Well the problem is that I already bought the 8800 GT superclocked back when it was 229.00 at Microcenter. I just wonder if it's worth the upgrade for the exchange. 112 vs 128 stream processors + the better cooler and higher OC ceiling. These are things I wonder about. It will really cost me...

EVGA 8800 GT superclocked: http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0276270 and EVGA 8800 GTS http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0279072 They are separated at $10 each. At a resolution of 1920x1200, does the GTS have a...

Save your cash. The latest installment of UT sucks hard. I've been playing UT since the original Unreal, so I had a lot of faith when I plopped my cash down at the store. Then I realized I'd been had. I'll never send a dime to Epic again.

I uninstalled the profiling software, installed a beta nvidia driver. In text mode, gradients are now smooth, though the other modes still have wierd banding issues. Which mode do you run in?

I can just drop by a pick up a new one as I live near Vernon Hills. When you say Gamma, what do you mean? I went into NVIDIA's control page and made sure that everything was not at wacky levels. I also profiled the monitor with an EyeOne Display 2 and it seemed to make things worse. Instead...

After spending some time taking a good look at this monitor, I found some good and bad things. The good things are that there are no dead pixels, the color is awesome, viewing angles are nice and the input lag and ghosting are low enough that I don't notice either while play fps's. The...

CDW has a Canada division: http://www.cdw.ca/shop/products/default.aspx?EDC=1279546

You're regular computer usage must be a bit more demanding than the average user then. For office, web, and basic photo stuff, my 22 inch TN BenQ does fine. But it is awful for anything more than that. Shadows are the worst offender. But it's always good to see that people who research a...

I'm not sure if you've read this thread at all Draziom, but it almost seems like you work for a competitor. Most LCD companies have poor dead pixel return policies, and most online stores have bad policies as well. This is why I bought this monitor today from CDW and not newegg where I get most...

I considered this monitor, but in the end I didn't want to have to compromise on such an important thing (for me). Input lag and ghosting are the main reasons that I'm going with the 26in Planar over this monitor. I would think that most gamers and tech enthisiasts still would not buy the NEC...

Thanks for the reply EW27. I think I am over the edge on pulling the trigger. I have been reading back into this thread and also saw that one website review. Everything points to buy. Pluses: + low input lag + minimal ghosting + wide gamut + H-IPS (No TN or VA crap) + Easy to read...

I have been mulling over which LCD to buy for months, and it seemed like nothing could satisfy me. I am currently using a 3 year old VA-type Viewsonic 19inch 191b LCD monitor. My needs are hard to satisfy: 1. low to non-existent input lag for FPS's. Buying a 21 inch samsung a while back...

You don't need to limit yourself to a card with HDMI out. There are very cheap DVI to HDMI cables on places like Newegg. The DVI end plugs into your normal graphics card, and the HDMI obviously plugs into the TV. It cost me something like $10 for a cable like this.

I'm looking for recommendations for an easy to use piece of software meant for playing back music using a remote. I have a cheap PIII 800 system that would do nice with a cheap creative card with digital out. All I need is very simple software to allow selection of albums and songs with an...

I went from Azureus to utorrent for a while then back to azureus. Utorrent was nice and small , and my first time using azureas proved it was a resource hog, but I don't have those problems with azureus now that I switched back. It runs fine for me, plus it has more features that I like and I...

Sorry for the delay in response, the forums have not been working nicely for me. Anyway by port I mean a non-physical port like port 80 (http), except in my case it's 5454. I have a few systems that periodically send out a packet on that port. The entire network sees it as the switches are...

I'm looking for a recommendation for solution that would me to segment my network only in that just one port is blocked from one part to the other. All other traffic would need to be able to flow back and forth and everything is on the same subnet. Specifically in this situation a broadcasted...

While the other recommended options seem good, I have been using mediamonkey for the past 2 days. It's features and flexibility have blown me away. There are just so many cool things that help in getting songs properly formatted and organized. While the extra features of the pro version seem...

It seems the consensus is Mediamonkey. I am going to try that first. Thanks again for the recommendations! One does not always get these sort of great responses when posting a question on forums so I truly appreciate it.

