Looks like I'll go with the Av40 then!

Selling my Logitech X540 to my friend for €25.

Or what about about these? Tannoy F1 Custom. Some searching says they a good audio company too!

Nice, nice. What's the sound like? and how much would you be looking at for those?

Haven't found a dealer so I didn't hear them yet (Monitor Audio dealer used to be 3KM away from me buy they've closed). Its relatively affordable - looking at 700€ (pair). Then I also need cables-300€ (bi-wired), amp-1500€. The only thing that is turning me off is that they are rear ported. Since I want to place them close to the wall sound damping is a must.

I thought 6 core i7 from Intel was awsome, but heck now they say there will be 8 core as well.

I can foretell the future - there will be 128 cores

Mcminty: you got it.

IGR: Tannoy is pretty good too, I haven't really had the chance to listen to them a huge amount. If you like the sound of them, go for them. I just like the sound of the Ms myself.

What about Behringer MS40? They any good? I can get them delivered for €134. I like the look of the Behringers tbh.

Behringer is low end. I wouldn't go for it

if anyone saw my post disregard that, i am going to cancel my preorder for BFBC2, i'm not going to spend more money to upgrade my computer to play it, and i'm moving away to college soon anyways would be pointless

ATi WTF drivers at their best: Powerplay or should I call it powerfail... it is feature that downclocks the card depending of the usage to save power. Well that sounds nice and environmental green on paper, but the fuck it causes sooo much problems.

Try to watch goddamn movie when the card jums between idle and full clocks and something odd between causing lagging and slowmotion in the video playback.

I have had similar kinda issues with either games or videos since the damn feature was added the first time in HD 3870.

Can't you disable it?

Nope. Its flashed straight into cards BIOS. Shittty thing...

edit: well I could disable it in theory... haxoring the BIOS and disabling it myself... but flashing the cards BIOS effectively voids its warranty too so no thanks.

Guys, how can I make Winamp detect deleted/moved files? Problem is I moved some albums from one location on my disk to another, and imported to winamp. Now Winamp displays both files, inluding the old one which obviously can't be played but is still there in Winamp..

Remove old files from the library. Delete key should do the trick

Edit, found it

Thanks anyway

Run a GPU intensive program on the other monitor, and switch it off

Or switch to onboard video?

Eh I got one monitor, and I don't have onboard video because my mobo isn't some garbage model low end.

I would have though that onboard is a good thing, not a feature put onto low end mobos, rather a feature kept off low ends to keep it cheap.
