    Are LCD's truly "easier on the eyes?"

    I have a 19" NEC Viewsonic CRT that I use everyday at work. I have a Dell 2405 that I use at home. I've never suffered from eyestrain at home even after hours of use on the LCD; however at work it happens frequently enough that I have to take breaks. So in my personal opinion an LCD is indeed...

    Manchester or Toledo?

    i have the 4400+, but I think a 4200+ and a nice HSF still costs less then a 4400+, and so it's the better deal.

    Top 3 processor's???

    the X2 4800+ is the best consumer processor currently available, imo. If you want better then that, you could get a dual opteron, but those prices are very steep.

    75 hz + Dell 2005FPW = big difference

    Personally I think it's a placebo, but placebo's do work as long as you believe they do, so I see no harm in it. In actuallity I think it would cause more tearing, since instead of your FPS being above 60 in order to avoid tearing, they now have to be above 75.

    TV card with hardware mpeg-4 encoding

    I think BeyondTV supports the plextor units for hardware divx encoding also, although I should mention I have not personally tested this. Here is a quote from the 3.7.2 patch notes: Version 3.7.2 Release Notes Build 2040 | July 12, 2005 * Support for DivX recording mode for Plextor...

    ATI x800 XL 256MB or Nvidia 6800 GT (OC) 256MB?

    I can not recomend the 6800gt on principle alone because of the 'promised' h.264 acceleration that never materialized due to the broken purevideo processor. So I would say get the XL, many will disagree with me.

    Is there a patch to hardware-accelerate h.264 files via video cards?

    I just tested it on a 9800pro all in wonder at work. Playing 1080p video with WMV acceleration disabled in CCC = 45 dropped frames With WMV acceleration enabled = 0 dropped frames Also been tested by a few others on the Anandtech forum. It works.

    mce 2005 key not working..

    Unless MS has changed thier stance, as far as I am personally aware with 1 license you can legitimately install on 2 machines. Of of them is assumed to be a laptop. This might only apply to Windows XP and not Media Center Edition.

    Sapphire Radeon X850XT PE Blizzard Edition

    Sounds like a great cooling solution. Noiseless is a nice plus also. I'd like to see this on a 7800ultra or R520 personally.

    Prediction for the Death of AGP

    Given unlimited financial resources, building a new system from scratch, would anyone make the case for an AGP motherboard? I think not. However, remove the unlimited financial resources part, and that is where AGP begins to make some sense in respect to upgrades. For some, typically Nforce...

    WTB: AIW Radeon S-video output cable

    Valid question my good man, I shall endeavor to answer it to my fullest. You see, although ATI sells this very same cable for $10, the lowest shipping option which they have made available is in the amount of $10.53. In effect if I order the item directly from them, I have to pay more for...
