    Asus ROG Maximus VII Impact

    Me too, but I'm also waiting on Maxwell, so my suffering will not end here.

    34" 21:9 UltraWide Displays (3440x1440) - LG UM95/UM65 & Dell U3415W

    Well, I can tell you that this one won't work for the UM95. The size of the rails is ok, but the hole pattern makes it so that you can't attach them without blocking the inputs on the monitor. Specifically the DC IN, HDMI1 and DisplayPort. :(

    Can I join the domain I created in Windows 8 Hyper-V from the host OS?

    Yep, it was actually pretty simple. Thanks for the help!

    Can I join the domain I created in Windows 8 Hyper-V from the host OS?

    I'm running Window 8 (bootcamp) on a 16GB rMBP with a 768GB SSD. I've been having a lot of fun creating an active directory network within Hyper-V to play with the Microsoft BI stack (SQL Server, SharePoint, etc.) Ideally what I'd like to do is to join my Windows 8 host, as a client, to the...

    Dell U3014 News

    This is not exactly true either. As a retina MacBook Pro owner I can tell you OS X and Windows 8 have much improved non native scaling. I'm not sure what kind of wizardy is going on under the hood but OS X looks beautiful in many resolutions. I'm using Win 8 most of the time and while I'm not...

    There are some who would disagree with that. Unfortunately, I don't think we have enough information yet.

    Best 16GB RAM Solution for Sandy Bridge?

    My memory has two profiles, SPD and XMP. By default, the BIOS initially used the SPD profile which set the RAM to 1333. Usually there's a setting in the BIOS to enable XMP timings. I just switched mine to 1600 and it picked up the XMP timings. And yes, Intel, refers to this as overclocking.

    Best 16GB RAM Solution for Sandy Bridge?

    I'm currently running the Vengeance 4x4GB kit at 1600MHz at stock voltages and settings. I wouldn't call that overclocking.

    Best 16GB RAM Solution for Sandy Bridge?

    My point was that populating all 4 slots does not limit you to 1333, as this thread was suggesting.

    Best 16GB RAM Solution for Sandy Bridge?

    Populating all 4 slots does not limit you to 1333. The Sandy Bridge controller is proving to be pretty formidable, in fact the Corsair Vengeance 16GB kit runs at 1866 and beyond. http://www.corsair.com/blog/corsair-vengeance-high-density-module-overclock-results

    Does the ~50% free space rule apply to SSDs?

    I always heard 80%, but that had to do with rotational latency and leaving enough space for defragmentation. Two things we don't have to worry about with an SSD. Supposedly... I saw a post from someone whose SSD fragmentation was 60% so he ran Perfect Disk and benchmark scores improved...

    Best 16GB RAM Solution for Sandy Bridge?

    I don't know what country you are in but how about Corsair Vengeance? It's 1.5V (but BTW, plenty of people are doing fine with 1.65V kits). http://www.corsair.com/memory/vengeance/vengeance-16gb-dual-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cmz16gx3m4a1600c9.html

    Dell U3011 coming soon.

    AFAIK, Dell has not even acknowledged that the monitor exists yet. Rumours however have slated this for a Sept-Oct release.

    Not that I'm aware of, but I have been looking and what I'm finding is hilarious! 1) FlatpanelsHD posts Dell U3011: More information and launch date with i beleive, this thread as it's source! LOL! 2) HDTV Review links to the above and titles it Dell Release More Information About U3011 HD...

    Dell U2711

    Took a look at a 27" iMac next to a 30" Apple Cinema Display at the Apple store the other day. The 30" still seemed to have significantly more screen size to me. The 27" didn't look much bigger than my 24" (Dell 2407). However, the 27" iMac with it's glossy display really blew me away compared...

    Dell U2711

    The reason people are talking about this model number is because it is listed in the desciption for the Dell soundbar as being compatible with it. While that can be considered a clue that Dell may soon release a 27" monitor, Dell has never even acknowledged that this product exists, therefore...

    3008WFP being marked down quickly???

    Here's a big question. If and when the new 3009(?) is announced, will it be 16:9 or 16:10? Seems the whole industry is moving to 16:9 for economic reasons.

    3008WFP being marked down quickly???

    CeBit begins on 3/3. Maybe we'll hear of a new 30" then. According to the link on the Dell site the current sale ends 3/5.

    Dell 2408WFP Now Available

    IIRC the 250.00 Amex GC's can only be used on computers. The one for accessories (monitors) is only 50.00 :(. I always use Amex points to buy from Dell.

    audio over HDMI?

    I think with PC's there's a bit of a mismatch. HDMI carries high quality audio, whereas the speakers integrated into LCD's are relatively poor quality. Unless I'm mistaken, I don't beleive monitors would passthru audio to external speakers.

    Dell 3008WFP review @ ExtremeTech

    What!? I thought the complete opposite. HotHardware gave it a very positive review with lackluster testing methodology. ExtremeTech gave it a mixed review using actual lab equipment. Are you sure your not letting your lust for this monitor cloud your judgement? I really wanted this monitor to be...

    Dell 3008 WFP 30" AVAILABLE NOW $2034

    Its generally regarded as a poor scaler, at least as opposed to the Realta. It would be like Dell building their new XPS gaming boxes with a Creative Labs Audigy instead of an X-Fi. Any 1080 source like the TiVo or XBOX will need to be scaled to 1600p. Now the Faroudja may be good enough but it...

    How does 2560x1600 compare to 1920x1200 (Gaming Experience)

    Wow, just calculated that 2560x1600 has 80% more pixels than 1900x1200. I didn't realize that the difference was that big! Hopefully next gen 30" monitors will hit at the same time NVIDIA's next gen hits - or, I wish NVIDIA would license SLI for Intel chipsets.

    Response time seems a little high but looks good for a 30". Moving from a 2407 with 6ms I wonder if I'll notice.
