    Vista is getting an undeserved bad rap

    I got laughed at for posting this in another thread but here I go again … nvidia fixed the Texas hold-em bug with the new beta drivers 158.18 :)

    158.18 Official Betas Vista Only

    That does make sense and if it was meant in that way then I apologize for being a bit too sensitive. :) I do tend to agree that going from 200 to 240 fps is more than likely not noticeable by the human eye (well mine anyway) but I just wanted to post that at least for me I did see a big...

    158.18 Official Betas Vista Only

    I take it by your reaction you do not believe what i wrote. Well all i can say is when i ran the stress test before these drivers i got around 197 fps and after installing these drivers i get around 240 fps. ;)

    158.18 Official Betas Vista Only

    So far so good ...these drivers cleared up some issues I was having, mainly Texas hold-em now works, the included chess game no longer crashes, and I got a 40 fps increase in counter strike source.

    The game that started it all!

    Kings Quest on an apple IIC (what memories) and doom on my first PC (I believe a 386/25, couldn’t afford the 33 version). :)

    Vista Gaming tips

    I just installed Vista on Friday. So far the only game I have installed is Counter strike source. It runs extremely well with all settings maxed. But since I have a high end machine I don’t think what I am getting is indicative to what others are getting frame rate wise. I will be...

    I am taking the Vista plunge...

    The only reason I consider it a negative is in prior installations of “older” operating systems this was not an issue (I have used raptor’s before in the very same case). Now, I know as you have posted, this is a “good” thing. And as I have posted I am aware that...

    I am taking the Vista plunge...

    Well, I have had Vista running for a day now and so far I like it. I have all my external hardware working (two printers/label maker/NAS/router/hub). I even tried dreamescene, wasn’t all that impressed with it, maybe if the scenes/video’s were higher in resolution it would look better. The...

    I am taking the Vista plunge...

    Bbz_ghost, I just took the plunge myself. So far so good, but yes it is hard to get the “xp doesn’t do it this way” thought out of my head. ;) I will be reading as many posts as I can find on tips and tricks for Vista.

    Dual Core or Quad Core?

    LOL, there are a lot of factors to consider but otherwise i would tend to agree. ;)

    Official Dell 2707WFP Thread !!! Info, Pictures, Reviews

    Again, i haven't played much CSS yet. But what little I have played, I have not seen much of a difference between the two monitor’s. As for the 2707 looking grainy, to my eyes, I do not see any “grain” in the frame. I do not think you can go wrong with either monitor in regards to CSS...

    Official Dell 2707WFP Thread !!! Info, Pictures, Reviews

    Just hooked up the monitor and so far as a very quick observation text is much bigger (to my eyes) on this display compared to when I view text on my 3007. I didn’t think there would be that big of a difference between viewing text on a 27” display running at 19x12 versus viewing on a 30”...

    Fedx just dropped off my 2707. Can't hook it up just yet but will be able to later. I also have a 3007 so i should be able to post some differences between the two.
