So Im sitting in history class this moring taking a test and I noticed the teachers moniter blurred and went black. There were a few bags ontop of it but I didnt think anything of it and thought it was just the screen saver.
A few seconds later I hear the kid infront of me casually say...
I have had the 1704FPV for just under a year and this week, after moving my system, I noticed the UBS ports on the moniter weren't functioning anymore. I double checked and the Wire is hooked up and nothing was damaged in the move.
Once in a while it will give the "new hardware found" and...

I recently went to order some Ballistix ram from Newegg when I stumbled across a review saying that the older (P/N 47072) version will not work with the newer (P/N 58092) version. My two 512mb sticks were bought back in march and have the older number. I thought I read it somewhere else after...

It started with the jointly developed cell processor (omg i cant spell that...help) and its truly a sight to behold. From what i gather it can max out at 4.6ghz. While i Know clock speed means nothing (2.6ghz FX55) but the cell running at 3.2ghz is unlike anything else before it. So imagine...

The leadtek 6600gt overclocks very well , or so ive read, and that is influincing my decision on a 6600GT based card. But how well does evga's offering OC? If it performs well i might buy that instead.

the 49ers sucked this year. its tough as a fan to say that but there. 3 inexperienced QBs and a helping of other problems made a 2-14 record. but could a couple good off season moves put them back up top?

By now everyone knows the latest addition to rockstars flagship gta series will come to PC. but any news if midnight club 3 will do the same. if so will it release at the same time or be ported later.
i just finished installing my athlon 64 3000, dfi lanparty ut nf3 250gb. now i need ram. i was looking at crucial 512mb pc3200 at newegg for $110 but i am open to seguestions (only have $130 left).
Although their systems are terrible dell offers some nice moniters and many people here seem to have them. Im lookin at a Dell? UltraSharp? 1704FPV 17-inch for the low price of $300. Does low price and 25ms response time mean low gaming and vidio quality?
I know this thread has been posted a million times but 1 more wont kill you. LCD moniters have drivin me crazy (try to choose , lol) so help would be appreciated. (Need this moniter for DVDs ,but more importantly - gaming). Thanx
Does a DVI imput really make a significant difference in picture quality? i mean if it comes to spendin an extra 50 bucks on a moniter that has it than one that dosn't?
Im in the middle of lookin for a new lcd moniter and have heard good things about the SONY SDM-S74/B.
Its supposed to be good for gaming (which is about 75% of my pc use) but i was wondering how good the picture quality is for TV and DVDs compared to other LCDs <$400.
