Thanks for you're input guys. For my immediate needs 28 lanes will be fine, but really, I'm thinking about the possible future needs. Which I know is a slippery slope, I just can't help myself sometimes I guess :P The boards I'm currently deciding between are the Asus X99 A II and the X99...

So I'm in the process of specing out an X99 build and am down a rabbit hole of PCIe lane specs. I'm hoping someone here can pull me out of it. :p The main thing I'm wondering is under what circumstances are 40 lanes CPU's necessary other than triple or quad SLI? I'm likely going to be just...

I'm guessing that if you visit HardOCP and you're canadian I don't need to bring this to your attention. BUT just in case http://openmedia.ca/meter If you live in canada and use the internet, you need to sign this petition. Please pass it on to you friends and family as well. :)

More choice is always good. BFG customer service has been a main selling point for me for years. Lets hope they do a dual NV/ATI production line. Make things very interest. :)

and you're sure all of those board support Port Multiplication on the rear eSATA?

Right now lets go with 300 to 500

So I'm looking for a new mobo. I'm planning on using the i7 920 and corsair ram. And hopefully OC to about 3.2 or so. One thing I've been having trouble finding info on is whether or not the eSATA connection on the boards has Port Multiplication. Is it worth trying to find a board with this...

Cool. Thanks for all your help. So now that we're on a roll. Lets say I go with the i7 920 and the EX-58A-UD3R. Any suggestions on the RAM I should get if I'm aiming to OC the 920 to like 3 gigs or so?

Yeah i had forgotten about the 6 cores. That's probably the best compromise. So any recommendations on a good LGA1366 board? I want good on-board sound (I'm no audiophile but appreciate good audio) and need port multiplication on the eSATA ports.

Cool thanks. Danni: My plans for this PC is Gaming and 3D work in maya (so full production work from concept to rendering) So I'm thinking at least 6 gig's of RAM and as much processor might as I can manage. I'm not to worried about price. I didn't think about the windows versions though...

So I'm thinking about doing an upgrade. Not really worried about price to much. I want something inbetween a workstation and a gaming rig. I was wondering if there is any disadvantage to building something with a server board and wanting to be able to play games on it. The dual socket...

I too would like a chance to win. :)

My mom says I'm special...

I've been hearing this, but is there any official documentation? Not that I don't believe you, but MS is less than reliable in these sort of situations. :P

So I've been looking into the upgrade sale they have on now (As most are) But one concern I have is if I get the upgrade version am I going to have to do a double install every time I format my computer? I can't seem to find any clear information on this anywhere. Mircosoft states that if you...

I just did. And I tried the Video card in another computer and 2 different vid cards on the Asus mobo... I'm starting to think this is a mobo problem. I can't even boot to windows now... just hangs after the splash screen.

So I've had the 260 for a while now, say 3 months or so, it's worked great up until last week when my mobo pooched on me. So I went out and got a new one Asus P5N-T Deluxe. Now, after multiple installs of XP (32 and 64) I can't seem to get the card to be recognized. I can install the drivers...

Ok so long story short I've got an RTP300 that won't let me access the router. As in I type in 192.168.15.1 into an empty browser window and I get a page cannot be found error... I was able to access the router without problem, before I restarted my computer. Now all the ports on the router...

yeah that's probably it. Maya is a 64 bit version but photoshop/all adobe products are not. I'm still not sure why they haven't jumped on that bandwaggon yet. Just for reference I have my paging file set at min 2gigs max 4gigs. Thanks for the help. I'm guessing the only thing I can do now...

Ok this is slightly over my head and I'm curious if anyone can help me out. I currently am currently running a 64bit version of windows for my work applications. Maya, Photoshop, After Effects etc. I have 4 gigs of ram available but I'm constantly running into an error saying that windows is...

To the best of my recollection. I can't think of any reason I wouldn't have. How would that effect the situation?

The XP 64 boots fine when I unplug the hard drive that has the 32 bit in it. I can also boot to the 64 bit by putting the hard drive it's on at the top of the boot list in CMOS. So I'm not entirely sure reinstalling will fix it. A friend of mine mentioned that I should look into setting up a...

I wasn't sure where to put this cuz it's kind of a hardware question as well as an OS question. 1. I have been using a 36gig WD Raptor with XP pro on it. I recently acquired XP pro 64 and a 74gig Raptor. I installed the 64 bit on the 74gig HD but it don't get an option to select which OS I...

what could possibly generate that resolution?

Do they even make non 16:10 24" monitors?

I have friends at EA and they all use the 2407 and the 2007... Some guys at ILM as well and at Alias/Autodesk where I work too. Dell is a pretty standard name for corporate usage.

I would never get a widescreen monitor under 24". there is no point. You get more surface area with normal 3:4 aspect monitors that are 20". The 20" widescreen is just chopped down to make it 16:9 or 16:10. And don't even get me started on 22" (biggest scam ever). This is very true Snowdog...

I'm nearly certain that the 245 and the 246 are the same model, just different branding based on location. But I have never heard of the WH model before and I can't seem to find it anywhere that lists tech specs, ie panel type and stuff. But I'd say you're safe going with the 245WP-BN.

That is true. I just like the ability to set colour settings on the monitor itself. But like I said, 899 US, which translates to 1024 CDN for me, is too much for me right now. I'm hoping that when I next buy a monitor it will be more affordable for something of better quality. And I don't think...

this is true. And I did consider going with the apple for some time, but the price is just a turn off. Apple has a habit of taking all the control away from the users and I've heard that if you want to calibrate this monitor off the factory defaults you're kinda shit out of luck. Either way it...

I don't think there is much debate that S-IPS is the superior panel to buy, but trust me there is no 24" panel out there that is under 1000... well none that I could find. I was looking mainly for the 600 to 700 price range, but any IPS that I found were around 1500 and up. For the price the...

The most noticeable thing when playing games is the ghosting, no doubt. I've had a good chance to play a wide range of games on this monitor now and the on thing I can point out as a "flaw" is the ghosting. I find it is more apparent on RTS games for some reason, I've been playing a lot of Black...

So you just decided to be an ass and rub it in all of our faces huh? nice...

I guess for those of us out of the 21 business day return policy we're limited to an exchange?

I do see what you're talking about... and to a point I think it's a defect but I'm not entirely sure that this problem, or another as substantial, wouldn't be evident in other monitors. It's kind of a 6 of one half dozen of another situation we're in with 24" LCD's. I looked at the vid you...

I've got the Dell 2407wfp-HC and there is slight lag and ghosting is noticeable if you're looking for it. I consider myself a pretty hardcore gamer, and if I was doing nothing but gaming on this monitor I'd probably consider switching, but since I do a lot of colour work in photoshop I need it's...

He's sitting on the fence cuz he doesn't want to piss anyone off. And the major difference between 22 and 24 is the resolution. 22' is a waste of money, there is no rez difference between 22 and 20' why bother?

anyone want to receive it for me and ship it to me? hehe
