    Asus Rampage Formula in Stock: ZipZoomFly

    Just wanted to let everyone know ZipZoomFly.com has Rampage Formula in stock, as of this morning, I think. Just ordered one :) My apologies if this is a duplicate of an earlier post.

    It's the Online Monitor Ghosting Test V2 at this link, if that helps clarify the particular test: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1865 Interesting. Just ran it on my 1907FP at work and it does the same thing. Need to find a better test, I guess!

    Thoughts on Samsung 226BW?

    zigaroo, You don't sound snotty at all--rather, I greatly appreciate your analysis and insight. I really miss the higher-resolution display--I have to admit it. I may try hooking it back up and trying it again. The thing that got me was I tried running a "ghosting" test web page I saw...

    Thoughts on Samsung 226BW?

    Well, crap. At least I found the problem. Unfortunately, it _is_ the monitor. I've never run games on my 997DF CRT at anything beyond 1024x768, since I had a 6800GT forever, and only very recently acquired a 7950GT OC. 1280x1024 @ 85 Hz: Lowest details (exact same as when using...

    Thoughts on Samsung 226BW?

    I think I'm going to hook up my 997DF CRT and see what it looks like with the exact same settings. If it's super-smooth then I may just return the LCD and wait another few years. I don't do a lot of games, but I do like them quite a bit, and the visual distortion/tearing is quite...

    Thoughts on Samsung 226BW?

    I would agree with you there... but even with the LOWEST detail settings possible and no FSAA it's horribly unsmooth. I don't think that's GPU-related... NFSU2 with full details at 1280x1024 would require at least as much, if not more, processing power from the GPU than NFSMW at 1280x1024...

    Thoughts on Samsung 226BW?

    Thanks for the reply, dbthump. I didn't reinstall the drivers--I already had 93.71 installed for use with my 6800GT. Would it do any good to reinstall the same version?

    Thoughts on Samsung 226BW?

    Backlighting is superb on this one. Very, very happy with the static display, but I really wanted a good gaming monitor. :( I wonder... should I go for a 19" instead, that would support the more standard 1280x1024 resolution? If so, is there a "king of all 19s" for gamers? I would need...

    Thoughts on Samsung 226BW?

    Yes, I've tried the CNC3 demo, which does support 1680x1050. It looks fantastic. NFS2 Underground, oddly enough, looks a great deal smoother than NFSMW. Both in 1280x1024 or 1280x960. Weird. Hmmm... any advice on what to do with older games, then? I saw some weird scaling options in...

    Thoughts on Samsung 226BW?

    Hi, All, I finally made my first LCD purchase, and picked up a Samsung 226BW. The TN panel is rated for 5 ms B-t-B, and 2 ms G-t-G, but I'm not completely sure if it's "fast" enough for me. If there's a great deal of movement on the screen all at once (NFS Most Wanted, for example)...

    Best X2 939 CPU for Asrock 939?

    I haven't tried overclocking it yet, but no issues so far. It's pretty dang zippy. I flashed to the latest BIOS (2.20) prior to installing the OS. Only two things on the board I don't like, really: 1) System/front panel power LED connector is only 2-pin. Aaargh. 2) Floppy...

    Best X2 939 CPU for Asrock 939?

    Cool. Thanks, guys. I didn't want to swap video cards just yet--my AGP 6800GT oc'd to Ultra speeds seems to work just fine, but I needed something faster than my Northwood 2.4@3.2 GHz. I'm going with the X2 4400+ then! :) w00t!

    Best X2 939 CPU for Asrock 939?

    Are there any major differences between a X2 4400+ (Toledo) and an Opteron 165 (Denmark)? It looks like the 165 runs @ 1.8GHz, the X2 4400+ @ 2.2 GHz. Both have 2x1MB L2 cache, and are about the same price at The Egg. If I can't necessarily count on the AsRock 939Dual to OC more...

    Best X2 939 CPU for Asrock 939?

    Thanks for the tips on the possible voltage issues... I'll dig up the info at AsRock. I know the GEIL RAM seems to crave excessive voltage, so that's a possible concern there if it's not been fixed in one of the more recent BIOS releases. Man, I'm looking forward to this! :)

    Upgrade from P4/3.2 to X2 3800+ -- Worth It?

    What's the main difference between the 165 and the x2 3800+ ? They're both 64-bit dual cores, right? Is there any reason the x2 3800+ would be better for gaming? I do a lot of that, so perhaps that's something I should consider over the opty... Thanks!

    Upgrade from P4/3.2 to X2 3800+ -- Worth It?

    Good food for thought, Ejay. I hadn't even considered that. Prior to getting married and later working for the government (less pay, but it's stable!!!), I always had been on the "near-top" of current computer trends, way back to replacing the oscillator on my DX2-66 so it would run at 80...

    Upgrade from P4/3.2 to X2 3800+ -- Worth It?

    So an opteron 165 rather than the x2 3800+ ? Cool, it's only nearly 30 more than the x2 3800+ at the egg. Thanks for the input, guys. I think I'll go for this and an Si-120. My current board and chip will make a nice linux box.

    Upgrade from P4/3.2 to X2 3800+ -- Worth It?

    Good Morning, All, I have a 2.4 GHz Northwood OC'd to 3.2 GHz that I've been running for what seems like forever now... It's been pretty nice, overall, but I'm curious if it would make sense to move up to an x2 3800+ . Funds are kinda low at the moment, so I'd need to keep my 6800GT...
