There is more to it than just what I explained above, but that is a magor portion of it. Another key factor is that there is only a single electron gun and lense in an aperature grille (Trinitron) based monitor, where as a shadow mask tube must use three seperate guns and lenses so there is a...

Actually the statement that a shadow mask provides crisper text is incorrect, at least as far as the broadcast and corperate computer industry goes. Since a shadow mask has more metal surface to it and is generally only anchored to the tube at the corners, as it heats up the metal expands and...

Everybody repeatedly call their 1-800 number, and leave a message that you are calling from Consumer and Corperate affairs in regards to their recent business practices.

Not necessarily the imput I was looking for :)

Just visited an online store http://exchange-usa.com supposedly in florida with this deal. Some of the prices sound too good to be true. Also suspicious that they don't accept credit cards, only checks, money order, and wire transfer. Just thought I would throw the word out there, I can't see...

I posted this in General Hardware with no response so far, I am hoping somebody here has some info. Last fall I saw a color LCD panel that popped out, or flipped out of the 5.25 drive bay enclosure (similar to the way the in dash car DVD monitors do) on a Japanese website (Akiba PC Hotline I...

Hmm. so far this isn't looking too promising.

Last fall I saw a color LCD panel that popped out, or flipped out of the 5.25 drive bay enclosure (similar to the way the in dash car DVD monitors do) on a Japanese website (Akiba PC Hotline I believe). I am guessing that it's diagonal measurement would have been 6 inches or so. I have seen...

I just noticed that a few online dealers are now starting to list the Athalon 4. Are this compatable in the Thunderbird motherboards or do they require a new motherboard all together?

I am thinking of purchasing the new SOYO Dragon, which has a smart card reader terminal directly on the board. Currently we use Amphenol card readers which normally plug into a mini logic board and then into the serial port of a computer, but the main reader itself does seperate from the mini...

That did it...Hmm after all the articles I read, none of them mentioned the Directx 8 video driver. That is something that ATI should document on their website. Thanks

Yes How, some of us are having a very similar problem.

Im just using the professional version...and Directx 8a is installed. It basically seems as if the ATI software isn't seeing the card, while the rest of the computer does. Thanks in advance

No matter what I do, I can't seem to get the tuner portion of of my ATI All in Wonder 128 Pro card to work with Windows 2000. It does work as I had it working briefly last week before I had to do a fresh install of W2K. Although all other aspects of the card works, whenever I try to start the...

I have been looking around for a unique computer case for a while now, looked at the Cooler Master case, and the Lian Li's, but I just found out about the Soldam ones from Japan...slick. They are expensive, but they also offer FDD and DVD,CD drives to match the color of the cases. Apparently...
