Shuttle SD30G2B XPC, CPU support list
|
| |
The CPU support list for this XPC has "Intel Core™2 Duo E6700 2.66 GHz" as the latest "Core 2 Duo" CPU supported. Geez, not only is this CPU hard to find but it's typically priced higher than an E8600 (except on Ebay). Not interested in a used CPU so my question is whether this XPC can indeed support later than the E6700? Will also... more »

OT Attach computer speakers to TV
|
| |
I guess it's common knowledge, but you can use your old computer speakers to enhance the sound of your television simply by connecting them to the headphone output jack on the TV. Nice use when I upgrade my speakers. Of course, some people don't care much about PC sound and wouldn't bother upgrading. I don't know if it works for anything better... more »
