100.

7900 is just a speed bump over the 7800, far as im aware theres no new features or anything. The 7900gtx is competative with the x1900xtx, the usual scenario of each card winning and losing a few benchmarks. Ati still has the upperhand in image quality though mainly due to their high quality anisotropic filtering.

go to your sound and audio settings, click Voice tab and test hardware button, this'll give you a wizard that should help. The main common problem is your mic is muted in your recording settings.

Might be a silly answer but its worth checking out. Make sure if you have a mute button on your wire on your headset, make sure its not set to mute. biggrin: The amount of times I've done that, played with my settings for days and finally realised the button was switched to mute on my wire rolleyes:

problem is I have tried the wizard, but the mic still doesnt work. I will check the recording option once I get home today.

Ok my friend bought a new computer, and built it himself. He put it all together and is using the dvi -> vga converter to get it to work with his monitor. when he turns it on, his monitor doesnnt show anything.

AMD athlon 4800+ dual core 64, toledo
DFI Lanparty UT nForce 4 Ultra D
eVGA geforce 7800GTX 256mb
500meg ram pc3200
256 meg ram pc 3200
2 hard drives
430W antec power supply

those are his specs. anyone have any idea what it could be? should he go try a true dvi monitor?

Hes only got 430 watts pushing all that? That's probably not the problem, but still thought I'd point that out.

Either a faulty graphics board or a faulty cpu id say. Everything spins up fans and all etc?

will get another gig ram later.
