OK, time to build one
« Reply #60 on: January 27, 2008, 07:16:24 PM »
Yeah, I thought about tossing the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz in, but I think it's had a bit of a stutter in AH all along. I think I'll try the OB sound, then the TB and if I'm not happy THEN a Soundblaster of some sort.

The NEC driver isn't hard to find. It's a Multisync E1100+.

I'm looking forward to this. I haven't been able to run AH at it's best resolution with the hi res art for a long, LONG time.  :)

Get some creative soundcard for gaming. Not for sound quality but for the directsound and hardware acceleration qualities.

Ah, Thanks Fulmar, been putting my list together for my next build. Going to go with the e8400 chip.

I hate to admit this but even before I posted about building the new one I was working 6 days a week and about 60 hrs. It got worse since; I have been working building an Irish pub downtown and for the last 6 weeks it's been 7 days/70 hours.

I haven't had time to order the bits.

Thankfully, I'm down to punchlist items now; I actually had an 8 hour day last week and I had the last weekend off.

As soon as my gyros level out and I figure out where I am, I am going to get this thing ordered.

i'd guess the last plan is still a good one; maybe the prices have even dropped a bit!

 Plenty of deals out there. Tiger direct; Intel 2.4 quad/XFX MB $349. I like the Antec 900 case. Lots of cooling/200mm, 3-120mm fans.($119) was on sale couple of weeks ago for $89. Got 4gb Ram at Newegg for $119.

 I tried a turtle beach few years ago, pre AGP even. Was a nice sound card but not compatible with all games.
