Is the Hyundai L90D+ a 6 bit or 8 bit panel? I'm getting mixed information on that. If it's 8 bit I think I found a winner :-)

That's a 6 bit panel too.

The 915n doesn't have DVI =(

Nah, if I'm going to get a dell I want the 2001fp. I really don't need a monitor until the end of july or beginning of August...but I figure any new products that come out by then will be very expensive. The 930b is perfect for what I want except that it's 6 bit. Is that difference between 6 bit...

I'm looking at the Samsung 930B for $280 from Office Depot. The only thing that holds me back is that it's a 6 bit panel (like most 8ms panels I've seen.) Is the difference between 6 bit and 8 bit actually noticable? If so, what 8 bit panels would you guys recommend? I want one 19" or 20" with a...

Is this monitor worth it? The Samsung 930b is $280 at office depot right now, it's 8ms response time but only a 6 bit panel. Could I get a tv tuner card and plug my xbox into that so I could play xbox on the monitor? The video inputs on the 2001fp are the only thing that draws me to it.

I'm buying it through the employee purchase program so they may have limited options a bit. From what I've heard, higher RPM hard drives in laptops don't generate much additional heat, and actually use less power because although they spin a little faster, they can do their job quicker so the...

I'm about to buy a Dell 600m laptop which comes standard with a 4200rpm 40gb hard drive. They want $99 to upgrade it to an 80gb 4200rpm drive. I'd rather take that $99 and use it towards a bigger and faster hard drive, but which brand should I get? Should I get 5400rpm or is the 7200rpm really...

I'm going to be buying a Centrino (Sonoma) laptop this summer (From PowerNotebooks.com) and I want to know if I should spend a little extra money ($35) to get the 7200RPM Hitachi Travelstar or should I get the 5400rpm Seagate Momentus hard drive. I imagine the performance increase is...

It's 40k. They gave me 8k in grants knocking it down to $32k. The $8k in loans I still have to pay back.

I just got my decision from Stanford - wait listed. Better than rejected I guess, but from what I've read and thought about, I think Cornell would be better for me anyway. The distance to Stanford would make it very difficult, and it's not the first time I've heard that Stanford engineering...

LOL...same question as my last post...reasons? :-)

Do you go there? Friends went there? Any particular reasons? Thanks :-)

I got into Cornell and Carnegie Mellon and am still waiting for my Stanford decision. I'm going into Computer and Electrical engineering. I live in Virginia. Assume that cost for each is equivalent after financial aid is factored in. I'm looking for input which can help me base my decision...
