Ah. Merry christmas everyone! I am in the process of getting 2 computer together out of spare parts. This is my room now.

Everything. The closes PC is a soon to be Athlon 1.0ghz with an ABIT kt7 mobo. 768mb ram, no hard drives yet and GeForce 2 mx 200. No clue what I am going to do with it.

The one under my desk is an old HP that had some parts in it (RAM, video card) And on my desk is my newest addition..

"New" PC. AMD 2000+ with some motherboard my Dad got some time ago, 1gb ram, Geforce 4 ti 4200, 40gb hard drive. Probably going to be for LAN parties (CS:S, Quake 3, file sharing with an external HD I don't have). This case is gonna look bad ass when I am finished.

There hooked up to my 360 and PC so all i do is switch the green, beige, black coloured audio wires from out my pc into the VGA cable Audio splitter thing and boom i have 5.1 while playing something good like Call of duty 3 in HD :D

I was researching this the other day. On the logitech website it says you need a games console adapter afaik that only takes in the right and left sound channels and you get "fake surround sound".

Well in the X530's i got it had a converter from the red and white coaxial i think it is audio from the vga cable and plugged it into the converter which then lets me plug in my speakers using black beige and green audio wires which go to my 5.1. About the "fake surround sound" lets just says it sounds surround sound enough to me :)

That's just converting a 2.1 signal into a 5.1 speaker system which means allot of the sounds will just come out of the same speakers. A true 5.1 surround sound system wouldn't have sound-bleed i.e. sounds from your front right speaker wont be echoed through your back right speaker as in the game/movie you are playing/watching wouldn't be recorded with overlapping sound channels unless director wished it to be.

If you played Gears Of War in true 5.1 you would probably go :|

    • No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.
    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
