    How to Change Aspect for v2400w

    Just like the title, I'm not sure how I got my monitor into 1:1 pixel mapping @ 1600x1200 for WC3. I had it like that before on my G92, but now it's back to 1920x1200 on my 4870x2. I go to the menu on the monitor, but I can't access the display mode controls, they are grayed out. I'm running a...

    bestbuy.com has the 4870x2 for $469.99 now

    GG ATI, my card came and does not fit into my motherboard (P5Q Deluxe). I can't believe this. There's two caps right at the edge of the board that it seems to hit. My 8800gts g92 fits fine, but I can't seem to get the back part of the card into the PCI-E slot. Idk if it's ATI or Asus's fault...

    Do you remember your first graphics card?

    Let's see, here are the cards that I actually remember. 1) Geforce Riva TNT2 (this was before I knew anything about computers) 2) Geforce 4 Ti4600 (with Tt Orb cooler and ram heatsinks on my custom Voodoo F-Class ~ 2000 for $4300) 3) Geforce 6800Ultra AGP 8x (first built computer with an...

    Cutting ends off cables disrupts power?

    Hi, I have a P182SE and I'm trying to fit the back side panel on, but some of the sata cable end pieces are too thick, causing a buldge (and I broke 3/6 cheap ass plastic links off and am now waiting for my super glue to dry). So my question is, can I cut the plastic end pieces off and not cause...

    Does Samsung license/sell memory to brand like Corsair?

    Hi, I'm presenting an accounting case on Samsung memory. Basically, the case revolves around their decision to ceed the lower market segment (DDR1 ~2004) to the Chinese who are selling at below cost (due to the strong government support) and focus on the high end (DDR2). Anyways, I wanted to...

    BenQ V2400W In Depth Review

    So does anyone know how the 1:1 pixel mapping works on a DVI and/or why my VGA doesn't work? I may be returning if it's just a bad port

    BenQ V2400W In Depth Review

    Ok, when I connect the D-Sub cable to my 7600GS it doesn't recognize any input. The DVI works fine, but the VGA does not. I need the VGA for 1:1 pixel mapping right, as display options are disabled with my DVI. Please help

    Help P5Q-D won't boot

    Question, can you just take a loaded hard drive and plug it into a new computer or do you have to erased the partitions and install a fresh OS?

    Help P5Q-D won't boot

    I'm in dire need on a public computer. I hooked up my system with all brand new gear as follows: E8400 P5Q-D Corsair 4gb DDR2 Dominators 8800GTS (G92) Xonar D2X and I then plugged in my Raptor 150GB that has XP (32-bit) from my old system in SATA1(top red one). The system loads the...

    V2400W vs G2400W vs G2400WD

    I'd recommend a V2400W. I'm actually expecting mine within the hour. @ $409 (before s/h) it's a STEAL. Image is more important to me than the "actual image" as odd as that sounds. Very few will be able to tell the difference btwn the WD vs. the V series's performance but I'm sure you'd get the...

    R700 release date? Any word?

    I'm thinking the last week of July will be a soft release to put pressure on nVidia who will in turn lower the GTX280 to $550 (assuming it's ~= to the 4870X2 & has the benefit of being a single GPU) to the 4870X2's $500 tag. Then it will take 2 weeks for the X2 to actually hit shelves. Just a...

    The Official P45 Asus P5Q Motherboard Thread

    Well it bit the dust a month ago and I replaced it with the only AGP 8x card I could find locally (7600GS). Currently I'm running an FX53 (cost over $800 back in June 04') with an A8V-D, Corsair 2GB 2-2-2-5 DDR400s, in a Silverstone tower. My other system (build a few month afterwards)...

    ATTN: ATi Fans, 4870>260 review inside

    slide doesn't look 3d to me, but then again i need sleep too. Anyways, the 4870 looks great! If it beats the GTX260 then I can't wait to see it crossfired, but more importantly the X2!11!1

    Will my motherboard limit crossfire performance?

    Ya I'm going with an X2 or a GTX280 when it drops to $500 in august. Apparently the p45 blows at crossfire with the top cards and I need the bottom Pci-e for my Xonar D2X anyways. I think the p45 will OC better than the X48 b/c it's cooler so I'm fine with that as I don't play too many games.
