TBH there are already people posting on the OcUK forums that have the E6600 and the X6800. The only difference between both is the stock speed and the fact that you can adjust the multiplier on the X6800.
Both CPU's have been clocked up to 3.6Ghz and ran under load running "dual prime" on air...
Why would you want realism, its a game and Arcade game made for pleasure and fun. We want escapism, the laws of world physics dont apply. We want fun and excitement. If you enjoy FPS games but require more realism, join the Army and be all you can be. If you want realistic driving games, get in...
Guys... dont miss the point about the X360.
For a PC gamer who plays FPS, your PC will never be beaten, due to the controlability. A console controller will never make the grade when you are talkng about Hardcore FPS multiplayer.
However...
You will never beat Consoles when it comes...
I think I missed a crucial word BACK
It should have read "I would be utterly depressed if I had to go BACK to res less than 1920 x 1200". Once you play HL2 in 1920 x 1200 on a 24" Widescreen, pushing dual 6800 Ultra's in SLI you can't even look at a Playstation / X box without squinting...
Im not going to get into an argument with you over what are the best controls for gaming, as I know that Keyboard and Mouse win hand down, apart from playing racing or fighting games, which we have PC gaming pads for.....
I have an xBox and a PS2, well; they are my sons, but I enjoy...
Buttons...lol
Using Enemy Territory/RTCW as a quick example
12345678 for weapon change.
WASD
F action/ open close etc
C crouch
Shift run
CTRL walk.
Q Lean Left
E Lean Right
lol... I can on and on
B Binoculars
P drop weapon/pick another up.
V +...
People should get over the hype of these new consoles. PC' s and PC games are always going to be the leaders when it comes to gaming, to the true gamer that is!!!
I would be totally and utterly depressed if I had to go to any game that had a resoloution lower than 1920 x 1200. Imagine...
If you are looking forward to Battlefield 2 as much as I am, you will love these new Demo Video's
Check em out
These are well worth the download, the game is so much better than my already high expectations.
I have sky multirooms in my room so have a digi-box. I have a cable that has Scart to S-VHS.
I cannot get my monitor to display using this cable, although I have got it working through composite.
Am I doing something wrong!!
Paul please check your PM mate!!
I have just ordered that Keyboard, I couldn't resist, I have been looking at it all week as I want something to replace my current keyboard that doesn't really go with the colour of my new monitor!!
I'm loving the 2405 BTW, one sweet bit of kit...
You would be better off buying the 2405 as it has connectivity for TV and has the higher resolutions you require of 1920 x 1200
Get a 2405FPW not a 26" TV
LMFAO
There is no screen door effect, thats my shit camera.
I can assure you that it looks nothing like that lol
I thought that shot would get some of you worried hahahaha!!! :D
Im really not that bothered about how much this panel cost, I am unbias. If the monitor was not good...
I hope these pics satisfy some of the things you wanted to see..
My fecKing batteries in the camera need recharging :( so will not be able to do anymore tonight!!
The monitor is absaloutely superb. Read the reviews, look at the pics, look at the price...its a bargain, easily the best upgrade to my PC...... EVER and thats saying something!!!
Please research before you make silly comments like, you need an SLI $1000 G-card set-up to run it, that...
With those darker shots, right mouse click and save as, then change your desktop wallpaper to black and mount them as your wallpaper but do not stretch ..use center
Then you will not have the whiteness of the imageshack website blurring the image!!
give it a try!!
Unfortunately I think I reduced them too much, I will get them back to there original size and post tomorrow, (as its very late here in the UK at the moment)
Let me tell you..
There is not backlight leakage issue with this monitor, NONE WHATSOEVER!!!
What you see is what I see...
The first 2 pics are to display any backlight leakage and there is NONE!!!
This monitor is more than awesome...its f0oking fantastic!!
If you are going to make one purchase for your PC and or you fancy treating yourself......... you have to have one of these things!!
These pics do not...
Congrats Weavus, I think you are one if not the first person to have taken delivery in England.
Im still sitting in fornt of my window...watching...waitng...but still....nothing :(
Although it should be here anytime soon!!!

* PAL problem may be from macrovision on the DVD player. Just a guess as 50Hz & 60Hz usually works fine on S Video inputs, perhaps the unit has a problem with componet or what was used. Alternatively it might be rare incompatiblility...
Lets hope we dont have any pictures of backlight leakage and missing pixels. Only pictures with stunning viuals and clarity using several different types of media equipment!!
:D
I don't think anyone in the UK has actually taken delivery of one of these babies, "BUT" I have just been and had a look at the ETA on my monitor and it has been dispatched to my address already!! I may be one of the first people in England to have my hands on it :D, that would make my day!!!
Yeah Weavus!!
My monitor arrived at Coventry last night and the delivery date is scheduled for tomorrow!!
Thats unbelieveable, I wasn't expecting it to be until at least late next week!! bit of a bonus really!!!
Select the catergory and then search!!
Most people know or have heard of this site. I have just been reading on another thread about high rez wallpapers and thought due to the amount of larger screens being purchased, this would be a good place to look for wallpapers to suit!!!Click me !!!
That Card will probably be fine, I have run games in 1600 x 1200 and higher on a GeForce 4 TI4600 and they have run pretty smoothly.
If you are going to get a card and your system is AGP then I would go for the 6800GT as it will be perfect for all your computing requirements.
If you want...
