Well... I just picked up a Dell E228WFP to put on an ergotron arm and use next to my 37" westinghouse, but now that I've got it running, the colors are way off (even after adjustment using the monitor settings and nVidia's desktop color control panel) and it looks super dull compared to my...

I'm just curious what will yield higher performance overall: lower clock speed with memory running 1:1, or higher clock speed with a memory divider? Example scenario being: 165 Opterpwn at 9x275 @ 2.48Ghz with a 1:1 memory timing or 9x310 but knock the memory divider back to 166 so it runs...

So ive read through the entire dual core gaming fix guide and it seems like its going to be a real annoyance running multiple cores - just the fact that im going to need to worry about setting processor affinities manually for applications all the time and enabling/disabling the amd fix...

Ive been searching for a simple answer to this but I must not be looking in the right places. I'm just curious how a widescreen monitor will handle 4:3 aspect ratio content (mainly the acer al2030wa). Will the source content only be stretched to 16:10 or will I have to ability to view it with...

I'm looking to replace my sony cpd-g520p with a 2405fpw - are there any deals out I should know about? Also, im getting used to dual monitors, would it be better to skip the widescreen and just go with 2 21"'s instead? meh, thanks in advance for the input

I have a standard usb printer that is currently shared (windows xp print sharing), but I need it available on the network for other people to print to directly via TCP/IP. The main reason im asking is because I work at a university and when printing transcripts a remote server actually...

I'm looking into setting up raid 1 on windows 2003 server (just being used as a simple fileserver), but I was wondering what the main drawbacks were. I'm not really concerned with the loss of performance due to it being a software array (over hardware), just concerned with any downsides to the...

So I bought this monitor maybe a year and a half ago, and now for whatever reason the picture looks like I have the brightness cranked up about 40 more than necessary. Right now with brightness set to 0 everything is washed out and the black appears very green looking (obviously). Has anyone...

Hey guys - trying to put together a simple fileserver - I just need a cheap stable mobo and 256 megs of ram (at least pc2100). I just bought a bunch of new home theater equipment and I want a system I can use as a jukebox. I'll probably install windows xp on it, and then just remote into...

Im currently using the digital optical out on my nf7-s into some z-680s which has worked fine - but soundstorms are notorious for having static/nosound issues which I am experiencing in various games... I have an unopened audigy 2 zs I could hook up, and im wondering - how would the digital...

I'm looking to upgrade from 2x256 of kingston hx3500 to 2x512 of pc3200. I would like pc3200 because right now, with my kingston ram I cant get any higher than 183mhz fsb, which is effectively ddr366 - so its mostly a waste to get anything higher (unless maybe I upgrade my 2500+ barton to a...

I've been trying to find a decent set of codecs for recording/compressing tv shows - right now I'm using divx 5.11, 640x480 res @ 750kbit for video and some built in mp3 codec for audio @ 128kbit - but the sound sounds really tinny, and the video looks like ass, especially when there is a lot of...

Could someone reccommend a flat panel display for at or under $600? My friend's CRT is dying fast and he needs a reasonable replacement - something comparable to a 19" monitor that can do 1600x1200 res (being able to do that res is a firm requirement). He plays a lot of games, but I dont think...

I have 2 80GB drives in raid 1, and im wondering what would be a good partition scheme. I was thinking like: Windows XP: 20G Linux: 20G Storage: 40G Also, should I add a page file partition of like 2G? I'm also going to have a 30G single drive connected as well, so I could always...

I'm just curious how troublesome this would be. If I were to setup two drives in a raid1 setup (with a hardware controller), create an OS partition of about 30G on the raid-array, and then image this OS partition via norton ghost or whatever to a seperate single drive; is it difficult to...

I've using a pc forever, and I thought it would be fun to pick up a mac to tool around on - any suggestions on which model to go with? I was thinking about a cube because they seem relatively inexpensive, but I dunno about performance (plus I have no idea yet what I'm going to use the system...

I have a sony cpd-g520p and I just did a reformat and install of my OS, and now for some reason there is no option for 100hz refresh rate @ 1600x1200 res. I installed the same drivers for my monitor that I usually do, but the option is still not there....is there a way to force these settings...
