Just like the title, I'm not sure how I got my monitor into 1:1 pixel mapping @ 1600x1200 for WC3. I had it like that before on my G92, but now it's back to 1920x1200 on my 4870x2. I go to the menu on the monitor, but I can't access the display mode controls, they are grayed out. I'm running a...

GG ATI, my card came and does not fit into my motherboard (P5Q Deluxe). I can't believe this. There's two caps right at the edge of the board that it seems to hit. My 8800gts g92 fits fine, but I can't seem to get the back part of the card into the PCI-E slot. Idk if it's ATI or Asus's fault...

Let's see, here are the cards that I actually remember. 1) Geforce Riva TNT2 (this was before I knew anything about computers) 2) Geforce 4 Ti4600 (with Tt Orb cooler and ram heatsinks on my custom Voodoo F-Class ~ 2000 for $4300) 3) Geforce 6800Ultra AGP 8x (first built computer with an...

Hi, I have a P182SE and I'm trying to fit the back side panel on, but some of the sata cable end pieces are too thick, causing a buldge (and I broke 3/6 cheap ass plastic links off and am now waiting for my super glue to dry). So my question is, can I cut the plastic end pieces off and not cause...

Hi, I'm presenting an accounting case on Samsung memory. Basically, the case revolves around their decision to ceed the lower market segment (DDR1 ~2004) to the Chinese who are selling at below cost (due to the strong government support) and focus on the high end (DDR2). Anyways, I wanted to...

So does anyone know how the 1:1 pixel mapping works on a DVI and/or why my VGA doesn't work? I may be returning if it's just a bad port

Ok, when I connect the D-Sub cable to my 7600GS it doesn't recognize any input. The DVI works fine, but the VGA does not. I need the VGA for 1:1 pixel mapping right, as display options are disabled with my DVI. Please help

Question, can you just take a loaded hard drive and plug it into a new computer or do you have to erased the partitions and install a fresh OS?

I'm in dire need on a public computer. I hooked up my system with all brand new gear as follows: E8400 P5Q-D Corsair 4gb DDR2 Dominators 8800GTS (G92) Xonar D2X and I then plugged in my Raptor 150GB that has XP (32-bit) from my old system in SATA1(top red one). The system loads the...

I'd recommend a V2400W. I'm actually expecting mine within the hour. @ $409 (before s/h) it's a STEAL. Image is more important to me than the "actual image" as odd as that sounds. Very few will be able to tell the difference btwn the WD vs. the V series's performance but I'm sure you'd get the...

I'm thinking the last week of July will be a soft release to put pressure on nVidia who will in turn lower the GTX280 to $550 (assuming it's ~= to the 4870X2 & has the benefit of being a single GPU) to the 4870X2's $500 tag. Then it will take 2 weeks for the X2 to actually hit shelves. Just a...

Well it bit the dust a month ago and I replaced it with the only AGP 8x card I could find locally (7600GS). Currently I'm running an FX53 (cost over $800 back in June 04') with an A8V-D, Corsair 2GB 2-2-2-5 DDR400s, in a Silverstone tower. My other system (build a few month afterwards)...

ITT we post pics of our P5Q's. NewEgg delivered a day early AND my 8am class got canceled today! What a pro day. Anyways, without further ado, the first shipment of my new build since my 6800 Ultra. Group shot P5Q-D pr0n My $150 (Olive you NewEgg!) 8800GTS (G92) vs. the late $600...

slide doesn't look 3d to me, but then again i need sleep too. Anyways, the 4870 looks great! If it beats the GTX260 then I can't wait to see it crossfired, but more importantly the X2!11!1

Ya I'm going with an X2 or a GTX280 when it drops to $500 in august. Apparently the p45 blows at crossfire with the top cards and I need the bottom Pci-e for my Xonar D2X anyways. I think the p45 will OC better than the X48 b/c it's cooler so I'm fine with that as I don't play too many games.

I think I'm just going to get a 4780X2 and not deal with crossfire at all. I'm not sure I've very torn right now. On one hand I like the "newness" of the p45 and that it's ultra cool, but on the other I want to at least have the chance of running crossfire. BUT I ordered a Xonar D2X and it looks...

I love how this was posted like 2 hours after i order. So with newegg I can just return and pay 15% restocking?

this is killing me. money is no issue and i got a p45, going to get a DFI X48 right after i sell off my POS p45

anyone?

