    *DEAD* 8800GTs BACK IN-STOCK and $208 (MSI) and $235 (XFX) at Dell!

    What are the main differences between 22" and 24" monitors

    I have the 24 inch SOYO (for $299 what a deal). I bought a 22 inch LG but the vertical off access viewing was very annoying to me If I raised or lowered my head by 2-3 inches the color change was dramatic (I am told this is normal for all 22 inchers). RES is 1920x1200 for the 24 vs 1680x1050...

    sapphire 1950XT-512MB is 625/1600..is this rite?

    newegg shows both the 1950XT 512MB/256MB Sapphire cards running 625/1800 and both use GDDR3. If you can spend the extra money get the 8800GTS I have one at it is great @ 1600x1200. Before I bought the 8800GTS I had a x1900XTX and the 8800GTS is much faster (I have the 640MB model from EVGA)

    Visual Studio 2005 and Vista

    I think I will just wait (I can still use XP for now). I installed SP1 for VS2005Pro then downloaded the update for Vista but it is a beta designed for the beta/RC versions of Vista. It states not for use in production which is a no go for me. Kind of lame MS can not even get an official Service...

I currently dual boot between XP and Vista and just use...

    Visual Studio 2005 and Vista

    anyone have any info on using Visual Studio 2005 with Vista? just installed it and it pops up a message saying compatibility problems with this version of windows (I am running vista ultimate NON BETA). you would think VS 2005 would work out of the box.
