Add-ons - August 2007

My Uncle just gave me a front panel that he had that comes with the SB Audigy 2. It's connected to the sound card and power properly but, I can't get it to work. Do I need additional software for it? Drivers? Any other thoughts?

Hi,

Is 559MB NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 (UMA) a good, very good, or extremely good graphic card? I'm a noob, so don't go too much in the performance details, just keep it simple, thx

i recently bought this motherboard along with processor, memory etc. it has built in graphics, but i can't find any drivers, no sorry i can't even find out the information of the graphics so i can even start to look for the right drivers to install.
does anyone know how to find out this information?
I've tried looking on the device manager and even ran dxdiag with directx 9 and they just come up with N/A or exclamation marks and has no information at all.
in fact theres a few devices under "other devices" (PCI device(even though i have no PCI cards plugged in), system interrupt controller, unknown device (that's what it says) and video controller (VGA compatible))
i think that not having this driver is the cause of the visual problems i am having, as the refresh rate when i scroll a page is extremely noticeable and the properties settings only allow me to use "default refresh rate"
please help how i can obtain this information for the drivers, unless you know where i can get them from.

I'm doing some homework before I build my next gaming PC. I'm "on-the-fence" as to whether it's going to be AMD or INTEL based. Please let me know your thoughts on the best CPU for under $300. And I don't just mean what's the fastest clock-speed that $300 can buy. If some 1.5 GHz, $125 part overclocks to 3 Ghz or something better, please let me know. Thanks!!!

I have a 500GB WD My Book connected to my Vista PC via Firewire, and I use it frequently. It works fine, but it can take around 15-30 seconds for the drive to spin back up out of power save mode, and during file operations related to the drive, applications freeze until it has had time to spin back up.

I would ideally like to control the amount of time that elapses prior to it spinning down (because I assume the power save mode extends the life of the drive as well as saving power). WD says the spindown delay is set at 10 minutes and is not configurable.

So, does anyone know of an application that will periodically write a small amount of data to the drive so it won't spin down? Thanks in advance.
