Ordered 2005FPW, 6800GT, and TV Wonder Elite...

[PricklyPete]

Can't wait to get all of these in. The 6800GT should offer me the goods to get some full resolution gaming in on the 2005FPW (replacing my 9800PRO) and the TV Wonder Elite should prove to be quite useful as a PVR device (at least I'm hoping).

This will be a nice addition to my system:

A64 3200+
1 GB PC3200
Audigy 2

sounds kickass...

I'm really anxious to see how the TV Wonder Elite PVR function works. I wasn't able to find any reviews on it...but I've always had good luck with my ATI products and it seemed to have everything I was looking for.

I'm also anxious to see how HL2 and Doom 3 look widescreen on the new LCD...so beautiful.

Will do. I'm curious how decent it will be in comparison to using something like Tivo.

The ATI TV Wonder Elite was first place on the AT MCE TV Tuner roundup.

I'm personally looking at the $75 Sapphire Theatrix Theater 550, which has the same Rage Theater 550 chipset but doesn't carry the BBA price premium. The only downside is that the remote is not nearly as good as the ATi one, but there are decent MCE remotes that can be had for realtively cheap.

So does the 9800Pro 256 not support the 2005FPW's native resolution? Or did you just want some more power? I have the 9800 Pro 256 myself and I am about to buy a 2005FPW and a ATI TV Wonder Elite. Am I about to get screwed?

All cards that came out past couple of years will support the resolution. My Radeon 9700 Pro is fine for the monitor. He probably got 6800GT so he can game in the native resolution, which is much higher that 15' and 17 LCDs.

When you get your 2005FPW, check for backlight bleeding along the edges. I hears it's pretty bad.

My 2005FPW should be here very very soon

HOLY Crap, Dell has some fast shipping for ground ( 3-5 days ). It was shipped yesterday and it already was almost Delivered ... I wasn't home 🙁
