    Can't get monitor to work unless safe mode

    It isn't really a monitor problem. If you noticed, I mentioned that she couldn't even get a signal on her monitor(s). To add to the post.. She went and bought a new monitor and new cord and still the same thing. It has to do with the computer not giving signal to the monitor when trying to run...

    PS3 Netflix only outputs at 480i

    Dang. It pisses me off too that the house directly in front of me can get cable ( I have to resort with DSL) with speeds of like 15mbps I believe. I hate this pitiful DSL.. Downloading at 300kb on a good day. How much friggin money does it cost to just run a line a couple hundred feet.

    PS3 Netflix only outputs at 480i

    Netflix disk. Yes. Netflix sends you a disk (for PS3) to be able to stream movies from Netflix on your PS3. My tv is a LG 42LH30. By saying that 1080p works.. I have watched movies at 1080p. Anyway.. So if its my internet connection.. then I have no options. It doesn't look terrible.. just not...

    PS3 Netflix only outputs at 480i

    I just got the PS3 Netflix disk. My tv outputs in 1080p at max... so anyway, I put the disk in and start running it. I check the tv and its at 720p. Which is fine... but once I start playing an HD movie.. it goes to 480i. I play a non-HD movie and its still 480i. Of course, the HD movies look...

    the Iphone 3g..

    I don't really know about that... Do they come with one?

    the Iphone 3g..

    Its brand new though.. the good thing about it is not having to deal with contracts and I work with him.. so I don't have to deal with ebay and shipping.. and I can also pay $200 up front.. and the rest later

    the Iphone 3g..

    Yeah. I should probably wait till April when I can upgrade and get the 3Gs then.. although.. There is a new one coming out. So I wish I could wait till then.. I just want one.

    AMD Phenom II x4 955 $194.99 at Ewiz.com http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?name=HDZ955FBBX Great great deal considering I just bought a 940 a few weeks ago for $189 when this 955 was like $245 at that time or somewhere around there.

    Price cuts for 4800 series

    Crap. Just bought a Radeon 4770 for $100 yesterday. Could wait a month and get a 4870 for not much more than that... or a 4890.

    Xfire 4850 vs 4770

    Thanks again. You can get the 4890 for around $200 on average with rebates, etc. - sometimes cheaper. Thought about buying the 4770 today.. but I think I might wait 2 more weeks till next payday and get it with the CPU/Mobo. I have bought everything else already except CPU/Mobo/GPU. I also...

    Xfire 4850 vs 4770

    Thanks! I might do that. Buy 1 4770 and then after I upgrade my monitor, I can opt for a second.. And the 4770 might be even cheaper then.

    Xfire 4850 vs 4770

    I am debating on which to get. I could get 2 4770s or 2 4850s for roughly the same price (+/- $10). It would make since that the 4850 would be faster in xfire, but there have been so much hype over the 4770. Anyone have anything that shows the difference? If it helps... My max...

    Top to bottom ATI DX11 launch 2009

    So I guess I should just get two 4770s and wait till these newer cards come out rather than spending on 1 4890. I thought about xfiring 2 4890s.. but there would probabbly be better choices by the time I did that, so I will just get 2 4770s with better performance than 4890.

    HIS Radeon 4890 1GB - $163 + S/H *Hurry - Expiring TODAY*

    So does Cashback actually work for these?

    How much RAM.

    Confused... Did the games start playing slow all of a sudden? Or did you get a new monitor and they started going slow? Check and make sure your fan on your videocard is still working.

    HIS Radeon 4890 $199 Newegg

    Well... 2 4770s are faster. But if I want to upgrade past that, I have to ditch them. With getting 1 4890.. Yes, I might lose a few FPS in games.. but I would have the opportunity to upgrade to 2 4890s in the future - and by that time, I would expect these cards to be on the cheaper side. I...

    HIS Radeon 4890 $199 Newegg

    I was originally going to buy 2 4770s.. but now since it won't be till another 3+ weeks before i buy one... I am definitely going with 4890.

    How do I get 16x on my Biostar TA790GX-128 board?

    The paddle card goes into the slot closest to CPU... and the actual GPU goes into the lower slot away from CPU.

    Cards overclocked by default???

    Ok.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16814161278 The radeon 4890. They have the regular version of 850mhz.. but also the OC version at 900mhz... Is there any difference to these cards than if you OCed the 850mhz card yourself to 900mhz?

    Spending around $200-$230 on videocard...

    That is very true. Thanks guys. I probably won't buy it for another month or so, so prices might be even farther down.

    Spending around $200-$230 on videocard...

    Ok. I have kind of narrowed it down between 2 choices. Either 2 Radeon 4770s in Crossfire.. or.. 1 Radeon 4890. Right now I am running at 1280x1024... so its a non issue.. but once I get a new LCD monitor.. running at higher resolutions.. then this will come into play. I noticed...

    Deciding between these two::

    Thanks man. I might definitely buy that one. I am kind of buying this new computer piece by piece.. bought 4GB of ram yesterday. Debating on buying a couple of smaller things next or just saving for mobo/cpu. Gonna go with onboard radeon 3300 for a while then I will get the 4890.
