Should i get the xfi xtreme mu

I have got the 7. sb li've but thinking of upgrading to the xtreme music, I play BF 2 a lot and want to get the most out of the sound, after reading a few of the posts on this forum I now don't know if this is the right thing to do or have previous sound/performance issues been sorted.

No mike you are wrong... many people did get huge perfomance drop with x-fi. Not like they got 5-0 fps drop. More like before X-FI they had 50-60 fps, after x-fi they had 20-30 f
ps.
. that isnt ram or windows related. I have no performance drops, and most of the time my BF2 sounds great. But i promise you, you will start to notice the clicking sounds when someone uses artillery, try having headphones on with high volume. And when the commander uses artillery on some target far from you. Almost everyone with X-FI i know has this issue. And almost everyone of these friends with x-fi have different system setu

  • For the 2012 Macbook Pro 13" should I get the 2.5GHz Dual-core Intel Core i5 or the 2.9GHz Dual Core Intel Core i7?

    I am a high school student and I am getting my first Macbook Pro. I am not really sure which 13 inch Macbook Pro model I should get. My budget is kind of tight, but I think that I can afford any one of the models but I dont want to spend any money that I dont have to spend. Usually on a day to day basis, I use the web brower, watch movies that I have downloaded, and write a lot of papers. I also sometimes use Photoshop, and while I do not play a lot of games, I do want to have the option if I decide to later when I go to college. The larger hard drive size on the Core i7 model does not really matter to me because I dont plan using more than 500GB. I will be upgrading the ram to 8GB if I get the Core i5 model and it comes standard on the i7. Also, I need this computer to last me for 3-4 years so I want something that will still seem relatively fast a few years down the road. Lastly, while I would prefer getting the Macbook Pro due to its cheaper price and ability to upgrade the hard drive later, I also am considering the Macbook Air Core i7 model, mainly because of the faster ssd and the higher resolution screen. I dont really use the optical drive, so loosing it would not be a big deal. The same goes with the Firewire port or the Ethernet port. What would you guys suggest I get. A Macbook Pro or a Air and if the Pro, should I get the Core i5 or the i7?
    Thanks

    If you're planning on keeping it for long term.
    Go with the i7 2.9GHz.
    It's a $300 difference but with that you get; the RAM, Hard Drive and Processor upgrade.
    Since you want it to last before you decide to either upgrade or buy a new one.  The i7 2.9GHz is a good choice.
    Do remember that Mountain Lion is around the corner and other software get's updated to and wants more CPU power and more memory.
    Nothing is wrong with the i5 2.5GHz either.  You'll just have to upgrade the RAM sooner in case 4GB isn't enough for you.
    Put it this way:
    i5 2.5GHz has 3MB L3 Cache Memory
    i7 2.9GHz has 4MB L3 Cache Memory
    Now, you're also thinking about the MB Air, a very nice notebook which is light, portable and has a better resolution than the MB Pro 13 inch.  You have to however, keep in mnd that the RAM and Hard Drive in the MB Air is not user upgradeable and has no optical drive.

  • Should I get the new MacBook?

    I have a Mac OS X 2.5GHz 2 GB w/ version 10.5.8.  Can this MacBook Pro handle the upgrade to Mountain Lion or should I get the new MacBook Pro

    In addition I'm sure you are aware that any PPC applications you have will not work and that many of your third party applications my need to be upgraded.

  • In platform transition: should I get the Mac or PC version?

    I am currently working off of a PC, but will be buying a Mac next year May or so.  So ultimately I want a Mac-compatible version of Adobe Creative Suite, but need to work with something on my PC for the next few months.  Should I get the PC version now, and then just continue using that version on the Mac via Bootcamp, Fusion, Parallels, etc.?  Or is there a way where I could get the PC version now and switch to a Mac-compatible version in May? 
    And is it even preferrable to have the Mac-based version over the PC-version when I do buy a Mac?
    I am planning on using the CS for front-end web development (wireframing in Illustrator / Photoshop) and some marketing collateral. 
    Any comments or suggestions would be great. 
    Thank you!

    The simplest way of accomplishing what you want to do is via a subscription to the Adobe Creative Cloud which covers usage on both platforms. For example, download and install on your Windows system now. If you go with a Macintosh later on, simply download and install on the Macintosh. You get two activations and unless you decide to decommission the Windows system, you don't even need to deactivate on the Windows system. Obviously, if you discontinue use of the Windows system, you should deactivate on that system. The subscription also will get you the latest version of the software as it is released without subsequent upgrade costs.

    Is the MacBook the computer you have synced with in the past? If not you can use the computer that you have synced with to restore your apps. Are you sure you are using the same Apple ID that you used to purchase the Apps?

