    What would you do? Dell 2001FP vs Samsung 213T!

    The futuremark demo looked great on the 213T. I only played MSFS on it. I've since gone on an extended vacation and won't be back there for a while. I dont suspect panning would be a problem. I think flight sims would look better on the 213T, although its just my opinion. I think that FPS games...

    What would you do? Dell 2001FP vs Samsung 213T!

    well its been a while since ive posted. a lot's happened. the short story is that ive used a 213T for around a month and a 2001FP for a week or so. I've intensely examined both, side by side, over this time. My conclusion is that yes the 2001FP has less ghosting, but in every other aspect (not...

    Am I wasting money?

    thanks guys i think ill just see what i can get. hopefully ill be able to pull off 3.0? then maybe when the cost of the P4EE drops really low I'll get that.

    Am I wasting money?

    the 3.0 idea sounds good but i dont want to increase the cost any more :( would it be worth it to go to 2.8 and spend a little less on ram?

    Am I wasting money?

    Is there an alternative way that would be more likely to get higher speeds ? for example, if i used higher speed memory, would that make life easier for the processor? My FSB would be at 270 in this setup right? (216*5/4=FSB)?

    Am I wasting money?

    So should i consider saving money with lower spec ram? (money is a consideration for me)

    Does matched memory matter?

    im building a system and i noticed that mushkin memory carries a very different price whether its sold as a stick or matched. for example, at newegg there's 512mb level2 2-2-2 pc3200 for ~$140, but the matched version is $325. Thats a $45 difference for memory spec'd the same (and a very good...

    Samsung 191T and Ghosting Yay/Nay?

    BB used to have displays with 191Ts and a WW2 FPS (sorry not into those games so i dont remember which). but that was when they carried alienware... they no longer do, so I dont know if you can still find that. I do know that at a compusa near me they have LCDs to play on. It's a good way to...

    What would you do? Dell 2001FP vs Samsung 213T!

    CH2: how do you think warcraft 3 and Rogue Spear would play on it? Over on Tom's hardware he knocks LCDs left and right for some games not even being playable. Could you comment more on your experiences?

    What would you do? Dell 2001FP vs Samsung 213T!

    Kristopher, good point. shuttleteam (and anyone else), how good do you all think the samsung would be in games such as flight simulators and warcraft 3? ghosting should be minimal (would it even be noticable?) how bad is ghosting on a fps.. is it something thats always there? i dont play...

    Betelgeuse- where did you get the 213t from to be able to return it? how much did you pay for the dell (did you order it alone or with a machine?)
