if ur an avid listener to the sounds made by ur movies and games, yes having a sound card will most definitely be beneficial if not just scrap it....(keeping in mind good speakers or headphones are first needed to be able to get great quality)

im also currently using one and well as far as any 2.1 goes IMHO hell yea its good imagine it the speaker bought 5 years ago is still in stock and the price has not just fallen but increase instead since i bought it. Which in itself shows how strong the goodwill the VS4121 model has been....

QUOTE(ntc3freak @ Dec 21 2007, 09:22 AM) Hrmm this seems a good suggestion. Will quad core differ alot with the E6750?? I know its 4 instead of 2 cores,but will it make a noticeable difference? bro, had some frens who OC Q6600 to 4.2ghz...The mobo decision is by far the hardest,i have no idea where to start. N btw,im not looking to OC if that helps And guys,where is the cheapest shop in Lowyat? Im quite lazy to walk around the whole plaza still no differ from ur point of view?? i'm speechless....  |
