tv tuners with no display lag

Sorry for not being clear enough. I will check the console forums as I did not realize they existed. Getting a new monitor is a little more than I want to spend right now. I am putting the card into my current computer which is getting turned into an htpc sometime this summer. It has an...

tv tuners with no display lag

I am looking for a tv tuner to play console video games on. I live in a dorm small enough that there is no room for my computer setup and a tv. I am looking for an internal card with hardware decoding. I am going to avoid hd tuners unless the price is under $100. I am concerned that many...

LCD makes me dizzy?

In response to the original poster, the lcd slightly delays what happens on the screen. Your brain expects it to happen immediatly. Because the frame of reference is not syncing up with what your brain thinks should be happening, you get seasick. It takes a few weeks to get used to the delay...

upgrade vs new build

Considering that I also have to buy a motherboard, is that system $200 better than what was previously mentioned (assuming 100 for memory, 100 for motherboard)? Will the overclocked e2160 beat my opteron 144 at 2.5 ghz in game performance (specifically looking at source engine games)? Can I...

upgrade vs new build

Thanks for the replies. I play valve/source engine games almost exclusively. I know the source engine is fairly processor intensive due to physics and I am also interested in the episode 2 multicore support. If you ignore the slight clockspeed bump, is it worth going to dual core right now?

upgrade vs new build

My current system is an opteron 144 at 2.4 ghz, 2 gigs of ram and a geforce 6600gt. My monitor setup includes a 21" trinitron running at 1024x768x120 and a 20" widescreen lcd at 1680x1050. I recently got the lcd and my framerates with the dual screens are too low for multiplayer games. I...

new monitor suggests, lcd vs trinitron

I recently got back to school and the 70 hertz is really bothering me. I still am unsure about which type of monitor to buy. Thinking about lcds, I am concerned mostly about texture blurring during fast movement and paying 150 dollars more than a trinitron. I am also looking for more...

new monitor suggests, lcd vs trinitron

I am looking for a new monitor, and I am planning on buying one just after Christmas. I currently go to school far enough away from home that I cannot take a monitor back and forth to school. At home I use a 21 inch dell trinitron. For the current semester of school (just ending), I have...

Looking for info on the Happy Hacking Keyboard

Thanks for the replies so far. In response to zepper, I don't understand your suggestion. What is the point in me buying a featureless membrane switch keyboard over a featureless buckling spring ( http://pckeyboards.stores.yahoo.net/keyboards.html ) or a membrane keyboard with interesting...

Looking for info on the Happy Hacking Keyboard

I currently use a datadesk smartboard. I am considering a new keyboard. I originally got it because of some minor RSI problems. They started cropping up again recently. I had a stroke of genius and fixed them by rebinding caps lock to control (emacs pinky ftl). I bought a laptop about 2...

Gliding mousepad?

Here is a serious response If you want the smoothest glide, the icemat or rough plastic pads are best. Icemat is generally consider the most frictionless pad and the steelpad 5L is also very good. However, they are also very expensive. If you are looking at price, consider any of the func...

Razer Diamondback problem

The reason you could use the right side buttons to scroll up and down with the drivers is because windows does not support 7 buttons. Razer just made the side buttons emulate the mouse wheel. I think you can bind to mouse wheel in drivers. However, with the diamondback, I would strongly...

Mice:MX518 vs G5

Do not get the g5 if you are a low sens fps person. It tracks significantly higher off the mousepad than an led mouse. This makes it much harder to reset the mouse while playing. Note that the g5 only has a single side button The g5 has marginally more dpi than the 518 (2000 vs 1600)...

Looking for an ergonomic keyboard

This is my response after a few weeks of using the keyboard. The keys feel great. It is one of the top 2 or 3 keyboards I have used in this regard. Except for the noise issue, I have no idea why anyone would volunatrily type on a rubber dome keyboard. It has taken me about 2 weeks to get...

Gamer needs new monitor

If you are a casual gamer, don't worry about monitor's too much. If you compare a decent 19" crt ($200) with a decent lcd ($400), the performance will be similar. You will pay more for the lcd but it is much smaller/ergonomic/etc. Decide if the feature set of the lcd is good enough that you...
