    Nvidia nForce 630i MCP - Does it support PCIe x16 2.0?

    I'm trying to figure out if I can go to the new(er) video cards out on the market and most seem to be PCIe x16 2.0 these days. I can't find any information that says that my motherboard XFX MG-630i-7159 will support the new 2.0 standard. Any advice/guidance is appreciated!

    Just Ordered My Westinghouse L2410NM!!

    Anyone else running Vista using a 630i-based NVidia Mobo with a 7-series GPU and HDMI? I'm having issues where the image quality via HDMI is just crap. I've tried reinstalling the video drivers. No luck. It hurts my eyes. Everything is out of focus. It's like when you hook up a LCD to your PC...

    Jesus and the Mary Chain the Retail box HSFfor the Q6600 is a piece of shite. I wish I had known and I would have ordered a replacement at the same time.

    Just Ordered My Westinghouse L2410NM!!

    Try newer video card drivers ... I had the same thing happen with a Dell running XP and newer drivers fixed it. Also, 1920x1200 is optimal res so update drivers, go into the menu and do the optimize thing and all should be good.

    Thanks man, I didn't realize that you needed to hold down the input button. Auto adjust worked like a champ!

    Just Ordered My Westinghouse L2410NM!!

    I've read part of this thread but not every post so please forgive me if I'm repeating something ... I just unpacked my L2410nm and the built-in GeForce 6150's 1920x1200 puts the desktop off-center. In 1900x1080 it fills the screen (but looks like ass) so I know the LCD is okay. I'm just...

    XM Merging With Sirius Satellite Radio

    Excellent point about Apple. They have had a monopoly over their operating system and hardware for years. No one has complained because you can go buy a PC instead. Both have features the other doesn't (please no BSOD jokes as a "feature of the PC") but because both allow personal computing...

    XM Merging With Sirius Satellite Radio

    I respectfully disagree with your assertions. The FCC has publicly said that they are concerned about both licenses being owned by one company. I would assume that XM/Sirius would keep both for at least the short term. The FCC has options, that was my point. As far as monopolies go, again...

    XM Merging With Sirius Satellite Radio

    This is not a monopoly. The barriers to market entry are artificial and not aggressive monopolistic action by the XM/Sirius entity. The FCC only has two licenses for satellite radio. Obviously, if the FCC was worried about any kind of monopolistic activity by XM/Sirius they could simply issue...

    Monitors for SLi + TripleHead2Go?

    They add new games all the time. The product just came out IIRC so it's going to be an ongoing process. Right now, they are at 120+ games.

    Is it safe to assume that BenQ's FP222W is another 6-bit TN panel?

    DDR400 showing up as DDR333

    Oddly, my PC is running at 400mhz with all four slots filled. It's a 939-based A64 X2 3800+ and a Foxconn NF4SK8AA-KRS

    Sorry, thought it was in my sig. AMD 64 3800+ X2 Foxconn NF4SK8AA-KRS Windows XP (for now) TIA :)

    PC3200 pricing

    Since PC3200 seems to be staying pretty flat at around $170-180 for brand name value DIMMs, should I be looking at perhaps faster DDR and letting it scale down? Can I run 2x 3200 and 2x 3500? I don't think so but I thought I'd ask. TiA

    Buying a large LCD. PC / HDTV use. What are my options for Comcast HD hookup to LCD?
