Cool... I wonder what the specs of the GTS450 will be...

Nope, screen is a Viewsonic VX2240w 22" @ 1680 x 1050. Also, I'm running on 2x2GB DDR2 PC800 RAM if that matters.

I see... So, would an OC'd e7500 @ 3.42Ghz bottleneck a GTX460?

I'm kinda getting a feeling that it'd be somewhat a waste of money? Though I've been eye-ing this Q9400... I decided not to go for it since 775 is a dead socket and once I purchase that, the depreciation would suck.

Awesome to hear that!

Will my e7500 OC'd to 3.42 Ghz bottleneck a GTX 460 1GB? I'm trying to get the most out of my LG775A system since I don't have the budget yet to build an i-series rig.

TIA!

I have Creative T3130 2.1 speakers. Very good budget $50 speakers if you ask me.

Here's what I got:

The Realtek is louder and boomier. Also has more noticable highs.

The Audigy has better mid range.]

I dunno, I think I'm just looking for a reason to justify using the Audigy's.

Well... I'm still torn between the two. Still can't get to a conclusion as to which one's better.

I have no idea what to use between the onboard Realtek HD sound from my ASUS P5QL-PRO motherboard and my Creative Audigy 2 Value. I try to distinguish the difference and I don't know if my ears are playing tricks on me but it seems like the Realtek sounds better.

Has anyone compared these two? What are your thoughts? TIA. :D
