I wasn't aware PPI was a math function. I thought that you could have a 2560x1600 with .233 if you just packed more pixels in there. Hmm... so then it comes down to input lag for gaming and the HP appears to be slightly better than the Dell.

Looking for a monitor with: Pixel Pitch = 0.233 Res = 2560 x 1600 For gaming. I've had my 2407 for years and it's fine but it might be time to pass that down to my Dad and upgrade to something bigger/better. The Dell 3011 only has a ppi of .2505 and the HP ZR30w Does...

Flashed it to 1301 night before last. Got the CPU at 3.6 right now and letting prime95 run to check stability.

Case is a Coolermaster 690 II Not sure if it's a C0/D0. Can check tonight and I'll see how it goes getting to 3.6

So here is why I am considering the 580 GTX. I figured, get a single card now and then when Battlefield 3 releases on the fall, get a second (hopefully at a cheaper price by then), and SLI it. Seemed to me that even if Nvidia comes out with some new card that running them in SLI I'll still...

Corsair AX850 2405fpw I was toying with the idea of OC'ing and I do have a Thermaltake TRUE 120 on there... but I need to reread the how to for that. My previous attempts it'd never boot up. Seems like the logical step.

Currently have: 920 stock Asus P6X58D 9 GB RAM EVGA 285 stock Mostly used for games. Jump to a 580GTX or wait for the correct Sandy Bridge setup and go 2600K? Survey says?

You know when you're playing a shooter and you keep dying and it's always the same guy? He's keeps spouting off about how you're so easy to kill, you suck, etc.. Well I don't have a headset and just once... just once... after I kill him and get revenge, I just want to ask him "Hey, who just got...

Just put it all together and hit the power switch and nothing... The power and reset lights illuminate on the board so I know some juice is getting there. I'm running a PC Power and Cooling 510 SLI and it only has the 6 prong secondary connector. Looks like the manual for the P6T says it...

I've had it 3+ years or so.. I woulldn't be suprised if that's the case here.

I come home tonight and my router appears to be dead. I've hit the reset button and tried it in many different outlets in the house and I don't get any power lights coming on. I'm assuming she's dead...? Probably due to a crappy surge protector which I just found out seems to have short in...

Currently sporting a X800XL and a Sony 19in trinitron SDM-G540 ( I think, 5+ years old) Was trying to decide which to upgrade first. Do I jump to a X1900XT or grab a Dell 2007? I'm thinking graphics card first as the X800XL won't be able to push 1600x1050 that well and the CRT is still...

http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,1945229,00.asp Got the highest rating. Might be time to think about replacing the 19in Trinitron...

Slots..right. :) Orange ones if I recall correctly. Same ones as my Corsairs were in that never threw any errors in Memtest.

I hadn't tried the "Load Optimized Defaults" so this morning before work I fired up it and set that and ran Memtest again. Received an error within the first 3 minutes. Checked the voltage and it was 2.6. Upped it to 2.7 and verified that the timings were being picked up as 2-3-2-5 (and they...
