Well yeah, but my speakers are quit good anyway. But yours arent too good ethier. If you really want good sound from the computer you must by a surround decoder 1000+ dollars and speakers for 10000+ dollars each then you maby can talk about some speakers. And the speakers trademark would be atleast be B&W NAUTILUS or better.Quote:

And the soundcard audigy 2 zs its a bit old why dont you take the audigy 4 ;) 269 dollars or something ;).
But anyhow my speaker system is still quit good for the money I bought it for.
Windows XP Dell (Pentium 4). Its about 2.5 years old, and still running great.
the 2700+ is clocked faster then the 2800+ but the 2800+ has double the cache and is barton
A surround decoder for 1000+ dollars? And a normal audigy 2 ZS will take out a normal CD player unless you pay more than 450-500. dollars.Quote:

I really didn't understand your post...Sorry.
And Ze, I'm running it at 2.5ghz. I think 1.7 or 1.8 is the factory setting.
ooh youve overclocked? u got a water cooler or something?
cause watch your cpu it will fry , unlike an intel....
anyway it still only has half the cache and isnt designed on the barton core
