    Dell E5515H for regular use and gaming??

    I just found that dell has this 55" monitor with 1920x1080 resolution, and I am wondering if it's good for regular desktop use and gaming. My desktop is 7-year old and the video card is 9800GT with 512 mb memory, so the resolution is perfect, not too high. My concern is if it's gonna be too...

    e5700 or e6800?

    My fsb could go up to 400 no problem, which makes the speed to 400*8=3.2Ghz. But I was afraid it was too much for my mb, cause its spec says 800/1066/1333 FSB, and my north bridge will be very hot.

    e5700 or e6800?

    A used e8400 is about $100-105. Not a bad price. But its stock speed is 9x333= 3Ghz already. I am afraid my fsb wont go up stable. Comparing 4Ghz with 2mb cache and 3Ghz with 6mb cache, I really don't know which one is better in gaming. What I most care is the minimum fps.

    e5700 or e6800?

    PC gaming lag on a 40in TV, similar resolution

    okay, I found the problem. In Nvidia Control Panel -> Change Resolution -> refresh rate, choose 59Hz instead of 60Hz. Now my frame rate keeps smooth all the time just like before ;)

    PC gaming lag on a 40in TV, similar resolution

    I turned the FPS display on. Actually the frame rate is choppy. Since I have v-sync turned on, I notice the frame rate drops to 2x-3x in intensive fight, while it stays on 60 when nobody is around me. I also lower the resolution to 800x600. Choppy frame rate happens as well. I don't remember...

    Where to buy a cherry G80-3000 keyboard?

    Hi, Recently I am trying to buy a Cherry G80-3000 Keyboard. Most of the online retailers have two models: G80-3000LPCEU-0 and G80-3000LSCRC-2. I prefer a one with linear action, which is G80-3000LPCEU-0. I have ordered on three different stores, but all of them refunded my credit card due...

    help with E8400 and GA-P35-DS3L OC

    I have the same mobo. The spec says it supports rated FSB 1000/1333, which is 4 x CPU FSB. If FSB > 400, then rated FSB is > 1600. I guess it won't work on such a high value. Just my guess. I have E2140 (1.6G) oc to 3.2G. CPU FSB set to 400, and 8x multiplier. If you can raise multiplier...
