Add-ons - January 2007

Ok, I just bought the Soundblaster X-Fi extreme music card and I'm trying to find some 5.1 surround speakers that would compliment the card. I like the way the Creative I-Trigue® 5600 look- http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=4&subcategory=25&product=10736 I also like the way the MidiLand MX-5 look- http://www.midiland.com/proddetail.asp?linenumber=72&category=Multichannel I'd like some that just didn't look like boxes, you know? Any reviews on these two speaker systems? What do you think? Which is better?

I downloaded Ubuntu 6.10 to a 700 meg CD without problems. When I insert it, I get a small Ubuntu screen. Then it goes away, and Ubuntu doesn't boot up at all. I'm using Windows XP, with 1 GB Ram, and a 160 GB HDD. Help!

I have a HP Pavilion Slimline s7530n PC. I recently bought a logitech chat headset with a microphone. The earphone plugins are in the front of my computer and in the back but when I plug in both in the correct spots (The Mic and earphones) only my mic works. I have to unplug both from my computer and then put the audio plugin into the front jack to hear anything but the my cord doesn't reach my mic jack. I can't seem to figure it out. I really want to use my headset to chat on MSN Live Messenger.

I bought a wired controller for my Windows XP SP2, but when I go to the installer link, it doesn't appear. Do I need Windows Vista?

I'm thinking about upgrading my video card, but I don't want to get one that isn't compatible with DirectX10, because I will then have to upgrade it again when games that run on DX10 start being released in large quantities. Anyway, if someone could tell me what video cards currently on the market support it, as well as price range and the amount of video RAM (256MB, 512MB, 1GB, etc.), I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

i know that its not DX10 and sm4 and that the 8800GTS is better and the R600 will come out, but will this card still play some of the newest games (bf2, prey, crysis) with 2gb ram and an E6600
and is $299 a good deal for it?
oh btw the card is a Connect3D X1950XTX 512mb crossfire ready
thanx

Preferably one you've used, or at least read good reviews about. Size doesn't matter, as long as it's 80gb or bigger...

Here is what I have;
I bought a Dell Dimension E510 in April 2006.
It came with Windows XP
80BG Hard Drive (have 45GB left)
300Ghz Pentium 4 Processor w/ Hyper Thread
512 MB Memeory
The CD-RW drive is sh*t already, I am wanting to replace it but not sure what to get... I want a DVD-RW/CD-RW Burner combo, if any one has any ideas.

I have added a Radeon 256mb 9250 Graphics card.

I have a lot of Music and photos on the computer and Ages of Empires 3 is one of the biggest added programs on it.

I am wanting to make the computer run faster. It is surprisingly slow. I am currently trying to upgrade my virus protection and anti-Spyware protection.

I am not sure how to get programs out of the start-up folder, it would be great to have help with that, because it is so slow at start-up and shut down.
If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appriciated. Thank you.

whenever i try to use my webcam it says that i'm already using my webcam in a different application. and it says to disconnect from the other application. But i don't know what the application is... because its not being used by anything else. I even unplugged it and let it sit for a night or so and i plugged it back in and it still said that.

i have this motherboard made by intel DG965WH
and one of the main reasons i bought it was because i thought the motherboard supported sata II. it has 6 sata ports but it doesnt specifically say anywhere on the intel site that it is 6 sata II ports. can anyone help me verify that indeed these are sata II ports. i plan on using esata drives with sata II hard drives and i can't get sata II speeds if the motherboard doesn't support it. please help.

I'm trying to order a webcam from Amazon.com and the site does not really describe the product in depth. I've never had a webcam before and so have no idea about the differences between the different kinds. My main question is if audio is a standard feature on ALL webcams or do I need to buy one specifically with sound?
