if it's dead, then it's dead. No firmware can change that. New ones don't cost that much. Ebay will have some real good deals.

I don't think that you can really "get" the wires, since they come with the PC case. And, anyway, if the sound card doesn't have any appropriate pins which are designated for front panel jack connection, then there's nothing you can do, really (except buying a whole new machine).

if ATI, go for nothing below HD5770. As for other brands (read - GeForce), do not go for anything below mainstream.

If I had that possibility, I'd take it - go bigger. :D

maybe you should try to boot into safe mode fist. I guess that Hirens Boot CD is hoing to have everything you'll need - cpu stress testing is the only thing I can think about in regards to testing the processor.

I assume that it did work before you installed the creative card. Try to take the card out and see what happens. Modern computers always have a integrated audio card. The front jack can be usually activated only by attaching special wires to the appropriate pins on the motherboard, which...

You're right, the card should kick the game's butt. These graphs tell the same story. Maybe try to lower some specific setting. Like AA or Vsync. Try to search up "best 9800gtx drivers" or something, cause when I had a geforce, the newest drivers did not imply better working capabilities...

I think that krakit.com is a suitable name; although, I feel that there should be something added to it krakitforums.com or krakitdaz.com or krakitboard.com, something that indicates as to what is the core service. also, krakitinfo.com

Will it be presented like a blog or more like a forum?

Depends on how much space you got on your PC table. But, bigger is better (unless the distance to the monitor isn't too short).

When I was on Windows XP, I was using RocketDock; So if you don't have win7 w/ the cool taskbar and/or Mac OS X, then this is a great alternative (you can minimize apps to the dock as well as have indicators as to which app is open atm).

I think that it will work, I am not sure about the hardware virtualization, though. I'm guessing you're getting this: Pentium 4 3.0 SL6YH SL74Q C1 3.0 GHz 512 KB 400 MT/s 30× 1.55 V ~80 W Socket 478 RK80532PC080512 RK80532NC080512 to be 100% sure, I would look at the datasheet...

Try to boot Linux. See what that says.

I would take MacBook 2 Why: - newer CPU with lower power consumption, higher FSB [here's some article about it - the FSB has been eliminated from the newer i-series CPUs since the North Bridge has been incorporated into the CPU itself, but it is till important in the prev-gen dual core CPUs]...

This is considering that you want something more than Std Def movies and internet browsing abiliy: That system is old, and buying additional DDR will be much more expensive than buying brand new DDR3 memory modules - and they are much faster than DDR. Scrap the system, man (cause you have to...

Can't say for sure. Check all of them + check the memory as well (Hirens boot CD is a good start)

Unless you want to add a aftermarket cooler, you'll be fine using what's there on the stock cooler.

I was using BSplayer once for quite a while. But I guess that playing video should be about playing video and not about fancy interface or a s*itload of features. That's why I haven't changed VLC to anything else in several years and I will probably not in the coming foreseeable future...

Does your sound card have some kind of software layer? Vendors sometimes supply these weird equalizer pieces of software so that you can manage the output of your speaker system. If the cables check out, try that - maybe the stereo output bias is shifted to the left speaker.

This is an interesting review. the 333 MHz diff won't show that much of a difference, unless the latency specs are better on the 1666Mhz model.
