    Upgrade from 920 to SB/IB with retail edge?

    I am at a similar point, note. I have a 920 with far less ram, but I think I can get into IB for very little cash. Especially since I think I'll go from i7-920 to i5-3570. I just don't see the performance gain at this time in i7-3770. That $100 can go to a lot.

    Ivy Bridge had to be made and it's brought good things but....

    I think in all of this only a couple people have pointed out the lower power consumption and effective heat generation as a result of 22nm process. For me, this was a reason to wait for IB over SB had I been itching for an upgrade anytime in 2012 so far. To me the OC max is being hugely...

    I can't decide if I want an Ivy Bridge or Sandy Bridge

    Any thoughts on the value of an eVGA SLI X68 with 6GB 1600 Ram, an i7 920 and an EnzoTech HSF would be? I am thinking of making the switch to IB even though the performance seems very similar to my 3.6GHz OC 920, but am curious what my out of pocket would be. I think I would do it if I could...

    ION vs H55/H67 for HTPCing

    I am definitely intrigued by the Atom/Ion board. Fanless HTPC sounds like something I want. Valve, I sent you a PM.

    What to get? 2007FP or 2007WFP

    I just ordered a total of four 2007fp LCDs. I'm pretty excited. I just need to decide if I want to spend 100 dollars on an active dp adapter.

    Anyone bought a 2007FP from Dell lately?

    I purchased a group of these today. They had 4 that had SN ending in L, so I picked up all four. I think my sis' boyfriend is taking one or two. Edit - I answered my question. And now I know that I will be keeping three of the four 2007s for myself until ATi patches multi-res setups. At...

    600hz Plasma running @ 60hz?

    I have an older Pioneer Plasma 720p. The only downsides to plasma vs LCD that I can think of are the following: 1.) Higher Electrical Consumption. We are talking on a level of a few dollars per year. 2.) Plasmas have a phosphor screen like a traditional television. Unlike DLP and LCD Plasmas...

    Want to upgrade to HP ZR30w, how does 1280x800 gaming look on it?

    I just finished my PC build tonight. Gigabytes of data are being downloaded to the new machine now. I have a Dell U2001W on loan from my brother in law while I decide what I want in the way of a monitor. I am definitely looking at this HP and a Dell U3007-HC. I have a nice digital SLR and I...

    Best 30" monitor - 2010 edition!

    So, a used 3007Wfp-HC that is guaranteed to be free of dead pixels for $750 is not too far off, right? I am looking for an all-around good display. I will play games on it (SCII, Civ IV and V, WoW, TF2, etc) but I will also do a lot of digital darkroom work and maybe even some video editing...

    Just pulled the trigger on a no review monitor(New Asus Model)

    Thanks for the reply and the link. That was helpful. I look forward to reading your thoughts on this fellow. You seem to have a nice collection of LCDs in your recent history.

    Just pulled the trigger on a no review monitor(New Asus Model)

    Has anyone had a chance to compare this to the Dell U2311? I know, different techs, different screen size... but just about the same price. Thanks.

    Just pulled the trigger on a no review monitor(New Asus Model)

    I thought I had my mind all made up on a 25.5" 16:10. Now I go and read this. Hmm. It is $100 cheaper and 16:10 which I somewhat prefer. But this looks NICE. Anyone have an issue with the DPI/pixel pitch?
