Anybody Know what DPI the new Logitech Optical Mice are rated at?

Yeah, the new ms opticals run at 2000 dpi. The old ms opticals were at 1500dpi, hence the 33% increase.

Toshiba 12x or 16x DVD drive?

You can image the files to your hard drive first, then burn. Actually, unless you are copying an entire cd, I found it preferable this way because you can copy all the .wavs at once, i.e., the cd burner does not have to turn on and off the laser, which can cause a noticeably gap of around two...

mouse: dpi vs. refresh rates

Could anyone explain to me the difference between these two measurements and how to reconcile one to the other. For example, the msoft optical mice scan at 1500dpi and the boomslang 2000 at 2000dpi. On the other hand, ps2rate allows for refresh rates up to 200mhz. How do I compare these...

Wanta put a ASUS CUSL2 in my old Dell XPS D300, I got Q's

Bottom line (most likely) is that you will need to buy a new case (with power supply) for your new mobo. When I was planning on upgrading a Dell XPS T500, I found out that Dell uses modified oem motherboard with proprietary power supply connectors and case connectors. Although it is a...

asus cusl2-low mem scores

ack! Ignore my prior message--I have to learn to read. Anyway, I reported my memory scores under Sandra 99, not Sandra 2000. For whatever reason (and if anyone could explain the difference I would appreciate it) my scores are significantly better. :) Memory scores: 379/430 (roughly) at...

asus cusl2-low mem scores

I'm getting around 345 and 340 for my scores--that's at 133 FSB, 2-2-2 for Ram timing (I'm pretty sure). It seems a little slow. I'll mess around with the settings when I get home tonight.
