    Dell 2009wt

    Thanks a lot for the answers. Anybody else with experience with 2009wt? Just for my information (will likely wait to have more cash to shell out for IPS monitors).

    To Microsoft Sidewinder X6 owners

    Another X6 owner here. The knob does lag, but it is not a deal breaker for me. As for the 2KRO thing, it is true, although I'm far from being a consistent enough FPS player to have this bother me. The keyboard is very useful wit the macros, the lighting and the removable numpad. There is such a...

    Dell 2009wt

    Hello guys, I am looking for a pair of inexpensive monitors, most likely 1680x1050, to supplement my Dell 2007wfp in an Eyefinity setup. I found, on Dell Financial Services, used Dell monitors: used Dell 2009wt. I have never heard of this monitor before and would like your input on it...

    Holiday Smartphone round-up misleads readers

    Wow, can't recall the last time I've seen someone flamed like this. He has the right to express his opinion, I think? Just like you just did.

    Opinions wanted of Crucial M225 SSDs

    I personnally have a 64gb version installed and it is really fast. I can't compare with Sandforce-based drives (don't own one myself) but you will notice the increase in performance compared to mechanical HDDs. And, at 1$ per GB, this is a very good deal.

    Simultaneous dual-band questions

    Hello guys, I have some questions regarding dual-band networking. These questions may seem a bit idiot but anyway.. If I have a simultaneous dual-band router broadcasting two separate wireless networks (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz as I understand), can I also have, on the same computer, two...

    Upgrade 775 system or go to i5?

    Actually, I think this is a bug with the whole engine Valve uses. I had the exact same bug with Half-Life 2, in Crossfire too.

    SSD optimization

    Just a question: I have 4 GB and running Windows 7 RC with a Crucial 64GB SSD. If I try to run two instances of World of Warcraft, I can't play more than 5 minutes without both instances crashing because of an *apparent* lack of RAM (that's why Win 7 tells me). In this case, I don't have a page...

    Looking for Gaming Mouse/Keyboard

    I own the Sidewinder keyboard (owned it for 5 months now) and I can say this is a pretty nice keyboard. The only thing I can complain so far is the sheer amount of macro keys (I am not even beginning to bind half of them). If you use macros in games or programs, this is a nice keyboard...

    Sound card problem...

    Hey guys, I have a Sound Blaster 2 Audigy ZS in my computer. I just freshly installed Windows along with the drivers from Creative. Just after the install, everything was running fine (that was yesterday). I turned off the computer during the night and when I booted it today, suddenly I can't...

    Opinions on Asrock 775Dual 880Pro

    Well, I can't comment precisely on ASROCK products since I've never bought one but if I am correct, this is the "budget" division of ASUS, who are probably the mobo maker who makes the most stable motherboards (in my opinion). So I guess you have a fairly good chance to avoid instability.

    Dual-monitor or very good single monitor?

    Hi guys! I am planning on replacing my 19" CRT by the start of summer. The CRT is working well but I need more space on my desk and I thought of trying a LCD. My computer is mainly for school, internet, some video encoding and a bit of gaming. I looked around for the best LCD for my needs...

    I just found this funny. ATI Acquires XGI.

    Hahaha lol, ugly tolls. In fact, he's right; all tolls are ugly but I guess he was meaning "trolls"...or something else? Dolls? Rolls? Anyway..

    Upgrade Path

    I personnally have a very similar setup (3 GHz P4, 1 gig of ram). I've been playing a bit of HL2 and FEAR on it (my video card was a Radeon X800XT PE). On the resolution I played (1280x1024), I was able to have *almost* everything maxed in Half-Life 2 (ATI card) and have pretty good details in...
