it does make a difference... i have a Soundblaster X-FI Platnium hooked to a Onkyo 908 System hooked with Optical... and trust me it makes a big difference... well unless you get the new Ati Radeon 4870x2 which has HDMI with Full 1080p, if you want great sound get a Platnium version of a Creative card and use the optical inputs... but i guess if you only have 2.1 sound then there really aint going to be a big change

This happened to me last year with my computer, and i found out the fans on the power supply were not turning, it would shut it's self off, then i would have to leave it off for about a half hour or so to cool down and i couldn't figure out what it was so one day i turned it on and looked in the back and the fans would not turn what so ever on the power supply, so if i were you i would buy a new power supply that is a real good quality one.... thats what my problem was.. not sure if its the same for you but good luck man.

i would have to say go with the 4870x2 because for one it has 2 GPU's in it and 2 gigs of GDR5 in it, or you could always wait for the 5870x2's or Nvidia's new video cards coming out next year... but i guess is all on what you choose....everyone has there own taste... some people like the quality and feel of nvidia and some love ATI's .... i been using nvidia mostlty because of there great drivers...but im switching to ATI with my new pc build if nvidia can't come out with something to push back against ati's 4870x2's....

its most likley the motherboard or the PSU... the PSU could be going out and not giving out enough juice for all the parts to run so your losing power to your video card...or yes the motherboard bit the dust...your best idea would to purchase or try your psu on another computer first before getting a new motherboard just to make sure.... its what i did

acctually to tell you the truth, why you cant upgrade your laptop is because everything mostly on laptops are all ONBOARD...so theres nothing really to remove and replace is more of a give or take, if it goes out of date you throw it out and buy a new one... the best places i've seen for prices on computers is Dell and ABS...or even check newegg.com...buy i build all my computers, which is the cheapest way

it would be nice to see them change up how cops get to you, maybe have cops watching each block so when they get a call in they come rushing... that would be cool
