    HD viewing advice please

    Has anyone got one of these, Acer P243W and is it any good??? Currently running a Samsung SyncMaster2232BW (22" @ 1680x1050) which is great, but looking towards playing Blu-Ray, so presumably, despite the Samsung being HDCP ready is it worth the expense of changing it with a 24" @ 1920x1200...

    Help! Best ISS

    Sorry guys but I've never heard of it. Is it a stand alone anti-virus or a full suite? The list was derived from the software packages available from my local supplier here in the UK.

    Which Mobo for 45nm Quads?

    Funny you should mention that, I'd nearly forgotten about it. I've just installed an EX38-DS5 and that also had a small white sticker stuck over where the imprint is for the model identification. Haven't removed it as I wanted to establish that the board worked okay first. But it definitely...

    Which Blu-Ray Reader/Writer?

    Absolutely typical of prices here in the UK. There has been a drop here too of approximately £6 - $12 nothing like your $50 drop, typical. :mad:

    WHICH memory speed?

    OK, so lets assume I stick at stock speeds with either Q6600 or the Q9450 would I benefit from PC-8500 or would I be wasting the extra £5 - $10 that it would cost over the PC-6400 :confused: :D I am also hearing that I would be better off by getting 1x (2x2GB) Dual Channel rather than 2x...

    Which Blu-Ray Reader/Writer?

    X48 DDR2 - Asus vs Gigabyte?

    Gigabyte every time! :) I pondered with both for a very long time, (admittedly it was the Special Edition of the Formula with the NB water cooling) but having read numerous stories of varying degrees of quality of manufacture by Asus and by my own personal experience with my own Asus I decided...

    DS5 OR DQ6 ?

    Thanks. I'm so glad I decided on this board after having supposedly made my mind up on the X48. There really wasn't any benefit to be had. ;) All in all it's a far superior board than the Asus I had. :) Now all I need is one new graphics card and some new memory as I will be donating mine to my...

    DS5 OR DQ6 ?

    Belated thanks for the replies guys only my motherboard finally gave up altogether. Funnily enough two days before I was due to replace it, it must have known. :p Anyhow I decided on the GA-EX38-DS5 for it shares the same board layout as the DQ6 including the new DES (Dynamic Energy Saving)...

    What is your current Operating System?

    Vista Ultimate (32bit for software compatibility) Personally I now think that unless you want the encryption (which is a pain and not as useful as you'd think) or have only single/twin monitors in order to run Dream Scene then Home Premium is the best value.

    DS5 OR DQ6 ?

    Hello This is my first post and I'm from the UK so please be patient with me. Please note that prices in the UK compared to the US are exorbitant so figures given may have no real meaning in real terms to your good selves. I am currently looking into buying a new motherboard and having...