  • Should I Get the Iphone 3g

    I have been looking at getting the Iphone 3g over the past couple of weeks. What I really want is an unbiased opinion. I know it may have some trouble with 3G. And I know it may have a few minor software gliches(which I am pretty sure Apple will fix).
    Also which should I get the 16gb or the 8gb version.
    Thanks

    A lot of "depends" type questions...
    personally, I say yes. Ultimately depends on how you wish to use the phone?
    3G: Call AT&T Customer Svc and have them verify the level of 3G network support in your local area, or your frequented business or otherwise travel locations are. Just because they show you being in "blue" 3G zone, doesn't mean your signal strength will be as strong as another "blue" area 4-miles away. My 3G signal vacillates from No Svc to two bars from minute to minute standing in the same spot. The more users on 3G network will slow your download speed.
    BATTERY: No complaints here based on my regulated use of 3G, PUSH; Locate Me; Wi-Fi usage; send and receive emails/SMS messages, GPS and internet access. First 24-hours I owned the field I spent a lot of time familiarizing myself with all the features and I ended up with 19-hours battery time. Since then I avg 24- 48 hours before recharging.
    My Personal usage: I use my 3G as a "tool", only using features as required. I work a lot from my home office; therefore, don't require PUSH for email/SMS since I have my laptop and local ISP for internet and email access. Being at home and when traveling in the local area I "know where I am for the most part" so GPS is not required. Having my business phone there, most of my calls are on it and not my iPhone unless I receive a call from a colleague or family member on my iPhone. I do leave my BlueTooth turned on at least 8-hours a day even in my home office. I turn PUSH on when I am expecting important emails from clients or colleagues when away from my home office which is at least 1-hr per day... when I am not expecting anything of importance and away from my office, I leave it on FETCH at 15-30 min intervals since there is nothing that important that can't wait and if it is, they can call me to get my attention. I use my camera on occasion (twice in two weeks I think... and have rare needs for video capabilities). Sending pix via SMS or txt can be convenient at times, but depends on the priority and urgency you put into sending this to someone who may not even have their wireless device turned on or close by? I also have not experienced the same concerns as others on this Discussion site.. but their user scenarios may significantly differ from mine. I don't use Micro Soft Exchange server, nor Mobile Me... since my syncs etc can wait until I get to my MacBook Pro and flip on iTunes. I purchased the 16Gig and glad I did. I do have around 200-tunes on it and maybe keep 2-3 movies on it. I listen to my iTunes a couple hours a day on average and talk time is 2.5 to 3.5 hr's a day. I was at the airport two days ago and jumped on their Wi-Fi to jump on the internet to track a colleagues flight coming in and checking news and had my 3G on PUSH for emails for a couple of hours and barely noticed a drain on my battery. Again, I use it as a tool for those features I need at the time and glad I had my 3G. A guy next to me had his BlackBerry open to the web and he glanced over to see the rich HTML download I had on Flight Aware and commented on how he wished he had the robustness of the 3G. On the flip side, the iPhone isn't perfect when it comes to Business usage on a regular basis. It meets my needs and if I want, I can use my company's MS Exchange server, etc... or even Mobile.Me... I just choose not to at this time. I did come over from Verizon Wireless... and I am not convinced AT&T's network (EDGE or 3G) is as reliable. I have had 4-dropped calls in area's I have never had issues with in 7-yr's with Verizon... but AT&T so far have been very good about credits. If this continues on a regular basis before my 30-days ends, I may have to consider returning to Verizon? 3G is still being rolled-out, so I am hoping its coverage and network tools improve to handle the additional user volume's. I don't care which phone you use on 3G, it will still have the same issues and burn battery life quickly if you choose to live on 3G... surf the net or use GPS to go to local grocery store, etc. It isn't a toy, its a tool to be used when you need it.

  • As a student, should I get the Air or the Pro?

    The thing is that I have a Macbook Pro. I got it in 2009 and it is definetly starting to show its age. The battery lasts anywhere from 30-70 minutes when not plugged in. I have to end nearly every Safari session with force quit. The volume quality is terrible and my trackpad is starting to die on me. Genius Bar won't replace the battery because there is apparently a stain on it. Very silly.
    I get tired of lugging my Macbook back and forth to school. So, I was thinking of getting an Air for 1) the weight 2)The battery life. But I hear that Mac Air isn't very powerful. For school, I would need to have Bootcamp installed on my computer because a lot of programs I use aren't mac compatible. (I'm a Management Information Systems major. It's half Computer Science & half Business) This year I used Visio and Oracle SQL Developer. I'm not sure what I will need for upcoming semesters. Will an Air be able to handle these programs? In addition to that, I do the regular stuff: Write a few papers, check emails and facebook, Youtube, web-surf, and watch television online.
    I was thinking I would save my Pro for Sims and use the Air for everything else. I'm a student and a future Apple employee so I'm hoping that I'll get some good discounts. So my question IS, should I get another Pro (I could move everything over to the new comp and donate my old one, but it's soo heavy!) or get an Air (I'd keep my Pro for sims and use the Air for school. But Airs sound very weak!!) What should I do??
    And this is my first post so please be nice
    Thanks to all that reply

