Who's got the skinny on new Acer Aspire 1410/Gateway ec1803h

I'm looking for a "netbook/ultra-portable notebook" or whatever you 'd like to call it but for me, the 8/9/10" screens are too small and there are issues with small and awkward keyboards on some. I recently came across the Acer Aspire 1410; Intel Core 2 Solo Processor ULV SU3500 / 2GB RAM /...

new hard drive for Dell 4550

I have a 5 year old Dell 4550 running Windows XP-SP2 with a 2.0 GHz P4 and 1GB of RAM. I've only got 9GB of space left on my 40GB EIDE hard drive so I figure it's time to think about adding more storage. The drive is a WD400BB 7200 with 2mb cache. I use the system for business applications...

LCD Buyer's Guide

Hey XT, I noticed what appears to be a mixup on specs for the HP LP2065. In your LCD Buyer's Guide you list the LP2065 as an S-IPS panel, in the Prade review they have it listed as an S-PVA. Safe to assume that your info is correct? Prade HP LP2605 review

Video card with DVI output for new LCD monitor

I'm looking for a recomendation for an inexpensive, (dare I say cheep) 4x AGP video card with DVI-I output for a new HP LP2065 monitor. No games, an occasional movie, lots of image editing and page layout work. Any thoughts on this card from Newegg? HIS Hightech H925H128ER4AN Radeon 9250 128MB...

LCD Buyer's Guide

Hi rx, As I am about to buy the LP2065, I wonder if you've installed your new video card and how you would compare the analog/digital performance. By the way since I'll need to change my video card for one with a digital output I wonder which card you chose. I won't be doing any gaming but...

Thanks xt, I'm gonna try to find the HP locally otherwise I'll try online. I just saw an ad for Circuit City offering the LG L2047WT for $300.00. I've read a few good reviews but realize it's a 6 bit TN panel. Is it worth considering or not in the same league? I'm curious where you find the...
