    FP241VW - BenQ store has a refurb

    Yep. Bear in mind, I would have kept the Doublesight had it not been fucked up. I'm still thinking about holding out for the new one. But the price of the FP241VW sounds just right. I also fully suspect the FP241 monitors are better for what I'm looking for than virtually *any* TN, including...

    FP241VW - BenQ store has a refurb

    Thanks, 10e, as always. What do you mean by that? That seems kinda important because one of the functions of this display, for me, is to be hooked up to my HD-DVD player (for upscaling standard def DVDs). Yeah, Jonathan, I had the Doublesight and loved it for the 2 hours it worked. When I...

    FP241VW - BenQ store has a refurb

    So, a refurbished FP241VW for $445 in the Clearance Shop. I always wish I knew what they mean by "refurbished" - anyhow, that's a pretty damn good price for that monitor from what I gather. The new ones are backordered at the moment with no available date listed. I guess I'd like some...

    Doublesight DS-263N - Good, Bad, and Unacceptable

    So I just got one of these famed DS-263N panels directly from Doublesight. The Good: Bright, clear, and large workspace. The panel can be tilted to an acceptable range of use. I actually like the little menu "nub" and find it easy to use. The Bad: There's some sort of horizontal, wavy...

    Overclocking Q9300....in Dell XPS 420.

    So, I'm out of options for overclocking this XPS 420, because the BIOS quite simply doesn't allow for it. However, I *can* physically alter the CPU. There's a guy who overclocked his Q6600: http://home.austin.rr.com/waterdogs2/xps420.htm So... 1. Does anybody here think this trick...

    Some early 4870 overclocking results

    Just scored a 12,816 with everything set to default on 3DMark06. I guess I need to overclock the CPU / GPU to see a significant increase? Here's the breakdown: SM2.0 Score: 4901 HDR/SM3.0 Score: 6077 CPU Score: 3731

    Some early 4870 overclocking results

    I actually don't have a clue how to overclock a CPU. Sorry, forgot to mention I was running 1680x1050 resolution. I'll run it again at the standard resolution. Anybody know how I can force the 4870 to do Vertical Synch? The tearing drives me crazy sometimes.

    Some early 4870 overclocking results

    I just scored a mere 12,369 on my first run of 3DMark06. With a stock, 750MHz 4870 inside a Q9300 (also running stock @ 2.5GHz)...do I just suck or is this about what I can expect? Oh, resolution: 1680x1050

    Post your 4870 temperature

    Idle: 41°c @ 40% Fan Speed

    Catalyst Control Center not opening?

    Yeah, I uninstalled the factory install of CCC, then downloaded the latest Hotfix version. Everything is working fine now. Thanks everyone.

    Catalyst Control Center not opening?

    I've just discovered ATI Catalyst HD 4800 Hotfix for Vista, maybe that will solve my problems...I already have .NET Framework 2.0 installed.

    Catalyst Control Center not opening?

    Okay, well, I had a previous install of CCC for a Radeon 2400. Now I've installed a 4870, so I guess I need a different CCC? Anyhow, what is "Hotfix"?

    Catalyst Control Center not opening?

    Hello, I've never run CCC on this new machine (32-bit Vista with .NET Framework installed). When I click on CCC, the hour glass spins momentarily, but nothing shows up on my desktop or elsewhere for that matter. Am I missing something blatantly obvious?
