    It seems Verizon is leaning more towards openness with their 2 upcoming android devices. Most notably, the Motorola Sholes. They are putting big development money, as well as Motorola, behind android.

    Help Louis diagnose his system lockup problem?

    louis, keep in mind just because you ran it within acceptable temps OC'd for 6 months, does not mean you didn't stress the hardware overclocking it. People seem to think just because it passes stress tests and runs cool that it doesn't damage (long term) your HW to OC. My bet is your MB.

    Far Cry 2 Benchmarks / Unbelievable gains

    If you ask me in this game, and COD, the image quality is noticable lower. I would say much lower. Of course maybe it is just more visible on my system, due to the 52 inch LCD monitor. on a 9800gtx OC'd, don't think I can claim a 11% increase as the drivers state. (CPU: OC Q6600)

    New PCIe X-Fi Titanium, and vista 64bit

    9800GX2, still have driver issues?

    I bought my 9800gtx 2 weeks ago, and the price has already dropped $100. I was thinking of returning this card and getting a 9800gx2. Are these cards still having driver issues? Anyone have any problems with games?

    Q6600 Multiplier question

    Q6600 Multiplier question

    I noticed in order to get my gskill ddr2 1000 ram to work at 1000mhz speed, you have to set your bus to 333. My question is, would this effect system performance due to the fact I need to set the multiplier down 8. The system was just built, other wise I wouldn't hesitate to just OC to 3ghz...

    A 1080p LCD TV as a Monitor? How good is it compared to an LCD Monitor

    I will tell you in a couple of days when my Toshiba 52xf550 gets here. Gaming will be insane on this beast. Most of the new TV's have a 'gaming mode' that removes all image processing and give it very low lag. This monitor is SPVA 10bit panel. Show me a PC monitor with a 10bit panel!

    @ Newegg.. $209!.. anyways, is there a way to tell by the model # if it is G0 stepping? I assume most of these chips floating around by now are all G0 stepping but I want to be safe. I got the rest of my system queued up.. well, except for video card.. still pondering that one

    [Retired] The LCD Thread

    I'm curious why you reccomend the 530U. I'm guessing it is due to the Gaming mode, which, the 540, and 550 also have. This mode bypasses video processing to reduce input lag. Also I plan on connecting this to my vid card via HDMI, not RGB input, so in your judgement would the resolution...

    Yesteryday I auditioned the Samsung 650, it was sitting right next to the Toshiba xf550, and I must say the picture quality looked noticably cripser. I'm guessing I can get 120hz refresh rate in PC mode if I turn down the resolution a bit.. Now I have to go read the 6000 post thread on the 650..
