    pci riser card advice in 1U chassis

    Hi all, Here's my problem: I have a 1U rig with a G965 uATX motherboard in it. I need it to accept an expansion card, a pci firewire b card. To do this, I'll need a pci riser card. Problem is, I don't know anything about them. First of all, all of the cards I have seen so far are either...

    processor suggestion for brute force calculations?

    Thanks for all your input guys. Dual-core is a must for me because I can definitely take advantage of it. But after listening to your thoughts I've decided to go with the X2 3800+. Its actually not even $100 more because nForce4 mobos with integrated video are cheaper than i945gs. I really...

    processor suggestion for brute force calculations?

    I'm running a program I wrote for MS visual C# that needs to needs to process data in real time. All it does is lots of basic arithmetic calculations- multiplying and adding large doubles. So pretty much as long as the system is a little faster than a dell laptop Core Duo 1.8ghz (E1505, thats my...

    Dualview question

    I've been using dual monitors for a while now, and I love it. It definitely makes working on the computer a lot more convenient. One question though: Lets say I'm playing a game, and I have a text document or something on the other screen. Whenever I click on the document (so I can scroll...

    How to disable touchpad?

    Hey everyone, I just got my i9300, and its real nice. I got one problem though, whenever i type, i rest my palms on the surface on the laptop, usually right over the touchpad. Whenever i accidentally brush the surface of the touchpad, it registers as a mouseclick. Thus, when im typing...

    Do any laptop graphics cards have dual outputs?

    The Dell 9300/XPS-2 use the 6800 Go, right? So their having a dvi and vga output is dependent on the video card? Thus, any laptop with a 6800 Go would also have the same outputs? Or is it manufacturer dependent instead?

    1905fp, 2005fpw, 2001fp, which lcd to get?

    Thanks for the replies. I guess it is the dop pitch that makes the difference DP(mm) 15"- 0.297 17"- 0.264 19"- 0.294 2001fp(20.1")- 0.255 So I think i will go with a 19" after all. I agree that text is easy to read because it is so sharp, but still, I just don't like looking at tiny...

    1905fp, 2005fpw, 2001fp, which lcd to get?

    Thanks bjc, But just to make sure, the most important thing to me is that the text is big enough to read. As in have you ever seen a 15" and 17" lcd side by side? At their native resolutions, normal text is big on the 15(a little too big actually) but IMO at least, a little too small on the...

    1905fp, 2005fpw, 2001fp, which lcd to get?

    I was originally planning on getting a 1905fp, because a 19" lcd is more than enough for me, and it costs less. But, after reading all these threads about the 2005fpw and 2001fp, I'm not sure anymore. Basically, all I will be doing is windows work, but I will need a lot of screen space. The...
