Frame Rates

??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

Got a few questions.

1.  How can I find out what frame rates I am running on?
2.  How can I change frame rates?
3.  What's the diifference between an analogue and a digital speakers?
4.  My Asus mobo spec lists FSB of up to  333MHz and 400 MHz for Rev. 2.0. However, BIOS listed only  up to 200 MHz. Why?

1- press "shift z" three times while flying

2- lower graphics settings, turn off all unneeded serviced and processes (FSAutoStart highly recommended) defrag often, scan for viruses and spyware etc, do a Google search for FS9 tweaks you'll get a lot of info.

3- ask this in Hardware Forum along with #4, you may get a faster reply becasue I don't have a clue ;)

#4  Double what your BIOS says and it gives total FSB speed, i.e.  133 in BIOS = 266MHz, 166 in BIOS = 333Mhz, 200 in BIOS  400Mhz.

Cant remember the differenec between analogue and digital, but I am pretty sure Digital will give better sound quality etc.

2- all of what politically incorrect said, plus you can upgrade your computer (like memory, gfx card, etc.), though this option require money.

3- Its how the speakers handle incoming audio and how the audio is transmitted. Trust me when I say just go with digital.

ok, analouge is a wire, and digital is usally light. (somtimes high intensity wire)

Digital signals are not always optically transmitted; the difference between analog and digital , for audio, video, or data, is that analog is based on varying voltage, whereas digital is based on computer language (1s and 0s). My audio card, for example, has a digital o/p that is for a regular audio cable, but it spits out numbers, not waveforms. An optical cable, however, is more efficient.
 I'm currently using an analog setup for my speakers, but the difference as far as that goes is just the amplifier . It'll either be able to convert that digital signal back into analog for the speakers, or it won't. Even if the speakers have a built-in digital processor and amp, to move those cones and get pretty sounds instead of modem-like squealing, the signal is analog when it actually gets to the speakers themselves. Naturally, if the source signal is digital, using an amp with digital capability will give you better fidelity, but in the end, the speakers themselves operate on a variable-voltage basis, because that's how your ears work.

The reason I brought up the subject regarding digital and analog was in my  audio card (SB Audigy) there was a separate connection for analog and digital speakers. I have a Labtec 3.1 speakers which suffices for my existing needs but if digital speakers can give out better sound, then maybe I should get a set. But thanks for the enlightment fellas.
