Slammy1, I posted at avsforums first but thought I would duplicate the post in anantech and a few other forums as well, here is what they say.... http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=887560 Point me to this page for mac... http://www.htguys.com/archive/2007/March09.html Quasmo...

I would get plasma unless the room gets too much light, don't worry about 1080p. I just got Pioneer Elite 50" PRO-1150HD, the reason is that plasma has a better picture and the resolution at 50" isn't noticeable at normal viewing distance. Yes I have excellent vision. Panasonic does make an...

I just purchased a 50" Pioneer PRO-1150HD for the living room and could use a little help in where to start looking when trying to set up an HTPC. I have my DVD collection backed up onto a server which is quietly tucked into a near by room. I also have access to an apple tv and a mac mini...

OK, I'm willing to iron out our differences. You may be right on some accounts but apple does have design magic. Silly to say they don't build their own hardware, who does? It's not about which sweat shop makes it, it's about who designs the process. Unlike many other companies, execs do not...

Apple hardware is the best in the computer business, period. Apple OSX is better for most computer users, not you guys, most people. The software is not configurable enough for advanced users and there are not enough software/games available for some advanced users and gamers. All of this is...

I decided that a single 8800GTS is the best option right now given that the GTX is $150 for a few extra FPS and two cards give a very limited benefit at this time. Thougths?

lol, really? You work in marketing or something at asus? How would you know how many motherboards are sold relatvie to any other company such as dell or apple, etc. or why they were purchased? Please share with the rest of us where this claim can be verified.

That 30" HP is amazing at 2560x1600 and 8ms response time! The LCD can be had for about $1800 which is pretty crazy expensive but seems to be worth it, I think I'm in with two 8800GTX's with SLI.

I could find out for you if you really need to know it's probably about 5-8 years old in a desktop. It also had a foxcon PSU if that makes any difference to you. You know what a fanboy is, right? I never said anything about asus except that it my experiance and the experiance of other friends...

GTS card sounds like a great idea, I wonder if I will be able to find any benchmarks about this but I certainly got my 6800GT's to out run any out of the box 6800Ultras. In that case the cards were the same PCB but different voltages, coolers, etc. Is that the same with the GTS and the GTX...

Are you setting them manually or letting the motherboard do it by itself?

-150GB Raptors are great for access time useful in running windows and most other applications but not as good as the 750GB in data transfer which would seem to be the reason why the raptor is not as fast at loading games or levels. This is a gaming computer and the 750GB happens to run office...

Well, the PSU is free for me anyway but he does plan on getting dual SLI and a physics card when games he plays start to utilize them. 3.5Ghz should be fine but how likely will it be that I'll even get a chip that can do that? When considering the probability of exceeding 3.5Ghz, what gains...
