Win XP Pro MP3 instability

I recommend using turtle beach over audigy or other sb cards for mp3's even though its more expensive. Also, try using Coolplayer for your mp3's.

Replacing Power Supply Fan

I need to know the same thing. I was thinking about getting 3 panaflos, one for exhaust, one for replacing the 300w enlight P/s fan (magik fan), and one for my PAL 8045. Do you think this would lower my noise levels pretty good? Right now I have no exhaust fan, and im using a generic fan for...

(Dead) At Staples CenDyne "32x12x40" (Lite-ons, Mitsumi & AOpen) "$30.00" AR & coupon

The first 32x Cendyne I bought had a serial number with 20 something digits and ended in JED1. I took it back to another staples, and looked for a lite on before I swapped it. If you want the Lite On, look for the Serial #LTR-32123S on the back of the box, under performance specifications.

Audigy vs Turtle Beach

Audiophiles on the Neoseeker boards recommend the Santa Cruz over the Audigy. Newbies on hardware forums recommend Audigy ;)

Audigy or 256 of ram

FYI theres no hardware difference between your "bottom of the line" SB Live Value and a SB Live platinum 5.1 other than 5.1 support (useless if you dont have surround speakers) and software.

If I were you I would get neither. I would use that money fo something else, maybe get a new pair of shoes or some clothes for summer :) No but seriously, both of those upgrades are really minor so the price would outweigh the performance benefit. I could see if you were on like 128mb going...

Opinions: Anything better than Yamaha 24x10x40 CRW3200??

So the Lite On 32x or 40x would be a better buy. I didnt realize that yamaha is going for 180 bux @ frys! (30 dollar rebate, but still).

Ohh my! Tomshardware tests real P4 2.53 and 2.66GHz with 533FSB!

Of course the P4 533FSB is gonna be faster than a Athlon XP 2000+. Thats 1GHZ clock speed increase. I guarantee an athlon xp @ 2.67 would smoke any p4's.

Best board for an athlon xp 2000?

I use the epox 8kha+, rock solid and fast. I bought this board because I didnt need RAID (the bugspray is more useful to me). Also the soltek SLDRV4 is supposed to be a sweet board, it uses the newer southbridge with ATA 133 (another useless feature heh). And theres always Asus and Abit.

A7N is built on the Nforce 420 Chipset. The A7M is built on the AMD 760 chipset. As for speed, the A7N will probably be faster by about 10 - 15 % than the A7M, but the A7M has proven to be a stable board. If I were you I would personally go for the A7V266-E but you dont want a VIA chipset, so...
