    Dell U2311H

    Actually, they said the expected ship-date is April 6th. Could this mean that we would be getting a new revision? Or is this kind of shipping date standard with DELL?

    SLI/Crossfire Uncertainty

    Thank you all very much for the really helpful posts. Now I see why this type of thing is hard to answer, because it depends on a number of variables. How you use it, and how it CAN be used. So one important thing to take form this is the Hz of the monitor that one plans to use...

    SLI/Crossfire Uncertainty

    Wow, tough crowd around here. Like, the bronx of computer forums lol CPU is 2500K i5, noted above. Games are noted above. I will probably play Metro and Crysis, but I have so much to catch up, will be awhile before I get to the big guns. Probably Dragon Age 2 and D3 will be as big as I...

    SLI/Crossfire Uncertainty

    Thanks! However I have heard that at 1920x1080, SLI doesn't really improve things all that much. Or, is it when AA and the like get to the top, that SLI becomes favorable? Example 2x GTX 560 Ti w/SLI OR 1x GTX 580 Does it matter at that point, in my resolution?

    New Monitor help

    Time to upgrade

    TFT Selector is a good place to start. You can put in your general price ranges (have to convert, and say what you plan to do with it. The author makes it pretty easy to do that. If you are not overly concerned about being perfect, the Dell Ultrasharp monitors seem to work for a lot of...

    In depth monitor questions.

    Thanks a lot! The links were very useful. I found that particular monitor before, just found too many conflicting things on the internet about them. My monitor would be for gaming, and text-book ready for University. Mostly just gaming as not all classes I have went digital yet. So...

    In depth monitor questions.

    Hello, the greatest hardware forum that ever existed! I started making a computer for myself only about a month ago. I did this WAY back 8 years ago or so when I was into this sort of thing. In university, they made Macs seem way to convenient to use anything else, so I did and forgot about...
