At this price, I'd be tempted to buy one just as a toy. But the rt limitations bother me. to be honest the whole windows rt seems ill conceived. And a surface pro for me at least is too pricy for something I want just to play around with.

i could put this to good use.

there wasnt enough junk in space already?

wish i knew what to do. i have a pair of 6950 2gb cards i bought for crossfire, though im less pleased with them every new game due to drivers. and ive had almost every nvidia card ive owned go bad on me. only 3 nvidia cards ive bought still work. rest are dead.

hows the performance with crossfire/eyefinity?

i was tempted to be buying skyrim, but held off, and now from what ive been reading, im still on the fence as to buying it at all. i do crossfire and eyefinity, and its frustrating seeing games not working.

an interesting article. and to be honest im not surprised by what was said.

took almost 5 years but finally upgraded my old setup. new setup, 3, 23 inch LG e2381 monitors. so far, no dead/stuck pixels. they have a non glossy screen. the bezel is a fake brushed aluminum look. which is nicer than a gloss finish. the touch controls on the base are a bit odd but they do...

im jelous.

i actually use a small shop vac i got at home depot. i hook the hose up the the outlet, use the small corner tip, and turn it on. hepa filter in the vac itself keeps clean air blowing rather well. and it can also be used as a vaccum for my car. :D

i recently encountered a system not quite as bad as this. my brother contacted me telling me his computer wouldn't boot, and would crash once logged into windows. he brought it over for me to look at. after cleaning probably a whole cats worth of cat hair out of every fan, heat sink, and...

1. Which graphics chipset brand do you prefer: Nvidia, ATI, or would you use either one? i use either, whichever is the current best bang for my buck. i have no brand loyalty for videocards. 2. What is more important to you, price or performance? the sweet spot. i usually buy a step or...

my install of vista ultimate 64 bit predates service pack 1, and with the installation of service pack two, i got back 41 gigs fo free space.

its is a svchost.exe flagged as a network service, ive tried endign the prosses and loose my internet when i do. and my system is clean according to my latest anti virus/spyware/adware scans

ive tried every svchost memory leak fix i can find. and nothing yet has worked. ive seen the prosses at 1,400 megs before i rebooted, and watching the task manager ive seen the memory useage of svchost climb a meg every minute. xp pro sp2, everythigns upto date automatic update is disabled...

currently i have norton internet securitues 2006. but its getting close to the end of its subscription, and im wondering, what else is out there that i should look into for my firewall and anti-virus needs? whats are people suggesting these days?

LG 246wp its my upgrade from my ols samsung 213t. overall, i like it alot, however, it has a few small things that for me detract from it overall. i dislike how the osd buttons arnt on the front of the bezel, but under the bezel on the bottom edge. it looks good, but makes it more...

to be fair i was only able to test this with my 360, a wii may output differently than a 360 does. as all the resolution changes were done on the console in the display settings. wish i had a wii to try for you.....

ok, scaling. lets see what i can find. using compoent inputs, and my 360 ill be performing a "do round objects appear round at this resolution? test" using my trusty callibrated eyeballs to tell. ill also list the osd settings for the monitor, whats used, and whats avalible. 480i, 480i...

i bought this at futureshop in abbotsford. sticker was $750 cdn. and input lag? :confused:

glad i could help. been watching casino royale in between bouts of gears of war. wmp11 wont fullscreen a normal dvd. ill have to dig out a copy of powerdvd from ym stack of cds... but through the 360 and over component, looks very good.

well my 24 inch monitor only has video inputs. so my xbox is conected to the video in, the adio cables from the xbox are running into a cable i grabbed from my local futureshops av department, that takes two rca jacks(red/white audio) and just has a male 3.5mm audio jack on the end. my computer...

with the 360 the cable that i got with my premium version is a combo composite/component cable, with a switch on it. for regular tv mode, 480i. and hd, 480p, 720p and up. with the cable set to regular 480i the xbox could be set to a widescreen mode. but the image remained 4:3 on the display...

