Replying to thread.

Oh I agree. If it was my money I wouldn't buy the highest end. But in this case the computer is a present. If I bought a lower end card I'd have no hope of seeing the saved money so it wouldn't matter.

I didn't know that. Well, in this case I'll order it all from them just because I'm too lazy to sign up at another site and want to get it all done in one swift order :D In normal condition I would but I live in a somewhat hot environment and don't have very good air conditioning. Seeing the...

Sorry, forgot to add that to the OP: I won't be overclocking anything. In this case I value having it all in the same tidy package over the saved 20$.

My P4 2.4 Ghz and Radeon 9800 Pro are getting a bit long in the tooth. I've stopped playing games made within the last few years since I think the experience would be significantly lower compared to what I could have. Case: COOLER MASTER Centurion 534 Motherboard: EVGA nForce 650i Ultra...

Good article. Shame there isn't much competition this generation. DX10 performence also makes me a little weary since I'll be getting a 8800 GTX and Vista soon. Typo fixed, thanks - Brent

I'm pretty sure monitors don't have service tags. I searched around for it myself and than did a search on the dell forums, where according to some, they don't. And unless someone forgot to put the sticker on the back of my monitor, it would seem to be true. You have to call them up to get a...

That gradient has been wrecked by jpeg compression. Try this .png of the same gradient and see if you still have it. I personally (I have the dell monitor by the way) don't see any banding. I thought I did when viewing the image with windows picture viewer or whatever it's called, but...

From the Flight Simulator X Wikipedia page:

Got the replacement. Still dead pixels, and whadya know, another cluster. Luckily it's at the bottom right, so I don't think it'll annoy me much. (Late edit) Oh, and something else I forgot about before I posted. I had the flashing in the grays issue that some people talked about on my old...

After using it for awhile, I'm happy with almost everything about the monitor - except the fact that it has about 10 dead pixels. Normally I wouldn't care because I have to look real hard to even see them, but on the upper left side of the screen, there is a cluster line of 3 dead pixels...

Rev 04 Made In Mexico, RT803

1000 if I remember right. Pretty sure they were refurbs too.

Only the first patch doesn't support saved games. 1.0003 supports them and future versions should, but obviously I can't guarantee they will.

(Raises hand) If you can show me a site that has trailers for movies in HD that use a different format, I'd uninstall Quicktime.
