[Retired] The LCD Thread

I really liked the monitor & wish I could get the text a little sharper. I would ordinarily try to exchange one, but seeeing I had 2 units, one at work & one at home...2 different PC's, I didn't think I should bother. I notice you're running VISTA. Both PC's I used them with had XP. I wonder if...

[Retired] The LCD Thread

Please recommend me a 22" monitor that's good for office work...spreadsheets & text. I just returned 2 - DELL 2209WA's. They're great monitor's in all but one area - text. Text & numbers in spreadsheets were fuzzy & caused me eye strain. I've got a L226WTY-BF, at home & it's much better. I'd...

Home network setup -Wired & Wireless - is this possible???

This is very helpful. So if I understand correctly, a gigabit router, like the D-link I linked to above should do the trick. Is there a better alternative? Would a gigabit switch, plugged into my WRT54GS accomplish the same thing? Or does it have to be a router to have functionality that I...

Which PSU w/80mm fan for Chenbro SR107 ?

I purchased a Corsair HX620W & was planning on installing it in an Antec P180. I've since decided to use a Chenbro SR107 case instead. Problem is, it looks like the shelf that holds the PSU is solid & would not allow the 120mm bottom fan to breathe. So now I'm looking for a PSU with a...

Epox EP-MF570SLI Or DFI UltraII-M2 ?

Didn't want Intel. I think all the mobo options are either too expensive or flaky. Besides that, I'm not into benchmarks. The x2 4200+ is more processing power than I'll probably need anyway & it was cheaper than an e6300. I agree that DFI LanParty boards are good, but not necessarily the...

I've got all the componets ready...just not sure which of these 2 will be better in the long run. I suspect the Epox may have better components & be built a tad better than the UltraII. Not sure if the NF4 or NF5 is a better chip. PS: I don't need SLI. Parts waiting: 2x1gb Patriot...

Fastest Boot Drive - Non-Raptor

I just happen to have 2-400GB 7200.10's. Another poster on OCforums is recommending these drives as well. I thought that a smaller drive would make a better dedicated boot drive, but maybe I'm wrong. I might just end up using my 400's.

Fastest Boot Drive - Non-Raptor

Ok, but in comparing it to say, the Hitachi 7K160 80GB, do you think is worth paying 4 times as much??? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822145125 I realize it may spec out better, but I'd find it hard to believe that in real-world use, you'd really notice it.

I got it from Clubit.com. I notice it's now up to $229.99. Link I've decided to go Conroe, (which uses DDR2), so I'm going to refuse delivery of the OCZ. PM if your're interested. (I'll just add freight.)

The *Official* MSI K8NGM2-FID GeForce 6150 Motherboard Thread

1) Will OCZ Platnium DDR500 2x1GB play nice in this board? It seems like overkill, but with the rising prices & shrinking availablity of DDR, I bit on what seemed like a great price: $207 shipped! OCZ5002048EBPEK 2) Is it worth going for an X2 4400+ over an X2 3800+? Thanks!
