    I just got the 5930G with the 2GHz CPU, and have been considering changing it for one that is a bit faster. Anybody here who has changed their CPU successfully, and have any good advice on which to choose?

    And then my second question, is there a possibility to remove the Virtual Surround as standard? Im getting rathered tired of turning it off every time I restart my computer... I guess If I uninstall the eAudio thingy It'll be gone, but then I'll loose the other options, like 5.1 output though the use of all the three jacks... Or?

    EDIT: The IR-sensor in it, responds to my Xbox 360 remote, turning the computer on/off when I turn on the Xbox. Is there any way to disable it without opering the computer and unplugging it?

    I just fixed the Audio issue. I uninstalled the eAudio and the RealTek driver and installed new drivers and now everything is working like charm, without the Virtual Surround :D For some reason I got a BSOD after restarting after uninstalling, but installed the new driver and now everything is working fine.

    Only the IR sensor problem left :)
