I guess what I'm taking away from this is that basically the 2711 and 2410 are for all intents and purposes identical except for resolution and screen size, and the 2311 is one inch smaller and it uses slightly different technology?

Really, gaming isn’t nearly as important as photo editing / graphic design for me at this time. SC2, yeah, I’m gonna be playing it, as I will also play other stuff, but the purpose of this monitor isn’t really for that. I’ve never noticed input lag or had problems with response rates, so I’m not...

Okay, so I’m currently using a Viewsonic vx2025wm, which has worked well enough for me in the past, but I’m getting a lot more into photography lately, as well as web/graphic design and some video editing, so I’m looking to get something more accurate (and bigger too). I’m trying to decide...

Ah. Well, I just checked the specs page and it looks like my memory is 2-3-3-6 whereas the other one mentioned is 3-3-3-8, which I believe is slower. I was under the impression that in order to retain the speed of the memory I have I'd have to get equal or faster memory.

I just noticed this this is apparently identical but not "Dual Channel" - what does that mean?

I run XP x64, and from what I've heard, the bottleneck for image processing in Photoshop is often memory. I think it'd be the easiest thing to upgrade for me, anyway. Is there something else that might make a major difference?

So, I'm getting a new camera and I need to up my memory to handle the gigantic raw files I'll be dealing with. I don't know an awful lot about memory - I was under the impression that all memory on your system has to be identical, but I was recently told this is not always true. Anyway, the...

Okay, so I’ve been having this issue on and off for months now. Every once in a while, I will do something, be it open a program, enter an address in a browser, and whenever I click “enter” and the process begins, my computer locks up for several seconds, and I get this blue screen of death...

I tried setting up the range extender with all sorts of different channels, but it wouldn't implement the changes. The main router is set to automatically detect the channel. And those were the correct IPs you were using, default stuff.

No, I'm not using Vista on any of the computers. As for the tests, I am unable to connect to the internet at all now, perhaps I'd have different results if I ran it in the morning, but I ran them all just now and they all come back "Request timed out" over and over.

I’ve recently had a very strange networking issue. I normally use my computer upstairs, which is connected via Ethernet cable to the router which is right next to it. This is also a wireless router, and I have another computer downstairs that accesses it wirelessly. When we first moved into this...

Hm, the MX518 is pretty similar to the one I have now I believe (MX510) and it's a little small. The Lachesis looks a little slim too. The G9 looks good, wide for my hand, but kind of stubby. It doesn't seem like anybody makes big mice like the original Explorer anymore, though the...

I am currently looking for a new gaming mouse - I use the MX510 now, but I need a new one since my other mouse died and I'm gonna move this to the old comp, and a new mouse for this comp. The most comfortable mouse I have ever used was the original Intellimouse Explorer (the one with the big...

After I get the OS installed, how do I "plug the old drive into another sata port as a slave"? How do I ensure the computer knows it's the slave drive, and not the master?

Ok, I'm gonna get a new SATA drive and do as you guys said. When I do get it, how do I hook the new SATA up as master and the old as slave? is there something in the bios I have to mess with? Or do I just install windows on the new HD, and then reboot with the old drive plugged in also? In that...

Ok, I tried memtest with the ram that I had before, and was supposedly working, and it all checked out - apparently it works. I used some compressed air to blow some of the dust out of my computer as well, just in case. I still do have the problem, but I did notice something that may be of...

So close... and yet so far. I plugged in my HD and booted with the one memory stick removed, and it booted to the desktop - just the background though, no icons, nor could I right click. It was my custom background though. I rebooted, and the second time it booted fine, all my old icons, all was...

I unplugged one of my sticks of memory, and it booted to the windows setup. As far as I can tell, this is pretty solid proof that the memory is the problem - however, if the HD is still a suspect, I am reluctant to put it back in the drive for fear of additional damage. Should I still play it...

I don't think my DVD-R is the problem. As I said, it works hooked up to a different PC, and I tried swapping the ribon cables in my PC in case that was the problem, but it didn't fix anything.

I was talking regarding the idea of transferring the files from my "defective" hard drive to a new drive, but since my current drive won't boot, I'm gonna have to use another drive. Could I just take a drive out of another computer and use that, or do I have to have a drive that is specially...

