Just hooked up a 27" Cinema LED to my PC with MSI GTX 460 Hawk SLI. I'm using the Atlona DP-400 and everything works great in Windows at 2560x1440. But I am getting nothing on the display during post, i.e. I cannot see the bootup text or get into the BIOS or boot device override menu. The...

I'll give this a try and report back. I did see at a thread on another site that someone who got a 30+ score with a SLI 460 repeated the test with the proper settings and the score dropped to the 23-24 range which is consistent with what I found. I was pretty sure my scores weren't low...

GF104 does scale great, my scores come close to doubling when comparing single GPU to SLI. But the highest score I can get with 2 x 460 overclocked 900/1800/2000 with a 980X and PCIe @ 110MHz is 24.9 without reducing the Nvidia control panel settings from default. My score did go up about 10%...

The results for 2 x 460 in the 30-31 range are suspect; they were likely run without having all three tesselation sliders at 2.0 before starting the benchmark or at a lower resolution, or with some other quality setting turned down. With my overclocked 460 Hawks in SLI (900/1800/2000 @...

Actually I went to Slickdeals.net, registered for their forum, and used one of the 20% off flat panel display coupons in the Dell coupon forum. You can also buy them off Ebay for $10 or so, which would have been my next option. Somewhere here sent me one via email, but it was no longer valid...

Although Dell specificed shipping time at 1-2 weeks, mine went out the day after I ordered. This is my first Dell monitor. I'm impressed with the stand and sheer size. Quality seems good. Previously I used a Sony SDM-P234/B and Apple Cinema HD, before that a 17" Samsung 170T. Revision...

Well I just placed the order for the 3007WFP-HC. It was a tough decision, but bottom line is size won out. And the major criticisms of the 3007 (single input, lack of scaling, absent OSD) were not deterrents, as it will be used solely as a computer monitor and the Nvidia GPU drivers can do all...

Thanks for all the good info. I still cannot make up my mind but am leaning towards the 2707 to avoid having to mess with DPI scaling. Since the 3007's lack of inputs (most frequently mentioned fault) doesn't matter to me, it is tempting. The 2007 just went on a 10% sale, while the 10% sale...

I was planning on getting a 3007-HC but am starting to think the 2707 may be a better choice for me. I have enough space to accomodate either, but not enough space for a 32" 1080p HDTV as my credenza has a 30" wide space for a display and all the 1080p HDTVs are at least 31" wide. Right...

I'm planning to buy a a 3007-HC as soon as I can get a 20% coupon. If you have one and will not be using it please send it to me via PM. I signed up for Dell emails but nothing has come yet... Thanks

Have you tried to fix the dead pixels ? I've successfully used a program for this on several monitors and it usually worked. It would let you draw a little square around the dead pixel(s) and then switch between red, green, and blue color within the square(s) as fast as possible. I would...

Cannot get any drivers to work with my X1900XT (flashed to XTX) with Vista 5308, either 32bit or 64bit. I've tried various drivers supplied with Vista -- none of which are written for the X1900 series -- and also the ATI 5270 beta drivers. Anyone have success with this combination ?

I've been waiting for the TJ-07 for quite a while now. No news on release date, but a few new pictures (10/26/2005) have surfaced. Looks very nice! Same arrangement as the Lian-Li V series without the mainboard inversion, which is good for the heatpipe coolers in boards like the A8N32-SLI and...

Just read about the Opteron 180 -- s939, 1MB cache, 2.4 ghz Basically the equivalent of the Athlon 64 X2 4800+ But price is lower at $799 ! May be a better overclocker too. http://www.itjungle.com/breaking/bn092705-story01.html

Nice job. Any noise problems from fan vibration on the heatsink ? It may be worth putting some small rubber or felt spacers between the heatsink and corners of the fan to keep the two aluminum pieces from directly touching.
