    Planar 26" and GTX 260 216 ordered and on their way

    The Planar uses the same panel as the 26" version of the 2490WUXi. There isn't much difference in picture quality. It isn't a far better monitor, and actually worse for gaming. The NEC models have more frame buffering junk in them, so they have higher input lag compared to the more bare bones...

    Planar 26" and GTX 260 216 ordered and on their way

    I've had my 26" Planar for several months now and have been pleased with it, other than minor problems RMAing and how they do credit card holds for cross shipping. My first unit had 2 dead pixels right in the center. I RMA'd that one, only to receive an even worse unit (this one didn't even...

    I think you'll be hard pressed to find anything in your price range that is 8-bit and low latency that isn't either an expensive IPS panel or a PVA panel riddled with input lag.

    Defective 4870 killed motherboard

    I've had this problem before, on two separate computers. It turned out to be a problem with certain motherboards and higher voltage memory, namely any that required 2.3V. I put in my lower voltage memory and everything worked fine in both cases.

    Where are the Age of Conan Reviews?

    It is an ok game so far. It definitely has some balance issues and bugs that need to be worked out though. Some of the animations are very crude as well. I've played a Dark Templar to 28 only to find out that it is basically gimped for PVP currently. I've switched to a Conqueror which...

    Lets talk about Age of Conan (MMO)

    Anyone else having trouble patching? I'm guessing it is just the patch server being under heavy load, since it'll burst a megabyte or two then just die from anywhere between 1-30 minutes. Doesn't make it any less annoying though.

    Haze came out finally.

    I played the demo (which was supposedly from E3 2007, or so I heard), and wasn't particularly impressed. The nectar system doesn't seem to serve any purpose except to restore health and make your enemies easier to see, the other benefits are negligible.

    Should illegal immigrants get tax stimulus check?

    To qualify for the stimulus check you have to pay what, $3,000 in income tax wasn't it? Sure, tell them to give us $3,000 and we'll turn around and give them $600 back.

    Name the hardest console RPG boss you ever fight and reason.

    I beat him at level 83 without much difficulty. I never really think of them as "hard", since all you have to do is level up enough to kill them. It is more time consuming than anything.

    Questions about hooking up a LCD TV to my PC

    You don't need a DVI input specifically. There are adapters for just about anything out there, but your best bet would be to get a DVI -> HDMI adapter. Some TVs come with a VGA input specifically added for PC usage (Viewsonic N3760W for example). You can run sound from the PC to the TV, but...
