SB Live! @ Audigy 2 Mod @ OC-Service.com
"I am sure that many of you have noticed some SoundBlaster cards moding issues on the net. Such issues were brought up on numbers of duscussion forums. We can there find some manuals that briefly explain us how to modify a sound card. Those modifications involve all the SoundBlaster Live! and Audigy series cards. If you have not heard of those mods, I am sure you are wondering what is the use of them. The names of those manuals ( SB Live! @ Audigy2 mod ) as well as the title of this article give us hope of improving our old sound card for free and making it a better model. Since the mod itself is not programmed, I decided to present all the software that went through the hands of Live! users."
Kingston Hyper-X Ultra Low Latency PC3200 1GB @ Systemcooling
"PC3200 memory has experienced a resurgence of late with the introduction of ultra low latency modules from a variety of manufacturers. The design of these modules is such that they can run at very tight timings, and a side effect of this is that many of them will overclock with mad abandon. Kingston has jumped on this low latency trend with a vengeance with the release of their KHX3200ULK2 modules, which are designed to run at 2-2-2-5 timings. Today we're looking at a 1GB set of these modules (2-512MB sticks), and we're going to find out if they're as good as we think they might be."
