I have BenQ's FP241W, the model before the FP241WZ and I must say that I have been extremely happy with the performance. I used to game on a 19" Trinitron and thought that it couldnt get any better. Got tired of the bulk and lack of desktop space and initially invested in a Sceptre 22". Was...

Well, I must admit Im not so much of an overclocker. I do think though that the reliability and quality built into boards built for overclockers is a big plus. As far as SLI is concerned, I dont believe that Ill be going that route. I had a poor experience with SLI; really dont think its...

Hi. Looking to make a switch from AMD to Intel and Im a bit rusty when it comes to intel and brands. By the end of this year, I would like to have upgraded my CPU to the new 45nm Quad core when it gets released and want to get a the new 9800 series Nvidia card. I have heard the new Nvidias...

Well, I would like to respond. I understand globalism and I understand that in the US, most goods ARE made outside the country and imported. I am a firm believer in a fair market economy. I wasnt TRYING to imply that AMD wasnt relevant anymore, or that they got cocky. The point I was...

Ill keep this short, but felt it needed to be expressed. My first system I built was AMD. This system I am on right now is AMD. This also happens to be my LAST system with AMD. I dont know if some of you have heard, but apparently AMD is taking all comers and their donations. For me, this...

As alot have said, all we can do now is speculate. No reason whatsoever to try and prove ideas as fact that are only plausible theories at BEST. Does anyone have a true Phenom on desktop with tweaks and a bios review? No. If you love Intel and will use nothing but Intel GREAT! But please dont...

I wish AMD all the best of luck and hope that after tweaking, Phenom rocks and competes very nicely. However if it doesnt happen and Intel still wears the crown, I will honestly consider intel. But only if they lead by a dominante margin. Just the way i see it I suppose.

Considering the games, I sure as hell will!

Hi all. well, I havent been here on the boards for a long time; bought a Harley Davidson Fatboy and.. well..... thats been taking all my free time up. That said, I find myself no longer using my EVGA 8800 GTX. Actually never used it to its full potential. lol, about the most this card has...

Playing C&C3 at my BenQ's native res of 1920*1200 with EVERYTHING turned on at max and I have zero performance slowdowns hiccups... nothing but pure smooth gaming. You get waht you pay for and if you want the best, its gonna cost to play. =)

Wow, I did listen to S&M and holy crap was that awesome... infact.. Im going to listen to that tonight too!

... I need to get my hands on the matrix....

This post isnt about speakers themselves, rather the music thats going through them. Recently bought some Logitech z-5500s. got them dialed in a few days ago. Untill then I had not run any of my thrash/speed/death metal through them... for some unknown reason that I cant for the life of me...

I see. well thank you for all your help guys! I finally understand what I need to look for. I guess the XtremeGamer has my name on it then. Thanks a bunch to all those who replied!

Id like the support to be at least 5.1 . I doubt that Id ever try to go with a full 7.1 setup. Well, if Oynaz is correct, Ill just hold off getting a new sound card then. Just wish they would hurry up and get on out the door!