depending on the input, the monitor uses different options for displaying whats on screen, either source, 1:1, full, etc to define how it shows whats on screen. right after playing throught the same chckpoint in GoW.. 480i was somewhat pixelated. not tooo horrible, but not that great...

im sorry to say i dont have a wii, nor do any of my friends around here. neither my friends nor myself have had any luck obtaining one.... ill load up my 360 and see how the display deals wih 720p, and 480 settings. and get back to you on that. as for switching inputs, theres one button...

after humming and hawing over replacing my samsung 213t, i decided to take the widescreen plunge and pick up a new LG246WP. obligatory (blurry) [H]ard shot gears of war 1080i monitor looks very nice, and these pictures dont do it justice. gears of war was quite smooth and looked...

anyone else having vista massivly thrash their hard drive? every now and then for reasons i can seem to figure out, my hard drive just goes nuts. the vista performance monitor is showing hard drive activity at 100%. anyone know why? defrag? system scan form defender while idle? indexing things?

except for my sound, due to a lack of propor drivers, my vista rc1 64 bit is working just fine so far.

i installed rc1 64 bit the other night on a fresh hard drive, took about an hour ro so form start to finish for me. its been working just fine so far but there are minor issues im having with my onboard sound. m-audio havnt provided new rvolution 7.1 drivers in ages, and the revolutoon 7.1 dosnt...

only issue ive had yet with my setup is bsod'ing when running bit-torrent, and that seems compleatly at random too.... no issues with my 7900gt's. and though i dont use a soundblaster, my m-audio revolution is working fine. wonder if i should update the bios is 1205...

only issues i see these days is soem servers have log in queue's where others dont. and while these queue's used to be fairly long, 300+ people, and waiting upto 30 minutes at times. in recent months, if i do seea login queue is typicly less than 50 people, and im ingame in udner 5 minutes...

amd's eh/ lets see... an old K6-2 400, thats been running at 500mhz for years without fail an Athlon xp 1800+ Palomino A socket 754 Athlon 64 3000+ Clawhammer a Socket 939 Athlon 64 3000+ Venice and im just getting my new Athlon 64x2 4200+ manchester up and running

well, only major horror story was my parents old IBM aptiva tower(amd k62 475mhz, 10 gig hard drive, and 128 megs fo ram, windows 98 se). no agp slot. and of course integrated sis video. :D i managed to convince them that a new video card would be helpful for the systemm. but with no ago slot...

im looking at my next major overhal of my computer which i plan to do in the next 2 weeks, and im trying to nail down the compoennts i want to purchase. ive been looking at sli vs. crossfire and have decided on SLi, my main concern is buying too much video card, not enough cpu(though i do...

4:3, i have a samsung 213t, and 95% of my gaming is wow which i run happily at 1600x1200, other games, if i can window mode them, ill play at lower resolutions, this display dosnt scale down all that well...

well it can be. a reasonable box can play games well enough if your willing to sacrifice resolution, etc, but also whats expensive to some may not be to others. personally, i dont see $2000-$2500 as expensive for a computer. true ill save for it for a few months or, upgrade gradually for a...

main computer has an AGP radeon x800xl in it. while sooner or later ill go pci-express, a new video card was cheeper than a new mobo, cpu and videocard all in one go.

just a Samsung 213T but still. i love it. :D

if its true, and i fear it could be, this is absolute BS. the more i read about longhorn, the less i like. i spent $2k(cdn) on a samsung 213t about a half year ago. and i do NOT wanna have to buy a new monitor again for some time. this is just BS.

i told her it would be soldered, but she asked me to make sure. dad recently got a ncie soldering gun from his father... wonder if i should try it out. as i said a hp pavilion ze4115, any know where i could find some dissasembly instructions? im not having any luck getting this apart...
