For a similar concept, check out Car2Go. It's only implemented in two cities, (I'm in one of them), but its an interesting idea. With Car2Go, they've taken this concept even further: rent small, efficient cars by the minute! I have no idea how well the program is going overall, but there's...

I go by middle name, Evan!

I had my last desktop stolen, would like to build a new one but I don't have the money. This would help greatly

I will puss out.

Forgot to add: Thanks so much [H]ardOCP for letting me know about this!

Wow... I'd like to give some scope for how much this problem has affected me. I bought a Dell Latitude D820 during the time period (March 2007) with an NVIDIA Quadro GPU, and it completely went out on me this summer, only 3-4 months out of my warranty period. The display wouldn't turn on...

I think everyone's missing the point. It seems to me this would be a lot more useful as a training tool for real people to practice drills and such. There's far easier methods to pull a pin on a grenade than designing an entire autonomous arm and hand! The machines we really have to worry about...

basementjack: thanks for the response. I was able to show very minor improvements today: the first vista install screen now comes up in a couple of seconds or so. Yet nothing else has changed. I'm able to browse my HDDs if I do repair>load drivers. SO that's working properly, at least...

Yes, but I tried running Vista Install without any HDDs attached and I got the exact same behavior. If the problem is HDD related then, it would be at the chipset level rather than the HDD level. Maybe loading drivers for everything at the point when it asks if you want to repair or install...

I'm having a lot of the same problems as basement jack, ie vista (Ult, 64 bit) is taking way too long to bring up the first three or so setup pages, and refuses to go further than the "Enter your product key" page. I've tried reducing my HDDs (from two) down to one, i've tried AHCI mode, IDE...

wait.....wouldn't it appear backwards when you try to apply it? :confused:

this is cool

by definition, a tv must have some sort of tuner in it, as well, while monitors usually have none.

Im in, Im a new comer. will register and post later.

Thanks for the results, but could you try it again with the CRT set to 60 HZ as well? Not having them at the same refresh rate complicates the issue and inflates the true amount of lag.

I think he means physically setting it up. It's pretty big and you need to sit a bit further back than you would with a monitor.

While your original monitor might have been bad or something, I don't think that was the cause of your problem with divx movies. Divx, like almost all codecs, works by putting things into squares. Your CRT was probably old and was blending all the blacks and dark grays together (I know mine...

Still not answered: is this part of HDCP, and only activated when watching protected content, or it constantly like this?

I think the bigger misunderstanding is that people actually think this guy knows what he's talking about. This is an op-ed piece with the BAREST of factual info. The only thing he's talking about is HDCP. The guy doesn't really know what he's talking about.

wtf? why is this getting attention? The guy doesn't know what he's talking about, and I'm sure the only quote in there was taken out of context. There's no way he could be talking about anything other than HDCP, which we've known about for, oh say TWO YEARS already! Why don't you people ever...

That's a funny coincedence, my dad 's company is right now being contracted by ITT to make power supply testers for the PSUs used in these goggles. He says that everything in the goggles is highly specialized, and ITT is the only ones that know how to make certain parts of it. Apparently...

Welcome to the internets.

I use WUXGA (1920 x 1200 ) on my 15.4 inch, and its fine. I'm young though, and my near vision is good.

*Reposted from elsewhere for twice the commenting goodness.* This laptop will be used for college, specifically Computer Eng., so I might be doing some modelling programs. It will also be used for music, video, and WoW, if the performance is there. If anyone has tried playing WoW with the...

That WOULD work...that is, if eVGA actually allowed the market to determine its prices in the upgrade program. Instead, they stick with the MSRP of the product from when it launched, generally throughout the entire lifetime of the product.

60Hz is generally the max for LCDs. However, they work completely differently than CRTs. They don't flicker at all (except for backlight PWM, which isn't related to refresh rate), and so refresh rate doesn't really matter. However, you will be limited to 60 fps. I highly doubt that your...

No, IQ is the same... unless you throw HDCP into the mix, which WILL happen if you want to watch blu-ray or hd-dvd. HDMI = DVI + Sound data + HDCP

I use ATI Tool artifact scanning, but the even on the most conservative setting, it doesn't catch the minor artifacts, so you have to find them yourself. Not that big of a deal, as I'm not aware of any other GPU stress test program that will even try to find artifacts.

They'll pwn your wallet at least, that's for sure.

Minor nitpick on an otherwise perfect post about HDCP and ICT: The content is actually downsized to 960x540 (1/4 of 1080p), presumably to facillitate easier upscaling, I would guess. So, it's still better than SD ( 720 x 480 or 640 x 480 ).

If its a crt, then its likely dead. If its an lcd, its a problem with the backlight, which might be fixable if its out of warranty. Contact the manufacturer if possible. Also, a brand/model might help a little, so post that.

It's still there, just less noticeable in certain engines. Like aliasing. I can only speculate as to why, which I might do later, but I'm busy right now :)

I dont think thats going to be clear enough for you: It wont work at all.

One stick's okay, that way I can put in another 1 GB stick later. Memory performance is largely irrelevant unless you're cpu limited, which means you're already at a high enough fps anyways.. RE LCD: I'm just worried that if I go too cheap, the resolution increase will be weighed down by...

Bump for any possible last minute suggestions. They will be ordering this tonight. Cheaper build Costlier Build Also, I will suggest to them spending a little extra cash on the cheaper build to get a 7600GT with it, as opposed to the x800 GTO. That would probably the best upgrade...

Thanks, I've taken all your suggestions into consideration. I'm not the one paying for it, just building it, so I narrowed it down into the following two, which I'll present to my friend's family. Since I haven't gotten any sort of price ceiling ("As cheap as possible" wtf does that mean? You...

Hey, haven't you heard you're supposed to design these things NOT to last? How do you expect to keep selling them? Jeez... ;)

Okay, the person exclusively plays WoW and no other games. He has never even expressed an interest in other computer games. He might watch a video on youtube or type an english paper from time to time. Other than that? Only WoW. Currently, I have the following priced out. I would like to...
