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.

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 :|

    • To give context to everybody, I bought about 2 sets of RAM, ddr4, 3200, 64 gb, 2 years ago. It costed me 150 usd for each set. If you buy RAM now you only incentivate companies to sell you expensive stuff, as Nvidia did.
    • KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.

    • "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.

    • The very fact that a TPM (v2.0 specifically which is part of the issue I suspect) is now a baseline for any supported Windows installation will naturally mean other vendors will start to leverage it as they know it'll be there. It's called progress, and it's always been the way. A TPM isn't a windows thing, it's just a module designed to securely store keys. Secure boot isn't a Windows thing (although MS are the TCA as I recall hence the upheaval this year as the 2011 certs expire), it's just a way to verify a bootloader is signed. Windows simply leverages them.
