    Anyone using the Adaptec 6805E Raid Card?

    I'd like to disagree here. I'm using the 6805E in both a Linux and a Windows box, one with 6x WD 500GB the other with 8x Samsung 320GB drives (both in RAID10), and the performance is stellar. Sequential read speeds are close to a multiple of the number of drives (500 MB / s or more), and random...

    AMD hexa-core or Intel Sandy Bridge quad-core for OpenVZ/KVM?

    I am looking to build a couple of new servers that will host OpenVZ and KVM virtual machines. As our experience shows, usually disk IO wins over processor performance in the long run, so there is no point in buying Xeon or Opteron grade hardware for us at 3-4x the price per server, we are better...

    Raid 5 Stripe size ?

    Actually, the relation between RAID stripe size and common access size works the other way, against common wisdom. According to 3ware, if you plan to do a lot of sequential accesses to large files (like video editing) a smaller stripe size is recommended, like 64k. But if you gotta to do a lot...

    Fellow LG W3000H owners?

    This is a very good choice, a friend of mine has it and it's an absolutely beautiful monitor.

    Fellow LG W3000H owners?

    I believe calling someone retarded does not constitute a normal conversation. My list simply details the negatives of the LG monitor, everything else that you imply has nothing to do with me. BTW the strong green cast also happens to be mentioned by the OP, so I suspect its a design flaw, which...

    Fellow LG W3000H owners?

    Based on specs and reviews, I'd ordered the LG W3000H, but in real life it had a couple of issues that made me decide to get my money back the day I got it. Honestly I never believed that a monitor in the $1500 price category could be so awful: - entire picture had a strong green tint (even...

    Dell 3008 input lag

    Well, I for one don't believe you. I'm not saying you are lying, I just can't believe that the i1 Display 2 calibrated a DELL 3008WFP or a HP 2475 successfully. You might not know what to expect, you might think the resultant profile is good while it has nothing to do with colorimetrically...

    Dell 3008 input lag

    BTW with respect to the subject of this thread, you can find my mini input lag test of my DELL 3008WFP in the thread below: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1413291 My results show an average 27ms input lag, considerably less than what other reviews found.

    Dell 3008 input lag

    Actually, you should stay away from the Eye-One (i1) Display 2 if you have a DELL 3008WFP. Several users - including me - are having problems calibrating wide gamut monitors with this calibrator, due to the fact that its filters are not compatible with wide gamut color primaries and/or...

    DELL 3008WFP input lag test

    I did the test with both displays in the same resolution (1280x1024, which is a scaled one for the DELL), as well as in it's native 2560x1600. There was no significant difference in the data between the two modes. BTW 2560 is not "hard to achieve on a CRT", it's impossible.

    DELL 3008WFP input lag test

    I have no idea what you are talking about. I've devised and executed a test I thought would correctly and precisely show input lag compared to a CRT, and it did. For some people, no amount of effort is enough... I meant VGA cable plugged into a DVI output via dongle. Whats the matter with you...

    DELL 3008WFP input lag test

    I got fed up with the lack of reliable information on the net about the input lag of the DELL 3008WFP. While some tests claim it has around 50msec of input lag, my own subjective testing never revealed anything perceptible, and I do play fast paced FPS games (like Quake 3 Arena). To make...

    Problem calibrating the DELL 3008WFP monitor

    I've tried to calibrate this monitor in every setting it had in the OSD: PC Normal, sRGB, Adobe RGB and of course my custom RGB setting for a nice white point. This is not the problem. The problem is that the i1 Match software (and the i1 Display 2 puck) fail to create a decent profile: the...

    Problem calibrating the DELL 3008WFP monitor

    Before calibration, I double checked that no display profile is set, and the ATI control panel is not overriding color balance or saturation. Next, I've set the monitor to 33 brightness and 66 contrast to achieve a good black level. Then I set the Custom RGB profile in the menu, and tweaked the...

    Wide gamut question

    Normal RGB images on a wide gamut monitor look overly saturated, sometimes even with a neon feel to them (especially reds and greens). sRGB mode on the DELL 3008WFP is unacceptable. Colors are off, sharpness is weird and the entire screen just looks disturbing, not a tiny bit similar to a...