Both MP3 tag studio and MediaMonkey are what I'm looking for. Thanks for the help spiper and ilikecake.

I'm looking for software that can rename and organize a varied collection of mp3's. The idea is that it would be one large directory with a standard format like artist-song. I have both windows xp and linux and don't mind using either to get the job done. Ideally I would like the software to...

I've been using a 19in viewsonic LCD for over two years, and I play twitch FPS's without issue (like UT2004 instagib). That was an 8ms panel with overdrive. Today's panels are even better. The biggest thing you need to watch out for is input lag. I bought a Samsung 21 incher a while ago and...

45W sempron looks nice. I wonder if it has an advantage over the 1.6 celeron with it's on die memory controller. It certainly would make the MB cheaper. I do want multiple slots though you never know.... Also do you think that would be similar in power consumption to a PIII? You said your...

I am looking to build a server also for the experience, so a deditcated device like a NAS would not be ideal for me. I can underclock the PIII 800. It is a 133 Bus version, so I can lower that to 100 mhz FSB. I want to do 3x320 hard drives in a Raid 5, or maybe 3x250 if it is a lot more...

Assuming I put a SATA card in the P3 800, would there be any limitation? It would be just me utilizing the machine 95% of the time. As for the E series, do you really thing that is the most power efficient/cost efficient way to go? This is just a simple file/backup server.

I want to build a file server based on Linux on a machine that will be running 24/7. This will be for home use only, so a rackable server is not wanted/needed. Basically I'm looking for suggestions on hardware. I'll be installing a linux based system to host either a samba, ftp or nfs share...

In my opinion, you should always opt for the higher memory card when prices are pretty close, like in this case. Sure, maybe today having 512mb is not a huge deal over 256, but what about in 6 months or a year from now? What if he gets a large monitor before then? With a price discrepancy...

This has been the most informative thread on future card NV news in weeks. Thanks for the info. That said, this current situation is a mess. It's impossible to plan a system upgrade with lack of information and misinformation on other forums. What I want to see is Nvidia releasing their...

Wait until next quarter. Really your system is pretty good. If you are dead set against going with an Intel chip then you should at least wait for the 2.6 Phenoms which I assume would overclock better. As for Nvidia/ATI(AMD), there are rumors of both coming out with more powerful cards in the...

I heard beginning of Feb

Thanks for the suggestions This seems like a promising APP: http://www.aboutmyip.com/AboutMyXApp/DeltaCopy.jsp I'm not sure if that allows me to use the Window's box as a client to connect to a Linux box. I really like the incremental back up features of rsync too. That Advanced...

I am looking for a reliable data transfer solution. I need to save files from my multimedia work station (Windows XP) and a small home LAN to a remote file server. My network is on a 1 gig switch. I want to save to a Linux based file server with a Raid 1 or 5 setup. My plan was to use Ubuntu...

You are right on both accounts. However, they are working on the automatic failover. It is still maturing and is only on version 1.1 right now. That said, I use it. While I really liked clark connect, I feel that for ultimate security, you really need to go with a product that is a dedicated...

I also recommend Kingston and Corsair for SD cards, though I've had no problems with my Sandisk CF cards for my 20D.

I've tried pretty much everything that I could think of and I still can't get it to work right. I have disabled DHCP as well as the DHCP option is the services tab (in administration I think). I set the router as DHCP forwarder, and set the DHCP address as the clarkconnect router. The router is...

Yes the help section in DD-WRT is definitely more helpful. I was able to at one point actually get one of the computers to have the clark-connect's ip addresses. I will try again and see if I can report back any errors in more detail.

Have you considered an excorsim service?

I'm running a clark connect box, and would like all computers on my network use it's assigned IP addresses. I've been trying to figure out how to make my DD-WRT'd linksys router to not assign its own addresses. I've tried disabling DHCP, and changing the WAN port to a switch port. No luck so...

I'd say it would just be easier by a 2nd wireless card for the 2nd computer. They are very cheap. But if you want to make things difficult for yourself, then you will need a crossover cable, or a hub and 2 ethernet cables to connect both computers together. I'm assuming that you have a...
