    Looking for WS 22" Monitor

    :confused: I thought I had read that it hadn't. Thanks for the info. As for the tearing, I understood you in your first post. That was what I meant with the 100Hz/100fps; 75Hz/75fps. My point was that the LCD forced me to play at 60fps if I wanted no tearing and I "feel" a slight but...

    Looking for WS 22" Monitor

    The Nec doesn't have hardware scalling, I think. The BenQ and the Dells were outside of my budget. As for tearing, you're right but, in those games where my card can't put the 100+ fps (almost all of the new releases), I notice the tearing :(:( Finally, the color reproduction issue. I...

    ATi just released the Cats 7.8

    What they should do is FIX THE #$#%& PIXEL MAPPING / CORRECT ASPECT RATIO ON WIDE LCDs :|

    Looking for WS 22" Monitor

    Yesterday I returned my brand new Samsung 226BW. It was a fine monitor but the overall feeling is that LCD is (still) not as good as a good CRT (for gaming). The main point in my decision was finding out that I can't live without pixel mapping and aspect ratio scaling. I know, I know, the...

    Returning my Westinghouse 37" LVM-37W3

    Same here. Yesterday I returned my brand new Samsung 226BW. It was a fine monitor but the overall feeling is that LCD is (still) not as good as a good CRT (for gaming). The main point in my decision was finding out that I can't live without pixel mapping and aspect ratio scaling. I...

    LCD montitors 1:1 pixel match

    I've returned the 226bw. I can't live without pixel mapping and aspect ratio scaling :( I know, I know, the nVidia cards can do that on any monitor. But I won't/can't spend the money on the monitor and on a new card. And then other little things started to annoy me in this monitor. -...

    UPDATE: I pull the trigger on the LG 226WT

    That's how I feel :( When I got this card I didn't knew about this issue because I only used a CRT. Now that the CRT is dying I got a 226bw, after being told that it had pixel mapping. I returned it after finding that it didn't but I'm still searching for a good LCD that has that feature...

    UPDATE: I pull the trigger on the LG 226WT

    I know someone said pixel mapping was supported but I'm not sure if it's not the video card that's doing the pixel mapping in his/her case. What I want to know is: Has the 226WT built-in pixel mapping or not? I have an ATI card so I can't use pixel mapping unless the LCD supports it...

    LCD montitors 1:1 pixel match

    I've bought a 226BW thinking it had that feature but can't find it :( Does someone know if it has it? If so, how to activate it? I've an ATI X1800XT, so I can't use the driver solution :| Thank you.

    Help Please? Poor oc results with A64 3200 (Clawhammer)+MSI K8 Neo3

    Yes, it's a good ideia, but, unfortunately, on my side of the ocean, the 754 can't be found anywhere anymore. Even used it's difficult to find. I've been searching but only found 3200 or lower until now.

    Help Please? Poor oc results with A64 3200 (Clawhammer)+MSI K8 Neo3

    No. The motherboard only allows 1,50v for the CPU, maximum. That's why I called it crappy :D. I had a better board (MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum) but I "downgraded" to this one so that I could use the X1800 without having to buy a new CPU. All the other PCI Express boards were 939 only. Well...

    Help Please? Poor oc results with A64 3200 (Clawhammer)+MSI K8 Neo3

    I give up. Even with the HT at 2x and the RAM at 100, over 230 it's unstable. I guess is a combination of not too good CPU for oc and crappy motherboard... :( Now, my next step is the X1800XT. Thank you all for your advices :)

    Help Please? Poor oc results with A64 3200 (Clawhammer)+MSI K8 Neo3

    not really, the X1800 also gets in the way, along with the USB cables... But to be honest, I didn't try. Maybe it's a bit easier.

    Help Please? Poor oc results with A64 3200 (Clawhammer)+MSI K8 Neo3

    I'll try that, myocardia, thanks for the advice. Later I'll post the results. PingSpike, I've already tried to stress the CPU but with a 3x mutiplier and it went to 230, tops. But, if myocardia is right, the voltage was to low. Time to go back to the wonderful world of CMOS reset... it's a...

    Help Please? Poor oc results with A64 3200 (Clawhammer)+MSI K8 Neo3

    Thank you. I already tried lowering the HT to 3x and even so the machine became unstable at FSB 230-240. Most times it didn't even booted. As 230x3=690 < 800 I thought the problem couldn't be the HT multiplier... :confused: I will try and run it at HT 2x but isn't too low? Will it not hurt...

    Help Please? Poor oc results with A64 3200 (Clawhammer)+MSI K8 Neo3

    Hello and greetings. I have a A64 3200+ (skt754) with a MSI K8 Neo3 and 2x512 OCZ PC3700 EB (466). I knew that it was possible to oc this machine but never tried it for lack of time/patience. Finally I've tried and only been able to do a 222x10 FSB (4xHT) = 2220MHz, without lowering the...

    Game Rendezvous with Rama - Wanted

    Yes, the style is completely different and the story focused, IMO, too much on the social tensions between the different (human) groups aboard the ship. It became a description not of the wonders and awe of the contact with an alien technology but of the crapiness of having to deal with human...

    I also have two copies of the book (one in portuguese and the other in english). It's a great book, like most of Arthur C. C. books. The sequels aren't that good, though...

    Game Rendezvous with Rama - Wanted

    Greetings. I would like to add this old game to my collection of classics. I don't find it at online stores, not even amazon. Anyone has it and want to sell or give ;)? The game is based on Arthur C. Clarke's sci-fi book of the same name and it's of the puzzle solving genre. Thank you.

    Are there any issues with X-Fi and the ASUS A8N-SLI Premium?

    Yes, I've tried all the usual stuff (bios, drivers, etc.). I didn't tried putting the sound card in a diferent slot because it was already in the most distant slot from the PCIe. I've seen that many have tried that with some sucess but now it doesn't matter anymore. I've rma'd the X-Fi and am...

    Are there any issues with X-Fi and the ASUS A8N-SLI Premium?

    Yes, IMHO Creative has good hardware but bad software. And without software, hardware is just metallic, shiny junk... But in this case, the problem lies also on the motherboards side. In most situations, new bios have resolved the problem. And Creative has been replacing the cards that cause...

    Are there any issues with X-Fi and the ASUS A8N-SLI Premium?

    Not all users have this problem. I suppose it's a minority, or else it would be more known. As have been stated in the foruns I've mentioned in my previous post, there is no easy way to know wich X-Fi + nforce4 combination will give the problems, but it seems to only happen with the first X-Fi...

    Are there any issues with X-Fi and the ASUS A8N-SLI Premium?

    YES. The XtremeMusic and the Platinum have an incompatibility issue with some bios versions of the nf4 chipsets. Most users report that the problems disappear with the latest bios version, but in my case, the problem didn't go away :( (I've a MSI K8N Neo3 with the latest bios). I'm waiting...
