Connecting Logitech X530 speakers to PS3 slim

nativex — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 20:05:21 +0800

Dear everyone,
I am in the midst of deciding whether to buy a PS3 or not. If someone can help me with this, I will get one for CNY

I want to connect my PC to my 24" LCD computer monitor (Acer P241W), which does not have build in speakers. However, I have Logitech X530 5.1 speakers (I know it is old speakers, but it is still in good shape) and I would like to connect this speaker directly to PS3 (if possible).

The question is how. Appreciate for everyone's help.

New PC spec advice

Dear everyone,
How's everyone's weekend?
I would like to buy a new PC, mainly to watch high definition movies and play games. Any advice on what kind of processor, motherboard, graphic card to buy? There are too many options out there, and I am not sure whether which is compatible with which because I am not a computer savvy person.
Would appreciate for any advice.
Many thanks

Problem with my computer. need help

Dear everyone
How's everyone?
I have a puzzling problem and hoping that someone in the forum can help me out.

To kick start, I shall show my PC specs.

(a) Microsoft XP professional SP2
(b) DualCore Intel E6300
© Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3
(d) Kingston 2GB DDR2-800 RAM
(e) ATI Radeon X1950 XTX
(f) Seagate 500GB hard disk

My computer is experiencing what I would describe as "lagging" when more than 1 application being opened simulatenously.
For example, I am playing music using winamp (I have close winamp agent, and put winamp player on top of my screen and hide it), the music is playing fine and smooth. Then when I want to copy/transfer files between internal hard disk and external hard disk (or vice versa), the music will still resume to play, but as if radio running low on battery.

The same thing happen when I am watching high definition movies on Media Player Classic and attempt to transfer files while watching the movie. The movie will lag and draggy all the way until the file transfer completed.

I have upgraded my RAM from 1Gb to 2GB, but the problem did not go away. I have also updated all the drivers.

Also, when I am using utorrent downloading stuff, the same thing happen when I am listening to music or watching a movie.

My question is
(a) Is it hardware related problem?
(b) Is it software problem? If it is software problem, is there any file that I can download to fix this?

It is annoying.

Appreciate for any help I can get. Thank you very much for your time and help.