Does the D2X fit or will it hit the ram. I'm lost as to these slots as I'm only used to AGP and regular PCI. All of these new slots and dual video cards are pissing me off. If I can't fit crossfire without bandwidth bottlenecking with my D2X I'll crack this damn board if half.

So is the tweaktown article the only one that's saying the P45s blow for crossfire? Otherwise I made a horrid decision after months of research.

Ok i've heard so many different things now. I really hope I didn't spend $200 on a P5Q-D just so I get bottlenecked in Crossfire withe 2 HD4780s or X2s.

I got a P5Q-D on its way from the egg. I want to push my E8400 to 4ghz on air.

Not to sound like a tool, but you are lost and need to research up a bit. SLI = Nvidia chipset (so think 790i), while Crossfire = Intel chipsets. I'm getting a P5Q-D (ordering in a second off egg).

I think I'm ordering the p45.

I've been hearing Q3 (which is nearing its end), but other than that nothing else. Does anyone else have any insight or links to confirmed reports. Bottom line should I continue to wait (as it drop the price of the E8500 to that of the E8400) or do I just suck it up and lose a multiplier.

Ok money really isn't the issue, but they are the same price (+/- $10). I understand that the P45 is 45nm or w/e and should OC better. Also the P5Q has 16 phase PWM vs. 4 of the DFI. Finally, I know that the x48 has 16x x2 band for Crossfire. I may end up going Crossfire so that's a nice option...

I'm getting an 8800gts anyways. But instead of putting it in my 4400+ now, I'm going to rock it in my e8500 and p5q and have leave the 4400+ and its broke 6800GT for now. THEN see what they got in terms of the GTX 280 vs. 4780X2 or w/e. It makes perfect sense, I'm just basically talking to...

Alright, I know there's all this fuss a/b the GTX 280 not beating the GX2 by enough, especially for $600 and there's already a $50 rebate for the PNY version dropping it down to $600. So tell me what you think of my plan. I have an old computer I built with a S939 4400+ and a 6800GT that's...

First off I agree that I'm not impressed by Crysis. Not in a graphics sense, but the fact that if I spend $650 on a card I can't run it perfectly yet. AoC on the other hand, which I plan, does impress me as I have something to look forward to. I'm currently rocking a 7600Go on my Falcon NW...

I think I'm going a TX750 for my GTX 280 as it's cheaper and has more power (just not modular).

I'm pushing for the DFI P45-TR2S with DDR2. I love the look and the tech seems there. If not it's the P5Q-D for me.

Alright, after going to best buy and actually looking at the T220 (the 22" monitor I was considering) I've made my decision based on the following conclusions. 1) I am still at a loss that viewing angle is such an issue to some. My head never moves more than a foot off center @ ~2.5 feet away...

Ok, this is going to sound really dumb as I'm somewhat of an LCD nubtron. I know about all of the panel types and their pros and cons etc; however, aspect ratios and hd gaming confuse me. 1) I understand that at 1920x1200 your graphics card will be stressed at high level games (Crysis)...

Well I'd hold your words on them not carrying them in stores, ALL stores that is. I worked at my local best buy and we've always had TOP of the line gear as the surrounding neighborhoods are very, errr, rich. I remember when we actually had the 6800 Ultra and X800XT in stores within weeks of the...

LOL the XFX has a 2mhz overclock at 602mhz, don't go overboard now haha. Anyways, on a serious note, I'm excited that this might not be a paper launch.

1) If you like a lot of room in your case, the Cooler Master cases mentioned above give you more room than the P180 series. I'd be more impressed by another silverstone temjin case than any Antec P1 series case. ---> To me it's about styling. I bought a Falcon NW laptop for $4k a bit back...

1) In response to case changes, I am dead set on the P182SE unless the P183SE comes out in a week. I'm more for style and simplicity--it needs to look classy and turn heads. For instance I had so many people gawk my Silverstone TJ03 due to it's sheer size. I plan to mod it a bit to increase...

I will look into the TX750 as the lack of mod cabling doesn't bother me and I can wire cables nicely; however, in response to the ability to upgrade to SLI/X-fire I'm still on the fence about remotely caring a/b this. I'll have to wait and see on the 17th which company pulled ahead this time...
