This might not help with exactly the setup you have but might at least forestall worries about the wrong issues. I installed Red Hat 7.3 on an AT7 Max with no problems. Well, I chose a bad video setting at the end, and the install froze, leaving me to muck around figuring out video...

No arguments here about temperatures of processors or RAM or cases. What makes me raise an eyebrow is the story about one processor making an entire room hotter. One of the reasons people give for the discrepancies in temperature between Athlons and P4's is that, even when they create the same...

Ok, so there's a thread discussing some 8500 vs. 4200 issues. But people aren't talking about two important things: 1) 2D quality is mentioned, but clear statements, not to mention evidence, is lacking. 2) Linux quality and performance

A couple quick things: I apologize for this thread if it duplicates an existing one. I was a little surprised not to be able to find a thread covering this topic with all the talk about these cards lately. If it does, feel free to ignore it and just point me to the other thread. In one...

I'm looking to buy a graphics card now. Decent video-playback, speed at high resolutions, and OpenGL support are important. The very latest and fastest game support is not. I'm running Linux. I'm considering the Radeon 8500, Radeon 8500LE, and GeForce4 Ti4200. Comparisons I can find at the...

NEC's FP955 page says that it's shadow mask. In any case, thanks for the input on AG vs. SM.

Awful how? Noticeably frame lag? Reduced image quality? Please be as specific as you can so I can decide if I'm completely abandoning the hope of running at 1920x1440. Also, on the subject of Radeon 8500's, what's the diff between the 8500 and the 8500LE?

I'm actually planning just to run Linux. That means no Windows Control Panel issues. Of course, I suppose it's possible I may have issues in Linux, too, though I doubt it. Anybody know about that? The ATI Radeon 8500LE claims to do 1920x1440 @90Hz (and apparently has a Linux driver available...

I was told that Compaq never sent that batch of 100, so CDW couldn't fulfill the orders they took for them. I was offered other, inferior 19" monitors near in price as "substitutes". My appetite whetted by expectations of such a nice monitor, I responded with a list of monitors I considered...

One thing I wonder about with the NEC FP955 is that it's a shadow mask tube rather than aperture grille. A lot of people around here seem to like AG better, though I know shadow mask also has its adherents. Why, for each case? At this point I'm still leaning towards the ViewSonic P95F+, since...

No opinions? Suggestions on other models comparable in price & quality?

I am considering ordering one of the following flat-screen 19" monitors (w/ refresh rate in Hz @1920x1440): Compaq p920 (70) Iiyama Vision Master Pro 454 (85) NEC MultiSync FP955 (73) NEC MultiSync FP912sb (73) Mitsubishi DP930sb (apparently exactly the same as the NEC FP912sb) (73) Philips...

I placed my order 08/16, the day after they were supposed to receive 100 more p900 monitors, and I was told they hadn't arrived yet but were expected any day, and 44 of the 100 were spoken for. So I placed an order and looked forward to receiving my goods. Time passed, and nothing. I finally...

Are the issues discussed in that article just as relevant now with 7.3 running on all new hardware? It's worrisome that RHL could be wasting much of the potential of my controller & drives and I haven't seen this issue raised in performance tuning (or, better, standard system installation!)...

With all the people bashing imtim83 for various things, how is everybody letting one of the worst claims made here go unchallenged? The idea that "percentages are misleading" is nonsense. If the standard card (say, the GF4 Ti4600) makes 20fps on a particular game, that game demands an awful...
