    Laptop choice help

    Hello everyone, My girlfriend and I have narrowed it down to two choices and I would really appreciate some input. They are both at Fry's so we have had a chance to look at both of them. The Lenovo Z585 with A10-4600M Acer V3-551G X419. Both are practically the same but the Acer...

    ASUS P8P67Pro Troubles; On Second RMA

    What is silly about ASUS right now with this warranty; they are claiming that to go from my current B2 Revision motherboard (which is the RMA mobo they sent me which came today) is an upgrade which they will not honor. So I says, "Don't you think sending me another motherboard with the B2...

    ASUS P8P67Pro Troubles; On Second RMA

    Hey Anandtechers, I just wanted to make sure I was on the right path here with dealing with this Motherboard. About two weeks ago I RMA'd my ASUS P8P67Pro. One day, all of a sudden (I was listening to music and hanging with my girlfriend), my computer froze. Ctrl-alt-del didn't work...

    Today is the Day that Video Games Died

    I had to climb out of the ashes of hell just to say, indeed, this is quite a fatal blow. R.I.P. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Now to HL3. Us computer gamers last saving grace.

    ASUS P8P67 Pro RAM Issues and BIOS Flash (Fix)

    I have to agree with both sides here. I've had to flash bios' in the past and did so with floppy disks with no problems. I've also had to flash with a USB when the floppy was not available. I remember flashing on an old, finicky 939. I called ASUS tech to get some help and the gentlemen on...

    ASUS P8P67 Pro RAM Issues and BIOS Flash (Fix)

    FYI your links are from 2007... Things are very different now. Furthermore, ASUS Technical support is not allowed to go into their own forums "because of all the misinformation that is thrown about." I trust a technical representative from the motherboard manufacturer over a user's post from...

    Who's going to Miro Center 1/9/2011?

    I didn't have to because they price matched me at Fry's which was 1 hour closer... I was sweatin' because Microcenter had not taken the "special" offline and made it store pick-up only when I was getting price match. The guy behind me was not so fortunate. As soon as they gave me the price...

    How important is monitor response time?

    The first hit on google shows the first monitor to be TN. I typed in "E233Hbd panel type" so you could probably do the same for the others and find out.

    How important is monitor response time?

    A little bit of investigative work and resourcefulness should give you the answers ;) or You could ask one of the many search engines, I'm sure they'd know.

    How important is monitor response time?

    Totally disagree unless you play professionally. TN is a cheaper LCD technology therefore does not and cannot offer the quality of experience that an IPS does. If your eyes can notice the difference between 2 and 5ms then they surely can notice the viewing angles and incomplete color...

    [Retired] The LCD Thread

    This is where I would completely disagree with you. With the benefits of color accuracy and pure beauty that IPS panels offer over TN panels, as well as the negligible input lag and response times that I have witnessed first hand between the two, quality IPS panels far outweigh TN panels in...

    No thanks, I would like to stay legitimate. I understand Win7 might be the best option available however, I wanted to use Ubuntu or Linux as those options are free for download. Will either of those options work well enough?

    Ultra-Budget Net Machine

    Thanks everyone. Let me frame the question this way. You want to build the absolute cheapest and smallest computer you can using new parts only (sale/not on sale/oem/whatever). It has to be able to Internet/Email and a decently small HDD (+200GB). From there you could choose to upgrade...

    Help with Monitor NEC 90GX2

    Yes, I have tried another video card. It is definitely the monitor. It is an NEC 90GX2 and warranty is up. Looking for other options that have the same quality and larger screen space. Would really like to have a 16:10 format or the format that isn't widescreen.

    MacBook Pro VS E8400 build; which runs faster?

    Look at your specs again. It seems the only thing holding you back is the video card. Everything else is superiour to the Macbook. Sorry man, that's a resource intensive game. You can buy a 9 series Nvidia or a cheap 4xxx/5xxx Radeon and set everything to low/medium if you are not a gamer...

    Mirror's Edge: WTF

    Awesome concept, poor execution. I still had a great time with it and furthermore, it gave me a little of that "wow" factor first hour or so. Definitely got repetitive, but one of the more interesting titles that could have gone somewhere so awesome if EA didn't castrate it, tear it's...
