    Could anyone recommend a 23-24inch screen for under $200?

    Primary use is just regular office work/browsing/the occasional video game, so nothing TOO color sensitive. Matte is preferred. I've been out of the loop for so long, so I just want to know what's out there. Thanks in advance...

    Could anyone kindly explain what I need to have for 3D?

    I have a GTX 460 and a Samsung UNEH406030 3DTV with accompanying glasses. I also have a AMD 6770m on my notebook. Do I need to purchase a 3d conversion software? What exactly do I need to get this setup to work? Thanks in advance.

    GTX 460 running at PCI-E 8x 1.1?

    My motherboard is the 790x-UD4P from Gigabyte (AM2+) and I believe it supports 2.0. I understand that since my other PCI-E slot is occupied by my sound card (space issues) it goes down to 8x, but why 1.1? It clearly says on the mobo itself that it is a 2.0 slot. Any ideas...

    Upgrade or wait..or upgrade...or just wait?

    My system has been aging and has been showing signs of doing so. At 1680x1050 the measly 320mb of vRAM on my 8800GTS and the weakness of my CPU makes me want to do some upgrades. On a AM2+ socket, I have a few options.. one is to upgrade my GPU to a Phenom II. Yeah, the Phenom II's aren't the...

    I'm running the system that is in my signature and I'm using JVC HA-RX700's. I bought a Xonar DX for $60 bucks from Newegg (Openbox deals ftw). Anyway, will there be a lot of difference with music/movies/games or did I spend a bit too much money needlessly?

    My current chip, the X2 5000+ B.E @ 3ghz runs at a fairly acceptable temperature, but I know the newer Phenom II's run much hotter. In my case, will my system be able to handle the heat outputted by the X3's unlocked to a quad core?
