It's brand new but I've got to move and am selling my whole system to afford a laptop. Currently this is the only card on the market that can do Dolby Digital Live.
Here's a link to the product page at the egg:

I just...
Sorry to everyone who PM'ed me but I've been out of town. I took my computer with me and decided to see how far I could push this and the opteron. The X2 hit 2700 on 1.55v easy. I probably could have gone to 2.75 but didn't want to run it into the ground. I'll leave that fun for some other...
At this point I'm considering it.
I just don't understand why they feel the need to keep plugging the wound even though it won't stop bleeding? I mean it's just not working out for either of us, why not just cut the cord and get on with life?
I know, Im such a prick. How dare I get upset at having to spend over 20 hours on the phone trying to get this resolved. See, now your making me so upset. My therapist is going to switch my meds again now.
You won't believe this latest salvo:
I spent another hour and a half on the phone with support/cs and was told I was going to get an email from an upper level representative to help me out. This is the email I get:
You have not spoken to me before. My Name is XXXX and I am level

Stay the hell away from the 2405. It's a giant turd wrapped in an attractive package.
If you want something high res your going to need a bigger size LCD. The 27-32 crowd usually only does 1280 or 1360. To get up to 1600 or 1900 your going to need to venture into the 37"+ department.
It's entirely possible that I can just pick this thing up on a different level but I've never heard a peep out of my other 9 Dell monitors and that includes the 2005 which has similar internal components.
I may be stuck with selling but I'm going to fight till I pop a blood vessel to get this...
Definately worth the money. You'll probably want to upgrade your graphics card to something newer if you demand the best performance. Otherwise, your all set.
I used to use Kerio 2.1.5 but had to switch once it became incompatible with Perfect Disk. I use Outpost Pro 3 now. The interface needs some work but it's pretty powerful so I'm happy with it.
I just tried out the G7 and didn't really care for it. It felt sort of flimsy compared to my MX1000. The ergonomics were much better though. Going to try the G5 today as the weights should solve the flimsy problem.
Should have mentioned that before: I've had it hooked up to 2 different UPS, 1 Triplite and 1 APC, so I doubt it's a power issue.
Can someone list the commands to access the service menu so I can check to see if it's a V2? I'd appreciate it.
Of course I would have, but the original problem didn't crop up until 6 months in, so they are loathe to give me my money back.
Someone brought up an interesting point - Could it be my BFG 7800GT's brightness setting? Since the monitor still whines on 0 brightness maybe it's the graphics card?
Hey I'm with ya chief. I'm starting to believe that insanity has set in. It's just hard not to notice the noticible whining noise that pops up whenever I turn on the monitor. Like I've said, I've changed every variable that I could think of. I just don't know what else to try.
Right now...
Thought I'd seek out some advice on this one. I bitched about this before but that was on my original 2405. Now I'm on my 5th, and this one is brand new (got Dell to stop sending me refurbs). I've tried using different DVI cables, different power cords, using different outs on my 7800, trying...
Anyone tried out the new Microsoft wireless laser mouse yet? I tried the feel out yesterday in BB and it was pretty damn comfortable. Reviews seem to be scarce and I'm wondering if it can hold a candle to the G7.
