    Looking for older Antec case component, help?

    I'm trying to track down a 5.25 drive bay cover for my Antec 660AMG (Performance Plus Series). I believe the exact same part was used in the 1080AMG as well. I've tried contacting Antec directly, and they say they no longer have the part. I've been searching for several days online trying to...

    Help with ASRock motherboard...

    Hello all, I'm looking to step up my processor from an old pre-Prescott 3GHz P4 with HT to a new Core 2 Duo (mainly to relieve the CPU bottleneck I'm seeing with my x1950pro AGP card), specifically the E4500. As such, I've found the ASRock 4CoreDual-SATA2 to be a potential stop-gap, since I...

    FS: All In Wonder 9700 Pro

    Hello all. Up for sale is a All In Wonder 9700 Pro (no box) with all included connectors (breakout box, Remote Wonder, etc) MMC and Catalyst CD that came with it. Excellent condition, but upgrading to a eVGA 6800 for the new games (I have an LCD, so native resolution of 1280x1024 is a must)...

    Tough VPN question...

    What I really need is some product advice. My significant other and I will both be connecting to a VPN at work using Cisco's VPN client 4.03. I've gone ahead and purchased the Netgear WGR614v4 since I wanted wireless G as well. I haven't been able to test this yet though, but I have testing with...

    Sony 17" SDM-X73 LCD monitor mini-review

    Nope, I tried everything believe me. I scoured the net for 2 weeks looking for a similar problem report. Couldn't find anything. It was somehow that panel with my setup. And evidenlty the one other person too.

    Sony 17" SDM-X73 LCD monitor mini-review

    I meant replacing it with another brand. I got the Viewsonic VP171B and it never exhibited this problem. After both the X73 AND HX73 doing it, I'm pretty convinced it was something about that panel. Not saying that my components didn't have something to do with it either... but it was definitely...

    Sony 17" SDM-X73 LCD monitor mini-review

    Well, replacing the monitor cured it. And two models with that same panel exhibited the problem. Like I said, it could have been a bad batch that the two of us caught. In all likelyhood I'm sure the monitor will be fine for you. Without that flicker I definitely would have kept it. My...

    Sony 17" SDM-X73 LCD monitor mini-review

    In so much as that I've never seen this same problem mentioned about any other LCD panel... yes... I would call that specific. To answer your question though, I myself was using them both with an ATI AIW9700 Pro, and I believe the other poster was using a an ATI 9600 card. I'll have to find...

    vp171 or sony x73???

    No, it's not speculation. All this proves is that the other manufacturers choose to use the 16.2 million colors which it can display (to the human eye) as opposed to the actual 262,000 color PALETTE that it actually uses to create those colors. I mean come on, all the manufacturers in that chart...

    vp171 or sony x73???

    Nope, they aren't based on the same panel.... same technology. Just meaning that they are both 18bit (262,000) color panels, which can effectively produce 16.2 million colors through dithering. The VP171B(and S) use an AU Opt panel used by MANY others. The Sony supposedly uses it's own panel...

    vp171 or sony x73???

    Ugh... this again. Look the fact of the matter is that Sony uses the same technology as Viewsonic. It may not be the same panel... but it uses the exact same 262,000 color dithering method as ALL OTHER 17' panels, except the HyDis ones (Prophetview and Hyundai Q17), which are 24bit color. The...
