I did search, but didn't come up on a lot of stuff. Maybe i just didn't
search with the correct words. I find some stuff, but not really specifics
on how DVi works and stuff. Sorry if i'm wasting time, i really do try to
search before asking. In fact that's why i don't email a lot, most of my
questions are answerd first by searching. I still have that sound issue that
sucks, but hopefully my new mobo from newegg will fix that.
