    did you plug in the secondary P4 4-pin power connector at the top of the mobo? I have that same motherboard, requires 20+4pin + 4pin power connectors.

    Gigabyte controller or Intel ICH9R?

    To the naked ear it sounds like my HDD is doing less activity with the ICH9R chipset than Gigabyte. That's hardly scientific is it :) Yes, hopefully someone willing is reading this...

    Gigabyte controller or Intel ICH9R?

    The motherboard I have is a Gigabyte P35-DS3R v2.0. What I'd like to know is if I will get the best performance using the ICH9R chipset or the Gigabyte chipset? Offhand I'd say the ICH9R seems a little quicker. I know the ICH9R is much improved over the older ICH8. I had a 965P-DS3 and...

    Best Gaming LCD as of Sept 2007?

    I did end up buying a 226BW after all. After a few weeks of use i really enjoy it. There is some backlight bleeding but you don't notice things like that actual games. I personally have never been one for eye candy either which may sound weird as I am running 4xAA 8xAF in most games. "If your...

    Samsung 226BW Service Function displays no panel info!

    Yes i read that thread but not in its entirety. I opened up the monitor case to find the code LTM220M1-L01 on both stickers - a 'S' panel :D Now i can calibrate it. Thanks.

    Best Gaming LCD as of Sept 2007?

    Yes i did think about the 206BW but i did read that the pixel pitch made it harder to read text and i didn't want to play around with font sizes. I probably will go with the 226BW as i can afford it. The only thing i don't like about some lcd's is the fact they don't come with height adjustment...

    Best Gaming LCD as of Sept 2007?

    No i think that is about it. I doubt very much that we'll see anything other than 22" TNs as companies will start to focus on 24" now. Most professionals would choose a large panel than a 22", or logically so i would have thought. I've narrowed my choice down to: Samsung 19" 940BW (with...

    Best Gaming LCD as of Sept 2007?

    So did u get a monitor yet Arc? I'm looking too, will probably go with a Samsung 226BW and take my chances with the panel lottery. Can't seem to find the HP 2207 here in Australia.

    What's the latest on the Samsung 226BW panel lottery?

    Thanks apoppin i have read that thread. I was being sarcastic when i said people haven't been complaining enough. I guess they are still shipping different panels even with the commotion. Thanks.

    What's the latest on the Samsung 226BW panel lottery?

    Does anybody know if they are they still making these lcd's with the S, A, and C panels? I did read that they were possibly going for a forth one that was even cheaper and output worse colour representation. Perhaps people aren't complaining enough?... :( Anyway just wondering what the outcome...

    BenQ FP241W v FP241W Z

    Thanks Bernard. Incidently I am also looking at a Panasonic Viera LCD tv as well and you just answered a question in my head as to whether that technology was any good too :)

    BenQ FP241W v FP241W Z

    From what i've read here at the forums these lcd's are top notch. Here in Australia they only appear to market the FP241W. From what i can gather the difference between the two said monitors is that the Z version has PerfectMotion Technology which sounds advantageous as i want this new monitor...

    Gigabyte Odin GT

    I've seen reviews of this PSU going around and it mentions that the software included isn't so accurate in its determination of power (W) used. I am thinking about buying one if there has been any software updates correcting this problem. Does anybody know if this is the case? Thumbs up to...
