    [Retired] The LCD Thread

    I just purchased and received the BenQ 2400WD. One thing I notice (and I noticed it with my old TN monitor) is that that contrast within dark colors is not very good. If you have a dark area and a light area, you really have to jack up the contrast/brightness to be able to distinguish between...

    [Retired] The LCD Thread

    I have one question about the Benq G2400WD. What do people think of the brightness? The number in the spec (which I really know jack about) seems low compared to others. Also, anyone know of an online store that has a good return policy? I probably won't be returning, but it would be nice...

    Upgrade 8800GT for possible 1920x1200 gaming

    Hmm, actually the GTX 260 is similar in performance (except the 8800GTs choke at high AA), but it actually may end up being cheaper. You can get the MSI GTX 260 on newegg for $199.99 (is this a good one?). Also, for some reason, used 8800GTs are going for $90+ on eBay, even though you can get...

    Upgrade 8800GT for possible 1920x1200 gaming

    What kind of games/resolutions/settings are you able to run well with your dual 8800GTs?

    Upgrade 8800GT for possible 1920x1200 gaming

    I currently have a 8800GT, Core 2 E6750, and 2GB RAM (probably upgrade to 4GB soon since ram is so damn cheap). I was thinking of adding a 9800GT in SLI with my 8800GT. I run at 1280x1024 right now but I think I will get a second monitor (probably a 24" at 1920x1200) for Christmas. I would like...

    What's the better bang for the buck?

    I sort of have a similar question, so I didn't want to make a whole new thread (sorry for hijacking OP). I currently have a 8800GT, Core 2 E6750, and 2GB RAM (probably upgrade to 4GB soon since ram is so damn cheap). I was thinking of adding a 9800GT in SLI with my 8800GT. I run at...

    Vista 32-bit 4x1GB vs. keeping 2x1GB

    So basically when I got my system about a year ago. I just decided to get 2x1GB of RAM (I got this) at the time. Since this RAM is so damn cheap at the moment, I was thinking about just upgrading to 4GB by getting two more of these sticks. I play games, but not as much as I used to (I am...

    6800GS High Temps with new CPU/mobo

    I recently upgraded from a an Athlon 64 3200+ to a E6750 Core 2 Duo. The motherboard I purchased is the MSU P6N-Platinum. Since I did so, I've had temp problems with the 6800GS. I'm getting 75C at idle and over 100C (I believe I saw 105C) at load. I'm checking the temps with NVIDIA System...

    C2D prices

    I bought my A64 3200+ Winnie in Feb. 2005 and I haven't really paid much attention to CPU's since then. My birthday has come up and I was thinking of asking for an Opty 165. I'm just been getting back into the computer parts scene and have since learned about the new C2D's and I've been...

    Distributed bandwidth network from multiple sources

    Yeah, fine, I'll ask around campus then when I get there I guess. And with my idea, nobody would be going above their quota. It would simply be using UNUSED bandwidth. I haven't read all the rules, but I doubt you have either, so before you start lecturing , why don't you show me where it...

    Backing up an Entire Drive..

    I have 2 Seagate SATA drives. My first drive is 160GB, but only detected by Windows 2000 as 127GB. I did the LBA Large Drive fix, and now it shows a second unformatted partition of 22GB. The 127GB partition is currently about 1GB shy of being full. I just got a second 300GB HD and it's all...
