    Achieva Shimian QH270| $400 IPS 2560x1440 Korean Monitor

    this is amazing! Not half the price of u2711, but 2/3 still sounds wonderful! But, why all the fuss about higher refresh? Only benefit i see is possibility of 3D, so please open my eyes for hidden treasures :D

    W7 extending desktop and downscaling to monitor resolution?

    Hi all, I've been googling for a while now for a solution how to extend my desktop and downscale image to monitor resolution. Is there any software that can emulate virtual monitor, simply zoom out everything, something else? The idea came from teamviewer software, when I log from my notebook...

    Low performance w/M4 on P67A-UD7

    oh, you want to raid a 128 one and 256 gb one. Huh, I have no idea. Its probably possible, but I think you'd end up with 256GB raid0 volume. Someone else would be better at answering that. Or... You can always try and see what happens :)

    Low performance w/M4 on P67A-UD7

    great speeds, that's how it's supposed to be. you can raid0 smaller drives, but if I'm not mistaken, that will additionally increase boot time. Have never done that myself, however, so that's just my logic. speed increase should be from RST installed, not from disabling marvell...

    Low performance w/M4 on P67A-UD7

    :) you don't have to use sleep if you dont want, that was just a suggestion. Bud proof it can be used is apples air for example, that's default power down method as i understand. Second, most ultrabooks today say their system boots in seconds, that's true only for sleep scenario and...

    Low performance w/M4 on P67A-UD7

    whoever told you that sleep is bad for your ssd is simply telling you a bunch of crap. Sandforce controllers had/have issues with s3 state, but others work like a charm and nothing happens to them. Hybernation on the other hand is mostly recommended to be turned off because it saves some space...

    Low performance w/M4 on P67A-UD7

    what really puzzles me is why are you bothered by few seconds of boot time? how many times a day do you turn your computer off? If many, why not simply put it to sleep and restart every now and than? That is drawback of having high end board with lots of "new" tech. :)

    Low performance w/M4 on P67A-UD7

    yes, you have two usb3, one for back panel and second for front (input slot on motherboard). Try searching for some other driver or problem with that model of usb controller, you'll probably stumble upon a solution if there is one. :) about no welcome screen, don't worry about it, sometimes it...

    Low performance w/M4 on P67A-UD7

    ok, please post CDM benchmark again. Your initial windows benchmark was way off. It looks like the reason for preboot slowups might be that ud7 is filled with LOTS of gadgets that needs to be initialised first in bios/efi, doesn't matter. Since boot time is consisted of 2 processes, bios...

    here you'll find intel latest RST, try installing that and report back the results. Who knows what gigabyte has on their web site. In general, try avoiding vendor specific drivers unless you absolutely need some included feature. ssd firmware should not be an issue, it works ok on other...

    Low performance w/M4 on P67A-UD7

    what are overclock settings for first and what for second picture? Do try to put everything on stock and disable all 3rd party gadgets onboard as marvell controller, usb3, whatever so that doesn't interfere. it looks to me that you have driver issues. Is it fresh windows install? Do you use...

    SSD upgrade - SATA2?

    don't worry, you won't notice anything much. Main advantage of ssd is how they operate with small files. Sequential speeds don't matter that much, and small file r/w speeds on qd1 aren't limited by any sata controller, even sata1. Going to sata3 controller would boost speeds allright, but so...

    Your favorite monitor of all time

    my favourite is HP LP2065, 4:3 1600x1200 S-IPS... I love that thing, too bad it's not in use any more, but still collects dust under my desk. It seams I can't part with it. For picture quality and usability it single handedly beats 200WP7ES, L220X and IPS231 together, that I had afterwords...
