Agreed. My old PCI Audigy 2 ZS sound card was better (bass/low frequencies, clarity, etc. -- not an audiophile and only have a 2.1 Logitech Z-2300 analog speakers!) than my onboard RealTek audio. I have yet to find a replacement for it even though I don't game a lot for its EAX these days. I still listen to MP3s, watch videos (including HDTV recordings), movies, etc. I wished newer motherboards had PCI slots to reuse it since it still works. Yes, Creative drivers suck but the card is better than onboard audio!:(
That explains why its low frequencies suck. My Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS and Live! sound cards (mainly for gaming and their hardware EAX -- don't game anymore though!) did better than this onboard RealTek audio. However, I have yet to find a good cheap PCIe sound card for both Linux and Windows XP Pro. SP3. I only listen to MP3s, watch videos (DVDs, HDTV OTA feeds/recordings, streaming videos, etc.), quick and random Flash games (rarely computer games), etc.
OK, how are they compared to SB Audigy 2ZS sound card for listening to audio with music, computer games, videos ( DVD, HDTV recordings, streaming videos, etc.)?
... And they (original, 16, Live, Audigy 2ZS, etc.) were still better than the onboard audio IMO even with my poor hearing (wear an analog mono hearing aid). I also have a Logitech I used to game a lot so I wanted hardware EAX. I had to dump Audigy 2ZS because of the lack of old PCI slots on the newer motherboards/mobos., so I decided to try onboard RealTek audio. I also don't game these days. Well, onboard's quality and subwoofer's bass were less on my Logitech Z-2300 speakers (2.1 setup and analog).
I still have not found a good one to buy that was fully compatible for Linux and Windows after 1.5 years. I just listen to MP3s, watch TV/television, movies, videos, etc. Onboard is OK if audio quality is not important.
Resource Exhaustion The cumulative usage of software tends to create more and more intentionally stored data. If storage resources are not managed carefully, this stored data causes file systems to fill up o free memory to be depleted, a problem known as resource exhaustion.
A dramatic example of resource exhaustion occurred on NASA's Spirit rover, which stopped communicating with Earth on January 21, 2004, after having landed on Mars just seventeen days earlier. Suspecting a problem with the flash memory, JPL engineers commanded the rover to boot up without reading the flash, and then deleted hundreds of unneeded files on the flash memory, which quickly addressed the problem.

I hated Gnome 3, Unity, etc. I didn't like KDE v4.4.3 that came with Debian stable a few months ago. I stuck with its Gnome v2.3. It was OK, but much better than the other two. I have not tried Xfce yet.
Funny. I had a fake account, but I was kicked off after about three weeks from using it.:(
It's scary that Facebook find suggested friends pretty good. I am trying to figure how it knows that. I assume it is tags, texts mentioning my name, my e-mail address, etc.
I grew up with Netscape (until its Communicator v4.x) and still love Mozilla's suites, SeaMonkey (used to be called Mozilla).
In the middle of last month, I finally installed to the latest v2.10.1 after v2.0.14 had problems with some web site with serious slowdowns (cbs2.com's links, icanhascheezburger.com's sites, etc.) even with brand new clean installs on all updated platforms (Mac OS X 10.7.4, Windows XP Pro. SP3, and Linux/Debian stable). v2.10.1+ had some issues. I lost some extensions (NoSquint and BugMeNot) even after waiting over a year for them to keep up. There are a few minor annoying bugs, but mostly stable unlike earlier versions because of Flash player plugins! Ugh!

How good are those video cards' audio compared to onboard and sound cards?

What's the number to your BBS? [grin]
Less resources? How come it requires more RAM than W7? :P

And you shouldn't be working for using the word word. :P
Try searching on https://www.binsearch.info/ and see what you find. ;)
Are there good updated lists to get free open proxies?
How many geeks actually do that thought? ;)

Yes, that's nice but we need results. Talkings always look good.
The fine prints probably are shown, but we probably can't read them because they are so tiny and blurry. ;)
BTW, what are adds? :P

"Hey, Linux has had 15 years to get IT IS own shit together."? :P
Sure, Valve can do its own distro but still support non-Steam distro!

IIRC, Qtest was out for Linux at first, then Mac, and then Windows back in its days.
Thanks. I am glad for BBSes, Internet, etc. I don't know what to do without them!
That is why I never want to keep all my web site accounts in one basket. No way.
Wow, how lame. :(
What was your derisory compensation offer like? ;)
