I ran into a similar issue a few months ago, and actually tried what 450 suggested. It works, but if you plan to rely on the Audigy to do Dolby Digital decoding note that it does (at least in my experience) add a noticeable and distracting lag to the audio signal. A stereo signal should pass...

I'm curious to know how well the new GX2 board will handle the new PhysX support they're adding. I'm stuck with an X38 board, but if the second chip can run the physics stuff well it might be worth the upgrade from my GTS.

Unfortunately it's the graphics upgrades that are going to sell the PhysX cards to gamers. It's been mentioned here that having gameplay-related features will break gaming communities, and I think that's absolutely true. This is why you can't relate the PPU to the advent of 3D cards. When I...

I was in the same boat a few months ago, looking for a CRT that could do 1600x1200 @85hz. I ended up buying the 21" Viewsonic G220fb. It's a decent CRT, not quite as good as my last Trinitron monitor but it gets the job done. It handles 16x12@85, and does 1920x1440 at I think around 72hz if you...

Didn't hear a peep out of mine.

As the article above shows, LCDs and CRTs update their screens differently. With a CRT, if you want a pixel to light up you shoot it with an electron beam. The phosphorous on the pixel glows for a split second emitting the light that you see, then immediately fades to black. At 60hz, it draws...

Don't forget flicker. Some people can't stand CRTs because of that. Personally if I couldn't run a CRT at 85 hz or higher I'd be a total LCD convert. This is especially important for those long gaming sessions. The ability to run a signal through a DVI output is nice since you don't have to...

Well you said that you play mostly BF2, and I loved playing BF2 on that monitor. Had that been the only game I played, I wouldn't have returned it. Just be aware that there may be some drawbacks when playing other games. The only way to tell if you're okay with it is to try it and weigh the pros...

Thought I'd chime in here, since I just sent my VP191 back to Dell. This was my first LCD purchase (previously used a 19" Trinitron CRT) and since I play a lot of first person shooters I wanted to make sure I got the "best" LCD I could find for response times. Playing BF2 was great. I...
