I have a SyncMaster 710T now and really love it, but I want to upgrade to a newer panel 19" LCD. The 940BF has a response time to 2ms and the 960ms has a response time of 4ms, so both "should be" fine for games. My 710T is a 12ms panel and I have no ghosting at all. Here's the issue. Review...

Yeh, it's a toss up. Man, I have no idea why they put integrated graphics in the XPS M140, or at least don't offer a decent upgrade.

Kewl, thanks. Sounds like even though the Intel is all shared memory it would still serve me better for what I'm going to do with the machine due to it's newer architecture and broader throughput.

I'm positive on the parts, my part descriptions in quotes are a cut/paste right from the Dell web site. For example, the XPS M140; Intel® Media Accelerator 900TM (integrated, up to 128MB Shared) http://www1.us.dell.com/content/product...=en&s=dhs&~page=2&~tab=specstab#tabtop 600M; 64...

I'm looking for a non-gaming Dell laptop and am considering the 600M, 630M, or XPS M140. These systems are configured with either the "Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 (up to 128 MB Shared)" or the "64 MB DDR ATi® MobilityTM RADEONTM 9000 4X AGP". I know shared memory is bad...

You may want to read the article (page 11 particularly) on xbitlabs referenced in this thread. (Check the 1/6 post) link It looks like the Viewsonics "support" 16.7 million colors through interperlation. This would explain why they don't publish the exact specification. If they use...

Thank you for a well composed response. I appreciate that you understood I was not "questioning you", but only asking a question of you based on your experience with both LCDs. I wish there was a mortar store where I could see the VP171B. Seems that the typical stores like Best Buy, Circuit...

Can you elaborate on your statement that the VP171B was "better" than the 12ms Samsung LCDs? In what way? The 710T seems to be hightly regarded and recommended, what should pursuade someone to take a closer look at the VP171B? Thanks.

Could someone help with a memory configuration question? Would you receive better performance from; 512MB PC3200 in Dual Channel Mode (i.e. two 256 MB DIMMS) -or- 768MB PC3200 NOT in Dual Channel Mode (i.e. 3 256 MB DIMMS) -or- 1GB PC3200 NOT in Dual Channel Mode (i.e. (2) 256 MB...
