the 150s aren't SATAII either (it really doesn't make a difference), but they are an update relative to the 74. I doubt there will be any more Raptors. There just isn't a need for them. Newer high capacity drives with extremely large caches can almost match their performance and SSDs will...

It was on the "Hot Deals" last week, now it's 365 not on sale. It will drop shortly everywhere as it already has in some places. Not everyone's pricing schedule changes at exactly the same instant as the vendor posts their new volume pricing. If you need one right now and want the best deal...

Because Intel JUST lowered the price this week on volume shipments. Newegg has a larger inventory than just about anyone, so they keep their prices in place a little longer. It'll drop soon.

it's about the same as the 320 for 95, so yeah

LOL No, Tom's not nearly this normal

W00T! Stuart!! Thanks for posting the series Kyle. Strange as it seems, the Stuart columns are what made HardOCP a regular stop for me. I was and still am a hardware enthusiast, but those quirky stories are what made me visit the site. Here we are 6 years later and Kyle and HardOCP are a...

...but a 37" monitor is perfectly acceptable. right.

I tend to look at it the other way. This appears to be a product with a limited lifespan. With 4+ core processors visible on the roadmap, I think it would make since to simply write the app to take those cores into account. Sure, you can play the game with 1 or 2 cores, but if you have 4 or...

Count me in as well! Just brought her home from UPS. YE FLIPPIN GODS this thing is HUGE! The ole 20 seems kinda insignificant. Gads, what a monster!

The short answer is that it isn't exactly easy to do. Now, for a slightly longer answer, but not too long. multiple core CPUs are fairly easy to link together. You use some sort of connector (crossbar, etc) and some memory scheme (shared, split, and so on) and figure out how to package it...

Not to mention that the standard is still not ratified. Sure, it probably won't change much, but that's why you aren't seeing any cards. It's a sad state of affairs.

Yeah, same goes for the 170. It's a dual core with 1mb a side for 400. Hard to beat given its overclockability. Many people have reached 2.8 and above. When you consider that it's two cores, an onboard memory controller, and a meg cache per core, that's one hell of a cpu for $400.

Yes it's a good deal. Is it the best deal you can make? Probably not, but if you look around for a good coupon or the right combo, you can probably knock a little bit off of that. Dell is undergoing a kit reset right now, so now's a good time to find a good deal. As for performance, it IS...

That's what I've been saying as well. I'm anxious to see the 2407 to see if it suffers from the same lag as the 244t.

Bunch of people would disagree with that, including me. the spva process tends ot have more accurate colors and less banding. It's just the nature of the panel. If you look at how its made, it should have better color performance. The only issue is the "overdrive" that has now introduced...

are you speaking of input lag or response time lag? If input lag, then the results aren't 100% clear, but there is some evidence that SPVA panels (the 24") show more input lag than SIPS panels. If response time, then both the latest SPVA and SIPS panels are more than adequate for gaming...

suggestions of video output settings or mouse calibrations are, I'm sure, well intentioned but miss the point. He has a SIPS and SPVA panel sitting side by side on the same machine and one (SPVA) is exhibiting a delay versus the other (SIPS). In this case the larger panel is not showing any...

Not trying to be an ass, but there are probably 20 or more threads answering and discussing this question. Might want to search around. Many answers out there along with a ton of new questions.

Thus the need for a TEST. By coincidence, that's what this thread is asking for. I'm not saying you're right or wrong. Testing the 244t isn't accurate especially as the thread is about any of the new 07 models (some of which are SIPS). Either way, he's asking for tests. Do you have test...

I think he's asking for tests, not presumtions. The lag associated with SPVA panels isn't really a property of the panel (well, except for the response time, but that's not what we're talking about here). IF signal processing is being performed (overdrive), AND that signal processing is...

Yeah, let's reiterate that last sentence. We're trying to discuss input lag here, not lag due to response time. Yes, we all hate response lag, but it's a property of LCD panels, so there's nothing to be done. This new phenomenon of input lag, however, is disturbing. Are these new panel...

The problem is that the CRT won't be connected via DVI, so we won't be isolating that from the experiment. Even so, could you give us a subjective comparison. Perhaps you could, using the same PC, perform standard input tasks that require speed and accuracy (games for the most part) with both...

It is true that SPVA and PVA can cause some color inaccuracy, and yes, any amount of processing does cause a bit of lag, but I hesitate to pin it on the processors simply because they should (note the should) be able to process faster than the refresh of the monitor (ie response time). That is...

They're not talking about response time. They're talking about an input delay. I've been following this thread as well as others like it, and I'm very interested in what's going on. I have and use quite a few lcds at work and home, and have for some time. Frankly, I have never encountered...

system has nothing to do with ghosting. ghosting is a property of the panel. Frankly, unless the switch time is 0, there is always "ghosting." The question is, do you see it? Yes, the "16ms" panel has about a 20-25ms average response. That is well within the realm of acceptability for the...

agreed. Frankly, it would be worth a product update just to resolve the backlight issue. I'm guessing HDCP is a done deal. Even though it means virtually nothing in practical terms, there's no way they'd leave it out. The question is, what version of the spec is it? As HDCP isn't really...

Depends on what you want, really. You can get better performance and more flexibility out of a server. So, if you need lots o speed or need to run apps, then you need a server. If, on the other hand, you want low maintainance, easy setup, and a small footprint you need to go with NAS...

The largest problem with a 1080p set is one of speed, not inputs. DragonMasterAlex is somewhat correct in that the RPTV 1080p sets out there right now don't accept 1080p via a digital connection. Most do, however, have a standard analog input for computers. Is that the best way to connect...

you pay 25% taxes?

Used this one last time for my XPS2. Nearly $4500 lappy for less than $2900. Damn good deal.

Mine will be here tomorrow. w00t! The specs on mine are similar to yours. I have the 100GB 7200rpm drive. Wifi abg, bluetooth, 2 bats, basically loaded. I'll post stats and pics in a few days. Speaking of, I'm looking for a really nice case for this bad boy. I'd like to have an...

Strange, the page lists it as clocked like a PE and says Plat Ed all over it. Why do you think it's not a PE? Think it's a bait and switch?

Ended at 6AM CDT. Sorry.

Pulled the trigger with about 4 hours to spare. XPS2 2GHz with 1GB, 100GB 7200, 2bats, XPPro, etc. nearly $4500 notebook for less than 3 grand with tax. Freakin awesome deal.

They had a 750 on 1500 on the 600m on the 23rd of April, I believe. 50% off is hard to come by, but it'll come around again. There are usually a lot of restrictions on them. This 35% off is one of the best I've seen with so few restrictions.

You are exactly right. As can happen with any transistor with a constantly applied voltage, the individual pixels' controlling transistors can begin to malfunction over a period of time. The malfunction may appear as a "slow to respond" pixel or a pixel that appears stuck albiet usually only...

No, burn in is a problem inherent to CRTs. There is no technology that can overcome it. It is simply a permanent electrochemical change to the screen's phosphor coating caused by a static image being displayed for an extended period of time (hey, let's see you get charged to +25000V and get...

uh, doom3?
