Ahhhhhh I doubt I iwll be getting a color meter. Again use this primarily for gaming, I may do some photo editing but not much. Any basic advice you can give me? I don't know my 9300k from my 6300k or really what even any of that means. I do know m FE2111SB which has alot less color...

Wow, When I started this thread, I never expected LCD people to take it so personally. If you prefer LCD's....have at it, why should it bother you if many people still feel CRT's offer a better image? Let us crazy people enjoy ourselves. I just got my "new to me" HP A7217A 24" Wide Screen...

Hey I was wondering if some more experienced members could share their monitor settings for this monitor, I know not every monitor will be indentical, but i really don't know what the heck I am doing, and am deffinately not going to be springing for a calibration tool. I just got this monitor...

Many professionals with budgets that could go either way still stick to crt's for video editing, 3d animation etc.....as far as people not being able to tell flicker at 70 something hz? Come on....I can do that . Take a montior even at 85 and look to the left or right of the screen while...

Thanks XTknight that was exactly the sort of info I was looking for.... My second question, does anyone, know of a good dependable outlet for CRT's? Also when a monitor is said to be "refurbished".....other then repackaged what does that mean? The CRT I'd like to get was selling for...

Now I know everyone has fully embraced LCD's as THE way to go these days....and so for my second home PC I started to look for a LCD, this is used by my wifey, and mostly for gaming/entertainment. So I looked through the excellent LCD thread and what my options were. The more i looked the more I...

Eh..... The more I look the more I dislike the price for what you get on the intel based boards. Sure the Intel CPU's may kick AMD's butt in performance of CPU alone.....but you just get much better platforms off the AMD chipsets and for a reasonable price....the more I added up the costs to get...

Just got finished upgrading one of our computers with the GA-MA78GM-S2H, and Ihave to say the 780G chipset is SEXY!!!! However for my other machine I plan on going with Intel.....the possible choices are so staggering that I do not know where to begin...but i do know what i need, and like...

I pulled the trigger on that gigabyte board you mentioned, the idea of micro atx still bugs me but it was a great price, and the audio chip is much better then ECS's board. I really would prefer to have gotten something nicer like a k9a2 platinum...but I can get this board and a x2 5000+ for...

Where would the 3d support be there? as best as I can research it doesn't support 3d sound on eax titles...aka all games current 3d sound ability since a3d is dead.

Okay I am pretty much gutting my old machine, keeping the case, psu, dvd writer, floppy and Hd's but I am getting new mobo, cpu, mem and graphics card. It currently has Windows Xp Home loaded, upgrade version. My question is one, can i switch it over? (I plan on doing a fresh install...

According to the "Post Cards from the Edge" article on here http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=3279e article Every single 780g card they have tested has litterly died with a fews seconds or minutes upon getting either a 125w x2 6400 or the 125w phenoms. The Gigabyte mobo was no...

I'm thinking of going with a 780g board if I'm going to go with Am2.... What do you think about the ECS a780Gm-A boards? I never thought I'd decide on a ECS board, (having bad sis flashback) butit looks like a really decent board at a great price. Yeah I know it will fry with a 125w cpu...

I think there are few points that maybe should be clarified, first off you can't go over or even to 4gb in Vista 32 anymore then you can with XP. If you wish to go over that you'd have to go to Windows Vista 64. I seriously doubt many games will be designed for that as games are always...

Well I suspected there would be a next big jump processor wise, but again, My idea of "upgrading" is no longer being bleeding edge. But rather being best bang for the buck. Right now I see all the sub 100 Cpu's as still very viable for almost any software out there, including hungry games. After...
