    Best widescreen LCD monitor?

    My friend has a VGA-out box for his xbox. Well worth the $50. The dell 20" is only capable of 1680x1050 - this is fine by me (since it lets me game at native resolution comfortably without an SLI setup), if you want it 1080p, that might be an issue. I have no 'color shift' issues with the...

    Best widescreen LCD monitor?

    Never seen the HP, so can't comment on it. I own the Dell, as does a friend (who recommended it to me). I absolutely love it. Works amazing for PC usage/games, and Halo2 looks friken amazing on it. I got it through one of those Dell deal-of-the-day thingys, cost me $500Cnd brand spanking...

    Is the 7800GT Loud...?

    My eVGA 7800GT CO is pretty queit. About as loud as my old 9500Pro. Slightly quieter than my old Volcano7 CPU cooler... I have no problems, but would look elsewhere for a HTPC (but then, I think the only good HTPC is a fanless HTPC, so maybe I'm not a good judge)

    ATi What happened?

    Very nice little history lesson, couldn't have put it together better myself. I'd like to add in that the Geforce2 did have a bit of competition before the Radeon started to really pick up steam (when they changed their naming and had the 7500 higher clocked version) and that was the Kyro2...

    A8N-SLI Premium, conflict with Audigy?

    I moved the Soundblaster last night to a different PCI slot and that seemed to fix the issue... of course, I only had to do that because manually setting my ram stopped the bios from posting, and the only way to clear the cmos involved removing the sound card so I could remove the battery...

    Jeff Yates, Havoc, and your GPU

    I'm just going to chim in that I personally really like the idea of a hardware physics, though the initial prices scare me. I do like the idea fo a second cheap GPU such as an X1300 doing it dedicated (aka not even pretending to help out with the graphics). Having worked with a poor...

    X1800 Temps

    This reminds me of when the original Rage128 came out. Alot of reviewers were commenting on just how hot it got (something like 80C), and a bunch of integrators were afraid to put it in systems for fear it would damage other parts of the computer ... ATI eventually secame to pressure put active...

    WTB: 7800GT in Canada

    I lurk here often, and I must say, I'm terribly envious of you south of the border who can get deals from NewEgg... I'm looking a building a new system with a 7800GT, but around here the cheapest I can get one is $540Cnd. The hotdeals lists several in the neighbourhood of $350US (~$400Cnd)...
