    120 Hz Lcd tv and HDTV out on video card

    Well that is proof it exists. I'm saying I don't notice it. Spend most of my time on embedded coding/designing systems....don't have to worry about seeing a missile streak by. When I do game, I prefer strategy games, so the lag isn't as important. But yeah, an electron in a vacuum will...

    120 Hz Lcd tv and HDTV out on video card

    Thanks you for the replies. Didn't think I would be able to use the 120 Hz, just an after thought. I'm using the VGA with 1920x1080 @ 60Hz for apps, and 1280x1024 @ 75Hz for games; what little gaming I have time for. If anyone has any recommended settings or tweaks, please share. Overall...

    120 Hz Lcd tv and HDTV out on video card

    I picked up a SAMSUNG ToC 46" 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV w/ DNIe - LN46A650, for a computer monitor. I knew the 60Hz sometimes 75Hz limits on resolutions when using DVI-HDMI and VGA, but I was wondering if new cards(I haven't been keeping up) with HDTV out will allow for the 120Hz to be used? I...

    PHP MySQL apache PHP build question

    I'm getting sick of rebuilding php every time it needed to use a different library. Is there a wild card I can use on the configure line to give me all the libraries php 5.1.6 comes with. Guess what I'm asking for is the ./configure........all bundled libraries and mysql and apache support...

    Fedora 5 Can't change my resolution

    Those lines already are in the xorg.conf. Analogsoul- I have an ATI x850xtpe, I think your right, and the problem has something to do with the card or the pci-e slot.

    The correct video card and monitor show up under administration/display. The only option i get is 640x480. I got a samsung 990DF monitor and a ATI Radeon 850xtpe video card. I have tried using the display options, change resolution option, and the command line randr command. 640x480 is all...

    Which linux is for me?

    SB audigy 2 ZS. I think drivers are the problem, i can't get any sound. ATI x850 XT PE, Linux shows it has the right card, but i can't change my resolution pass 640x480. I downloaded the ati linux 64bit driver, but it won't work with the newer xserver, i think.

    Moderate over clocking goal

    250Htt caused it to reboot as soon as windows started loading. Here is what i ended up with FSB/HTT 230 HTT/4x CPU/11x stock cpu voltage and i upped the dram voltage to 2.9, which the mainboard is showing 2.97v. Unless something seems wrong i think i will stick with this for a while. Im...

    Can you verify if you got Venice core on an Athlon 64 3000+?

    If the computer starts to lock up or restart under heavy load, then the power supply might be too weak. If it works just fine then i would leave it alone. I have a habbit of fixing things that aren't broke.:)

    Moderate over clocking goal

    No luck. I used the setting you suggested and up the voltage to 1.5. The computer hangs for a second right before the "Verifying Pool DMI Data" message would appear, then the computer restarts. Any idea what i did wrong? Opps found my mistake, I have ocz ddr 500 gold ram. Could this be my...

    Can you verify if you got Venice core on an Athlon 64 3000+?

    Correct if I am wrong, but does that board have the D.O.T? Dynamic over clocking tech? If so, my friend got it up to 6% before his corsair value select ram started giving him errors. Also you may need a bios update, the bios reported the CPU temp 10c too hot for my friend, until he got the...

    I have read the "AMD64 overclocking how to," very informative and I thank the author. However I don't really want to find my max, or run at 95% of max right now. I would like a nice performance boost. If there is anyone who knows my motherboard and would care to tell me the setting to get my...

    3.7 amd64 san seems to be running a little hot

    I haven't overclocked at all. Im getting ready to and i wanted to check if 37c at idle was too hot. I ran cpu burn-in for 3 hours, it only went up 1c. Think im good for some moderate overclocking, i have low goals. I would like to run a 2.6 ghz. I read the sticky "How to overclock amd64"...
