BernardP, my FCC ID# is also BEJL226WTM...does this mean CMO panel? Note that in service menu the LPL versus CMO is selectable, but if I do a factory default reset it goes to LPL. You'd like to think that it's set at factory to match the panel. Very confusing, can you shed any light...

BernardP, I'll check the FCC ID this evening when I get home. is it easy to spot?

Just got my LG 226WT (non "Q") and no ghosting at all. There is a bit of top & bottom backlight bleed but overall it's gorgeous, big and bright. :) I haven't installed Forte Manager as I'd heard it was buggy...anyone know it that's worked out and worth doing? Lastly, can anyone suggest...

Thanks for replies...sounds like a lot of effort for uncertain return to view HDCP on my workstation. LW

Considering new rig and wondering what is required to "future-proof" it for HDCD video content. I know the LCD needs to be HDCD (such as Dell 2407 if I win the lottery) but does video card additionally need specific capability for this purpose? Info. appreciated. LW

Thanks to all for your excellent points. Several suggest Opteron...why is this preferred to Athlon 64 X 2? Are AMD systems likely to stay stable over 3-4 years of abuse as my Intel systems have over the years? I'd accept a breath less righteous performance in exchange for stability, and...

BTW...I prefer to stick with standard heatsinks, case fans and am hesitant to go with the expense or complexity of water cooling, etc...should this lean me more to one rig or the other? I burn a lot of CD's and multitask but don't need to overclock much. Thanks for suggestions! Lory

I am preparing to buy a new custom computer via Monarch, and am struggling with the AMD vs. Intel decison. I am NOT much of a gamer, but my system get's a serious workload with MP3 encoding, powerpoint, word productivity apps, some image editing and video apps, and all the abuse my teenagewrs...
