gif"> <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif">

What do you think of smaller PC case. I prefer towering towers but they tend to be harder to take to LAN´s.

Has anyone played the Mafia racing stage?
<BR>It is pretty tough but I finished easily with my Wingman gamepad. Apparently the v1.1 patch for Mafia decreases the difficulty of the stage.
<BR>No use now though. <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif">

I´ve heard Hercules are making a card using the new 9800 chip. (3d prophet). <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_confused.gif">

Creating a network with Windows XP is a breeze. Just insert your Win XP disc into your computer and select the option from the menu which sez create a home or small network. <BR>Follow the instructions , insert the discs into the 98 comp and you´re done. <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_bigg...
