As a user of Creative Cloud since January, I actually have no issue at all with this.
For less than $50 a month, having access to almost all of CS6 and two licenses (one for home and one for work)...
Have you tried muting all unused inputs in the Windows mixer (mic, line-in, etc.) ? I always do that, even with a soundcard to reduce the chance of picking unwanted noise.
Also, the front panel...
Nope, it's a waaay smaller company in Quebec called Quest, they used to sell speakers mostly at Future Shop so it's decent but really entry-level gear :o It's nowhere near hi-fi grade.
The bookshelves I have are just a $100 set that I bought after getting out of college, they are decently built but cheap mostly because they are made locally.
Still, I lucked out because they almost...
Yeah, it depends mostly on what you have it connected to. In my case I only have an entry-level stereo receiver with stereo bookshelf speakers (still blows away most computer speaker sets), and the...
IMO if you want real audiophile-grade, your best bet would be to get an USB DAC or external soundcard, so the digital-to-analog conversion is done outside the interference of other PC components. ...
Yeah, I hear you on that (had faulty DDR1 Ballistix, and Crucial's RMA was not that pleasant).
Back when I bought my SSD, the m4 was a solid choice though and I was willing to give them a second...
Where did you get that ? Your release date is for the "slim" version, the standard m4 dates from 2011 or so (bought mine in November 2011). The only "big" bug Crucial had was the 5000h BSOD bug which...
Use the 800 for better performance. This generation of motherboards are among the first to support 800 MHz FSB CPUs.
I have a similar motherboard (P4i65G) with an overclocked 2.6GHz Northwood...
Hell yes I remember those. My step-sister got scammed by buying an overpriced system with one of these, the onboard VGA was insanely blurry and even paired a Celeron 700 it actually lost when I...
Yes, I guessed from your post that he had a new drive in the laptop, so he can copy the games to it from the external drive and keep it as a backup. Running games directly from an external drive...
Yeah, Windows 7 is a lot better with finding and handling external monitors and TVs. If you play games, take a look at the Big Picture mode in Steam and grab a wireless Xbox 360 controller for a...
I paid twice that much (around $400) for a cheap entry-level 256GB SSD at the end of 2011, so $200 for a Pro 256GB is not really that costly ;)
It's not that often that a supposedly "cutting-edge"...
If you don't have more IDE devices than two and they are on the same IDE channel, you could try disabling the other one just in case (ex: disable Primary IDE if you only use the secondary).
IIRC...
I checked a few forms on the site you mentioned, and they seem to be interactive PDFs, which means you can directly fill the form using your PDF reader software (ex: Acrobat) on your computer then...
I'm seriously thinking going with powerline networking if I buy a house with a finished basement. The outside-the-walls CAT5 wiring job I did at my house right now is not really aesthetic :P
Glad to...
Is the fan on your ATI videocard spinning correctly, not clogged by dust, etc. ?
Because fact that it suddenly runs very slow and gets hot would make me think of GPU throttling, which might be due...
