First off, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section. I have a laptop that has a high performance video card, and an integrated card. In my Nvidia control panel I set google chrome to use the integrated graphics processor (intel) because using the high performance card (Nvidia) when on-the-go...

I have them connected. I'd just like a system that's 3.5mm or RCA (use RCA to 3.5mm adapter) so I could use the system with other devices that only support 3.5mm.

Thanks for all your help. I currently don't have any money to pay for all this because I plan on getting a new desktop first, so it wouldn't do me much good to decide what I'm getting now. I don't think I'd be able to use the old pioneer system though, it has a different kind of connection for...

I want to get a 5.1 surround sound system. My laptop motherboard's onboard audio will support it, but I want to know how it works exactly. Since the jacks are 3.5mm, could I buy a subwoofer, and 2 sets of bookshelf speakers and use 2 bookshelf speakers for the front, and 2 for the rear?
