    DELL UltraSharp 2001FP 20.1-inch

    I just read this in a review on Tom's Hardware: http://graphics.tomshardware.com/display/20040609/lcd_review-02.html How accurate is this? Is this biased towards FPS games? I do play FPS games, but mainly I play RPGs and RTS games.

    DELL UltraSharp 2001FP 20.1-inch

    Heh. That would be neat if it would allow me to have "normal" resolutions/dimensions (like 1600x1200) as the 2005fpw seem to have better contrast than the 2001fp Here's the reason for the urgency. My wife has needed a new monitor for more than 6 months. Her Sony Trinitron crapped out and...

    DELL UltraSharp 2001FP 20.1-inch

    Man, I can't find any coupons that seem to work for this. $561.75 isn't bad, but knowing it was $464 with free shipping recently is a real bummer. Also, anyone have any alternate recommendations for a monitor of similar size and quality, but perhaps a bit better in price or quality...

    DELL UltraSharp 2001FP 20.1-inch

    Thanks for the pictures. I really appreciate it. As for system specs: My PC is a brand new Alienware Aurora 7500. Athlon X2 4600+ GeForce 7800 GTX, 256 meg. 1 gig RAM. My wife's PC is a couple months old. It is an Intel P5 something or other (sorry don't recall), 1 gig ram, and a...

    DELL UltraSharp 2001FP 20.1-inch

    That info on black levels worries me a bit. Crappy black can be annoying. I'll explain our usage and maybe that can also help people with recommendations. About 75% of our time is spent programming or logged into text, online RPGs that we make for a living. The clients that connect to...

    DELL UltraSharp 2001FP 20.1-inch

    Could I get some opinions on this display? http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/ProductDetail.aspx?TabPage=techspecs&sku=320-1578&category_id=4009&c=us&l=en&cs=19 I really dislike wide screen displays, as things never seem to display quite right for non-DVD applications. Also, this is my...

    High End Custom PC Companies

    Ugh. Then ABS is totally out. For that matter, most of the Falcon NW were 4000 and lower. That stinks. So its 4200+ that are X2, right? Any other suggestions for custom manufacturers? I'd build myself but I really don't have the time or the patience these days. :(

    High End Custom PC Companies

    I think we all know about Alienware, VoodooPC, and Falcon Northwest. Frankly, I think those three have been resting on their laurels the last 2 years or so and are no longer very competitive. A few years back, I loved Alienware. Awesome PCs for good prices. Ever since their Best Buy deal...

    AMD FX-55 vs X2 (4200-4800) and Dual Core Technology?

    Ok. Level 1 cache is the same for all these chips so I don't have to worry about that. Cool. Got it. Thank you for solving that mystery. :) When I first look at the above stats, it LOOKS like the 4400 is the best bang for the buck. But then when I read on: I see the logic behind what...

    AMD FX-55 vs X2 (4200-4800) and Dual Core Technology?

    So is it true that the 4400+ for some unknown reason has more cache than 4200+, 4600+, and the 4800+? That is so strange. I'm not going 7800 because those cards are going to be crazy expensive for quite some time. I'll be getting dual 6800 GTs (256 megs of ram). For me, upgrading a video...

    AMD FX-55 vs X2 (4200-4800) and Dual Core Technology?

    I use my computers for gaming and work (I have been making online RPGs for about 10 years). Not only don't I have the time to build it myself, if something goes wrong or is done wrong with a machine, I don't want to be the one responsible. I am not stuck on Alienware though, and would love to...

    AMD FX-55 vs X2 (4200-4800) and Dual Core Technology?

    In looking at a bunch of systems, one of the harder things to decide on is the FX-55 processor vs the various X2 processors. Here is a bit of info from Alienware's site that shows an example of the price differences: When I compare two chips, for example the X2 4600 to the FX-55 (since...
