Oh no! Who's side do I take?!

wow the only package I am expecting anytime soon is my very first ever SATA hd (that I ordered earlier today, 80GB WD SATA3) for my Athlon64 system in my sig...
luckily I was also smart enough to remember to order the adapter piece since my psu doesn't have any SATA power plugs...
now just need to find a cheap source for a 20pin female to 24pin male adapter since my psu is 20pin and mobo is 24pin, newegg wants $4 a piece plus $5 S&H, costs more to ship that tiny piece of plastic and wires then it does that 80GB hd...
I have the system running right now anyways only using 20 pins but no add-in cards or PCIE video. Just using the onboard everything and a temporary ATA66 10.2GB WD hd I had laying around with fresh Ubuntu install on it.... might as well fold with it as is.

I've got a 24->20 pin for free for you, pm me your address and I'll get it out to you.

EVERBODY DOWN, THIS IS A MOFO THREAD HIJACKING!

If anyone is wondering, The x-fi is blowing me away. And I did some experiements and fixed my volume control on my speakers. Mod thread coming for that, and possibly a user view for my card.

I've seen about a 13 FPS overall increase from onboard (Realtek AC'97) and about a 4 FPS overall increase from my old sound card.

Sound quality is insane, not to mention EAX!

Benchmarks between the X-FI and my old one

CoD 2 -

Old: Good
New: WOWZERZ

BF2

Old: Ok
New: WOW! Is that a *thwack!*

DragonForce

Old: Great, but only bangs head a little
New: Even better, Bangs head alot.

So there you go!

BTW, My sound card now costs more than my Video Card :s:
