So is anyone still making a good 4:3 20" monitor for PLP with a 30", or is the 2007FP still the best option?

For sale: Saphire 5870, $175 shipped. Card runs great, haven't had any issues with it whatsoever. It was merely time to upgrade :) EDIT: Sold

So I'm rocking a 5870, but I'm still using a 22" TN. I'd really like to upgrade to a better, larger monitor, something in the 24" range (preferably 1920x1200). My budget is under ~$500 per monitor (preferably less, of course), as I'd like to get 3 of them for Eyefinity. Thus, DisplayPort is a...

Hey gang, I'm just doing a simple survey on people's experiences with ATI and Nvidia drivers for a statistics class. If you could please just fill out this very simple, very quick survey that would be awesome, thanks! http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=Q9ZCpXnCzhM_2fLmFc6JZmYg_3d_3d

Phoronix posted two articles discussing and benchmarking all the changes that occured in both the ATI and Nvidia linux drivers over the past year. It is quite apparent that ATI is making a huge Linux push to get their drivers up to snuff - some games had 40-60% FPS improvements! That said, it...

For sale: Visiontek X1950Pro 256mb AGP: $65 shipped (OBO) [SOLD] Handles modern games just fine at 1440x900 (native res of the monitor it was powering). Card still runs just fine, in overall good condition (bit dusty, thats about it). Never overclocked. Pictures available if requested...

I'm helping my friend upgrade his system, and we have run into a problem that I have no idea what is wrong or how to fix. First, the specs: DFI Lanparty DX X38-T2SB E4400 BFG 7950GT 256mb 2x1GB gskill ddr2 800 IDE Master: 80gb western digital 7200 rpm IDE Slave: Pioneer DVD-RW drive...

I finally upgraded from my aging 7950GT to a sexy new 4850. However, my CPU is a bit on the slow side (3ghz X2), especially when compared to the rigs that the major benchmark sites are using. Since there hasn't been a CPU scaling article recently, I decided to make my own. System specs: AMD...

For sale: Athlon64 X2 4200+ Socket AM2. It is used, but works completely. I don't have the stock HSF, so this is CPU-only. $40 + shipping (UPS) [NEGOTIABLE!] PENDING! Pictures are available upon request (I don't have a camera otherwise I would just post some - but I can borrow a friends...

Hi all, I'm hoping someone here can help me out. I recently gave my rig a small upgrade (X2 5000+ BE + XMS2 DDR2 800), and I am now having frequent BSODs. I started with the standard "probably my overclock", so I ran orthos - passed (15 hours anyway, then windows restarted to install updates :/...

I think my video card may be going bad, but I figured I would ask here just in case I've overlooked something :) The card: BFG 7900GT OC OS: Vista 64-bit (rest of rig in spec) Problem: I get horizontal line artifacts when doing simple things (black/white "lines" that are a coupe pixels...

I'm calling BS on the "benchmarks" done here: http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/?p=120 First up, the issue of memory usage on a blank page. For me, OpenOffice.org (OOo) loaded as "Writer" used ~35mb, whereas Word used ~28mb (the article claimed 4.85mb). OOo in "Calc" used the same memory (35mb), but...

i was going to install a second copy of winXP on my second hdd (you know, to play around with and tweak without the fear of f**king stuff up - also, could use it as a gaming OS, no services/antivirus/firewall/background progs) anyway, it asked if i wanted to 1)reformat with NTFS (hell no, i...

ok, first off, specs are in sig second, i was originally using sisoft Sandra to judge how well my oc was going (i am really lazy, and just wanted a quick comparison to myself of whether or not the tweak/oc helped and/or by how much - worked well) and that went all well and nice, right now in...

any know how well these chips are overclocking? it isn't a mobile, just the normal desktop one the chip is on the way, and i was wondering what i should try to be pushing for lastly, are the multis still locked on the new bartons?

out of curiosity, how can a mobo fry a psu if the psu is powering the mobo? how could it fry itself? maybe you just got some bad luck w/ psus EDIT: he never actually said if the proc was definitely dead, could always test it in another mobo if he has one

ok, i am putting my comp back into the case (had it apart for modding) and when i took of the hsf (this thing, slk800, is HEAVY, no way im moving the mobo with this thing on), and when i looked at the base i saw this can anyone tell me what this is? it doesn't come off with water. the...