I think this is a pretty important development. I tried booting up my computer from the XP x64 CD WITHOUT MY HARD DRIVE IN THE COMPUTER. It failed - same error I got before: "File \AMD64\ntkrnlmp.exe could not be loaded. The error code is 4 Setup cannot continue. Press any key to...

I just discovered that my computer does have a way to attach an ATA drive - using the DVD player's cable. So now I guess the next step is to put a different HD in there to test it out. Can I just take one from another computer, without having to set anything up, clear the drive, reinstall...

Huh... that just might work. I assume it works okay, but it looks like there were some negative reviews for it on there, and it seems like a shame to spend 12 bucks on something I'll use once, and might not even work, when I could get a low capacity hard drive for fairly cheap... Anybody...

Ok, I'm looking at the other computer, which uses ATA, but mine has SATA. I don't suppose there's an adapter or anything? Thanks for all the help.

I've been told that setting up this drive as a slave to another on a different computer would allow me to back everything up with minimal risk. Is this true?

I'm not sure what you mean. I booted into safe mode with command prompt and typed "chkdsk", and it went through and searched anr repaired stuff. I didn't get to it through the recovery console.

I don't have access to a CD burner - the cd burner is on the screwed up computer. I might be able to get a friend to do it, but I'm still a little unclear as to how that would help. Anyway, when I said I ran chkdisk from safe mode, I mean to say it did work, and it said it repaired some...

It may be worth noting that when I go into the safe mode command prompt, I can stay there indefinitely. Dunno if that's important, but I'm really hanging on to any possibility that it's not the HD. If, God forbid, it is the HD, is there any way to get some stuff off of there in the condition...

about 2 years I guess.

Last night, I noticed images on my computer were displaying strange – color and alignment were off, etc. Then, Firefox started crashing, very frequently. Eventually, my computer just up and crashed. I tried rebooting, and it would get pretty far, windows logo screen, or the user select screen...

I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions on whether 6500k or 9300k, and what brightness/contrast settings people use (I use this primarily for gaming, though I do use it for web surfing, web design, and office stuff...but really optimal settings for PC games would be apreciated). I know...

By the way, I was under the impression that using component cables for cable TV would be a significant reduction in quality from DVI. This would be great if they were the same quality, as I would be able to use PIP to play PS3 while watching TV the same way I do with my PS2.

Thanks for the great info guys, I am seriously considering one of those monoprice switches. I want one with at least 4 inputs really, with Gears of War coming out, I might end up getting a 360 too. However, I think I may wait a few months until the PS3 comes out and/or I get an upconverting DVD...

Thanks for the info. I also notice most of the switches are HDCP compliant, and I believe that the PS3 is as well, but I'm not sure if my TV is (I believe it may not be, I got it in 2003). From what I understand, this will not be a problem in the short term, but in the long term, I may have some...

I currently have a Hitachi HDTV (65S700), and it only has one DVI port, which I currently use for cable TV. I also occasionally attach a DVI cable from my PC, having to swap cables, which is kind of an ordeal. The real problem is when I get a PS3, and I will have to be switching even more...

I'm just a little mixed up on what HDCP will do, once Vista comes out. I won't be playing DVDs or Blu-Ray/HD-DVD videos on my PC, nor will I be hooking this monitor to my PS3/360. I'll be using it for PC games and downloaded videos and the like. Will HDCP still be a problem?

Huh, thanks for the info Domingo. I just saw one at office depot, but it was in the light and I wasn't able to play games and such, but it looked great. I'll mostly be playing in pretty dark conditions too, so it's hard to tell how I'll like it, but from what I saw, I was impressed. So does...

I recently used the 2 DVI ports in my card to compare my dad's 19 inch AOpen LCD with my 20 inch CRT, and overall I think I prefer the LCD. The blacks are much darker, though there was a lot of it and it was sometimes difficult to differentiate between really dark shades and colors. The colors...

I have a 7800GTX now, which I'm sure would be fine for a good while, but I'm just worried that I may be forced to upgrade my card earlier than I'd like to. I guess I'm just wondering if an LCD is really worth it.
