Hi, I just found a few audio cards in a box I had. I started sorting them out and the 3 best I found are: Soundblaster EMU10k1-JFF, EMU10K1-Nef and EMU10K1-EDF. Should I put them in my computer or the integrated audio card is better? (I'm doing a lot of remix and music production, I should invest in a good one later) EDIT: I realised the models are CT 4790, 4830 and SB0220

It should run fine on an intel iGPU.

Maybe the ram frequency is not compatible with the CPU. Anyway it should not make a difference, your memory will just take more time to fill or empty when you use apps that use a lot of RAM like Blender.

The laptop is always plugged, on max performances mode

Hi. I just got a Alienware m17x R4 from a friend. I installed windows, my drivers and all my apps, but the performances are terrible. The gmes use the integrated graphics no matter if I run them on the dGpu. I had to deactivate the iGpu in the driver to run them on the GPU! But the clock is limited to 135 and the performances are worst than the iGPU. I tried blender with the CPU just for fun. It use all my threads, but only at 50%! And instead of running at 2.3 Ghz, the CPU is running at 1.2 Ghz! Is it because the battery is dead? if so, what can I do to fix this?

Hi, yesterday I blew some dust out of my keyboard with a small air pump that is made to clean DSLR sensor, and it did not worked very well but, since I did this the key "Zero" is not working anymore. This is really a big problem for me because I use it very often and I'm programming a video game but now I can't. Can I fix this myself or I will need to send it to the company ?
