    New web host reviews site

    I've just launched a new type of web host reviews site, called The Designer's Host. It has a focus on only the best looking, well designed hosts out there. However, the user reviews are focused on quality, and not design. At the moment, it is lacking reviews. I would love if the community...

    HP 8710w Laptop refurb/open box perfect cond.

    Thanks. Sorry I ended up being on of those who don't ready the rules. I'm fairly certain now I'm within the limits. I'm not linking to ebay, I mentioned for sale, and I stated a price. I didn't see anything in the rules about not mentioning the item is on ebay or requesting that buyers go to...

    when you lower the native resolution

    those are all good points, and I suck at deciding on these things, lol. I love how high the res is for general use, but it still bothers me for designing, and I've tried lowering the res and changing the browser res with addons, but I don't like the slight inconvenience. I'd prefer one res...

    when you lower the native resolution

    well that's sucks to hear, lol. I'm going to give it a shot for a week or so, take it to work, and see if I can live with designing in such a high res workspace. it would be perfect for photo editing, but when I have to build websites and make sure they compatible with as low as 1024x768...

    when you lower the native resolution

    I recently got a new laptop, well I bought it refurbished. Its an HP 8710w. It's very very nice, and has a WUXGA matte anti-glare 1920x1200 native screen resolution which is super sharp and clear. When I lower the resolution to anything else; 1680x1050 or 1440x900, everything looks a bit fuzzy...

    Intel or nforce chipsets?

    not quite sure what you mean by that. but anyway, it sounds like the intel chipest should be just fine. I dont need hdmi, and I will not be using the on board graphics. so, there is really no major gain by choosing one or the other?

    Intel or nforce chipsets?

    I'm looking for a micro atx board, and I dont know much about the chipsets. I'm more familiar with nforce, but most of the mobos I've been looking at use Intel north and south bridges. so, is one better than the other? Intel G31 north Intel ICH7 south or NVIDIA GeForce 7050/nForce 610i
