    Phenom or Bulldozer

    I think you might be mistaken. Here is a quote from the official AMD website:

    Phenom or Bulldozer

    I was wondering: Isn't a Phenom II 980 a better choice? I mean, which software really does fully take advantage of 6 cores*? The 980 is clocked @3,7GHz, compared to 3,3GHz of the 1100T, which has a Turbomode(3,7GHz) but only when it uses 3 or less cores. And the 980 is cheaper. * AutoCAD...

    5850 scaling in crossfire with latest drivers

    The 6800 series scale really well in CF compared to the 5800 series. I was wondering if the reason for this are the latest drivers or the 6800 architecture. The reason I want to know is because 5850 prices are dropping which makes buying two of those puppies very attractive. One 5850 is cheaper...

    HSF recommendation for 550BE

    I just received my 550 BE (CACYC 0923bpaw, this stepping any good?). I haven't decided what HSF to buy, so I wanted to use the stockfan first. I was thinking about the Xigmatek HDT-S1283, which I can order at a lokal store, but I saw two version: CAC-SXHH3-U02 and XIG-RED-SCORP-S1283. I assume...

    Post your Phenom II and Sempron unlock or failed unlock results here.

    Question: Does bios F5 have the ec firmware selection=hybrid setting? I assume it does, but as far as I know Gigabyte also complied to AMD's wishes to remove the unlock capabilities of motherboards with 710/750, at least in the US where they supposedly removed all biosses capable of unlocking.

    Post your Phenom II and Sempron unlock or failed unlock results here.

    Question: which motherboard builders ignore AMD's request to pull biosses with unlock capabilities? I know ASUS doesn't. I wanted to buy the new M4A79XTD EVO mobo, so I mailed support and got this answer: Pussies!:P

    Athlon II X4 Take 2

    The Romanian guy from xstremesystems.org forum had one, so I assumed those must be the denebs. I was probably wrong in my assumption, just like I was wrong in assuming that fab 1 in Dresden wasn't ready to massproduce Propus cores yet. I heard they had production problems. I should have said the...

    Athlon II X4 Take 2

    I am looking at upgrading my old Athlon single core system. I have been reading and both the Athlon II X4 620* and the Phenom II 550 seem to be Deneb cores, which means both can be unlocked to become a Phenom II X4 processor. As I understand, the 550 can be overclocked a bit higher than the 620...

    Finally got my 30" W3000H-BN

    I got mine as well this week, and I have to say it has exceeded all of my expectations. It's cheap compared to other 30" monitors and mine is basically flawless. No backlight bleed, no dead pixels, no white glow, no sparkling effect. The only downside is that the PQ is not up to par with my...

    New 24" H-IPS from Philips: 240PW9ES

    Seems the monitor is for sale and some people already got it, yet I cannot find a single review on the net. I find that a little odd. Any of you find anything?

    Which is the best 30" monitor for gaming?

    No, it is not subjective, since you can actually measure it. If you play online, those milliseconds can actually be the difference between kill or be killed. If were a gamer, you would know this. The LG is a very interesting option. It utilizes the newest panel, yet it is as striped down as...

    Best Gaming 30"

    I reckon 30" IPS' without scaler are the best for gaming, so that leaves you the older models like the HP 3065 you mentioned and the LG W3000H.

    New 24" H-IPS from Philips: 240PW9ES

    Philips sold the last bit of their stock in LG Display. They had about 13% left. LG and Philips started LG Display together.

    New 24" H-IPS from Philips: 240PW9ES

    In The Netherlands this model was introduced almost 6 months ago and one can order one in several webshops since then. Yet, it's never been delivered to anyone, so recently some curious people contacted Philips.nl about it and gotten the response this model was cancelled. Strangely enough, Simon...

    Dell 2209WA vs 2007FP

    The 2209WA model is called detuned, which as far as I know means cheaper parts. E.g. the blu is supposed to be normally used in TN models.

    Dell 2709W

    What did Dell exactly fix with the A02 revision? And is the backlightbleed common on A02 models? How about inputlag, which was massive in the older revisions?

    Recommend TV for PS2 Gaming and DVDs

    How about the LG 32PG6000 plasma? The price is very low, picture quality is good and it looks stunning in your livingroom, even when it's turned off.

    Just ordered the Dell UltraSharp 2209WA

    Not entirely true. There is one company from Holland called Qsix.eu, which sells some Dells for prices way below the Dell prices. It even sells these models with extended 5 year premium panel warranty. For example, they sell the 2408wfp A01for €490 which compared to the €796,11 Dell charges is a...

    Just ordered the Dell UltraSharp 2209WA

    $200 incl. shipment? If I wanted a 22" I would be really jealous right now, because the 2209WA looks very promissing. In euro countries like The Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and France Dell charges €418($542) excl. shipping. All models are overpriced actually. Dell is really robbing us in the...

    New gaming monitor, TN or not?

    This LCD has a Samsung S-PVA panel. IPS 24" monitors would be the HP LP2475W or the Philips 240PWES. Have no idea what those cost in the States, but here the Philips is €50 cheaper than the DELL and the HP €50 more expensive than the DELL., which costs €500. Anyway, I would not recommend a...

    confused on gaming monitors. TN? and other types..

    You cannot play FPS games on LCDs with PVA panels, unless you do not mind to get creamed due to inputlag.

    Dell 2408WFP Vs. Philips 240PW9EB

    I am actually looking at the same monitors plus the BenQ FP241W. The BENQ is supposedly still on sale in a few shops, even though it is removed from the BenQ website for a while now. The Dell is about €50 more expensive and has backbleed issues as far as I know, although I believe there is a...

    tv on my monitor

    First thing that popped in my head was, get a digital HDTV Tuner with HDMI output. Your cable provider probably has that option.
