Remember the patch that came out for it, almost immediatly after the release of vista? (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/931770) But you're right, this should have never happened.

Windows Seven , much cooler, right ?

I had once an Intel P933 that kills motherboards, you wanna try it ? :)

broman, you should set your brightness to 0 and leave the contrast to the standard setting

I also have an yamaha RX-V663 .The pioneer VSX-1018AH-K is also in the same range, maybe a bit better, but that also dependso n the speakers. I think the onky 606 or 706 is also good. the marantz sr4002 or 5002 I can't remember are also pretty good avsforum is pretty much the best site...

thoses upses are probably passive versions, I would recommend active ones, so that the computer gets always the power from the batteries . helps against power drops / spikes

break in is really important, I got a 42px80 (1024*768) only use it for watching movies/series it takes the fisrt 100 hours. you can use a special dvd or just watch series / movies full screen (no logo's) after this , you can still get screen retention, but it will go away after 2-5 minutes...

depends what hardware you buy, I have my current system about 1.5 years now (p35 chipset , q6600 (running at 2.8), 8800gtx , 4 gig ram) kicked out my x-fi card and using onboard spdif now. I think if you choose the right hardware , it can last at least about 18months, and yes that is...

I have also an 2709w, but not really notice the inputlag, I should try a fast game as trackmania or something. pixelpitch is big indeed, but because of it , it is also more relaxing to read from it, unless you are always sitting really close to it. the 3008wfp has an s-ips panel, so alot less...

it comes with the dx updates , c++ redist, dot.net update The first time I installed it , I got a black 'dos' box screen and it dissapeared again, nog error. but that could have been cause by multiple reasons; I had SP2 beta for vista x64 installed, had multiple versions of C++ redists (x86...

try gta iv, I am curious :)

h.264 support for vlc is still heavy under development. and I think your cpu might be a little too slow for 1080p

when you overclock a dual or quad core, it will have a less impact on general usage (Even games ) games are at the moment more GPU bound (unless you go really really low res :) ) faster harddrives might also have a bigger impact than overclocking our cpu. I have 2 raptors (74gig) in raid 0...

also depends if you are going to use spdif (optical or coax)

I am currently using my onboard realtek ALC882 , with optical output to my receiver i am not sure if I get a improvement with other soundards , when using a digital output personally I am waiting for an via envy pci express or an pci express cmedia solution (one that is a bit cheaper than...
