The only thing I could think of is that a faster PCI bus will result in less lagg between the PCI cards, so maybe other speed related cards work faster.

My case has so many fans that it hovers above the ground :eek: .

Overclocking your sound card would produce no benefit, as Svol said. It could even cause it to work badly, if the FSB was raised beyond what the card could handle.

However, if you had a PCI bus hogging card like the SBLive, and a gigabit network card, then the gigabit would most likely be bottlenecked by the bus. Raising the PCI bus speed would very likely remove that bottleneck.

It just needs more power. Take a 1/8" wire, plug it into the line-in jack on the sound card, then strip the other ends and plug them to your 110/220 AC outlet. Your sound card will have all the overclocking power you will ever need at that point. If it starts to spark, that just means it's working! Fire up counterstrike and go to town.

Don't forget the mousepad. I had to stick some huge heatsinks on the bottom of mine, but it's overclocked to hell and back.

Well it obviously wasnt intercooled was it. I put an Eaton supercharger on my kb at 14.5psi. You gotta see that thing go. And i even put a wheelybar on my computer chair and a 5 point harness. MOHAA can get away real quick

Blame the newbies not the technology

You will need to put heatsinks on your speakers though as they will get real hot. An alpha on each speaker should be plenty. Use lots of thermal paste.

Do they make a shim for speakers, cuz after a few time taking my alpha sinks on an off, I've seemed to develop some chipping of the speakers, although this hasn't hindered their performance yet.