    I have a mid 2012 MBA and find it very capable.  The 1.8 GHz Core i5 processor seems to handle everything quite well.  For your school work I think the MBA is your best bet.  It is capable and light.  The MB Pro tends to weight quite a bit more and really isn't that much better unless you get into the very high end units.  One caveat, the MBA does not yet have the Retina display.  If you feel you wil need that, then the MB Pro is the only laptop to go for now.  The MBA may get the Retina display in the future but until them (who knows when) there isn't much of a choice.  If you go with the MBA, make sure you get the best processor and memory you can afford.  I find the Core i5 processor is quite capable and 4 GB RAM is sufficient.  For your school work that should be fine.

  • Should i get the current MacBook Pro or the new design MacBook pro 2012?

    Dear all,
    GImme some opinions which to choose? Should i wait for the supposedly new design MacBook Pro? or get the current models that hae pretty good specs? I'm doing college at the moment and my current laptop is 4yrs old in need of a new one and hopefully get the 17" MBP coz the specs seem amazing. I'm doing graphics and multimedia so i would need a laptop that can handle all those stuff and be fast. So gimme some ideas what you think abt the current MBP and the soon to come new models? which is something pretty doubtful.

    Hold off the buying. The current unibody macs are the last of the generation. A geenration that's in it's 4th year.
    You might want to consider upgrading your current hard drive only to an SSD if your mac supports it. You can then move this over to your new mac. That's what I have done, and the speed difference of an SSD makes it feel like a new machine.
    I would also suggest you buy a 15" and not a 17" save your money. The 17 is loking carrying a surfboard around.

  • Have a Pearl but not sure if I love it... Should I get the Curve?

    Hi everyone!  I've got a dilemma I was wondering if anyone could help me out with.  Two weeks ago I bought my very first Smart Phone - a pink Blackberry Pearl 8130.  There are SO many things I really do love about this phone, such as the size of the phone overall.  It fits perfectly in my hand while holding it to talk, text, etc., and also while just carrying it.  It isn't big and bulky.  I actually love SureType.  It makes texting and IMing quicker for me, though it can take extra time when it doesn't choose the word you're trying to type but I always used T9 before so I'm used to dealing with that.  I've even gotten pretty used to the strange layout of the keys, and I'm sure I'd only get better with it as time went on so that's not a problem either.  The main problem I'm facing is that the keys are just too close together.  While I know where each letter or number key is, a lot of the time I end up hitting the wrong button because they're so small and close.  I'm a very small person and have very tiny fingers and I still struggle with it.  I don't know how the men out there use these phones!!  I also love the color of this one... I'm not usually into the typical black or grey or silver phones.  The pink is great.
    I have 30 days (now 18) to return the phone and exchange for a different one if I'm not liking mine.  My sister and niece just got the Curve 8330 and they really love them.  I'm trying to decide whether or not I should exchange mine for the Curve.  The thing is, I'm not really all that great with the full QWERTY keyboard.  I don't think my texting would necessarily go any faster with it, but I'm sure it'd be a whole lot more accurate!  And of course I wouldn't mind having the bigger screen.  I'm just a little wary because it's a bigger phone.  I'm afraid I wouldn't like it for that reason.
    So basically I'm just wondering if anyone out there has had the Pearl and the Curve and can compare?  Has anyone been in my situation and found they like the Curve better? 
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks so much for your reply!  You've definitely got me leaning more toward the Curve now.    I'm sooooo bummed out that our Alltel doesn't have the pink Curve.   They're in the process of switching over to Verizon but said it'll be around late summer before they really start getting their phones in.  All I have to choose from is red and black!  If they had the silver one, I'd go for that even.  But as you mentioned, you can buy all sorts of skins and covers for them so I guess I can always give that a try!  If they'd had the pink Curve I would have exchanged in a heartbeat! haha  I'm such a girl sometimes.
    I really do a lot of emailing, texting, IMing, etc., so the Curve may be better for me.  My last phone was a Scoop (though I only had it for a few months because it was a replacement phone) and toward the end, I started to get used to the full QWERTY keyboard more.  I really like that the Curve has buttons that you can really depress... Not just the flat keys that you can't even really feel as you're pushing! 
    Thanks again for your help!  My sister and niece are also telling me I should go with the Curve.
