[DaveTaylor]

Yeah. If you save up and get that combo it'll sound beasty!

I'd strongly recommend Logitech X-530s or X-540s if you can stretch £10-20 more.

Thanks! I can see the X-530 for £40 (ex. delivery) and the X-540 for £54 (also ex. delivery). Will the sound quality on the X-540 be significatly better than the X-530?

Thank you

One more question: How do they connect to the PC? Do they connect through the green connection on the motherboard?

[N!ck]

Yes. Do you have a 5.1 compatible soundcard?

Yes. Do you have a 5.1 compatible soundcard?

I am getting a new computer, but as I have promised myself not to open it, i'm not sure. I am 90% sure it does, but I won't know until Christmas!

If it doesn't, can I just connect it to the green connection?

[Recursion]

It won't be 5.1 then

Okay, but until I get a new sound card could I use the green connection? Could I make it come out of all the speakers and not just the two front speakers?
