Am I the only one who like the old standard (4:3)?

There is our entire FOV, our visual acuity and processing power used as a function of the distance from the fovea, and what our brains process and integrate into an image. You do not process your entire FOV as an image, you can notice motion in your peripheral vision, but good luck trying to...

"Inevitable Bleak Outcome for nVidia's Cuda + Physx Strategy"

I hate to say this but, after reading this thread and watching it play out as it has, Scali's responses in a debate could be described as: "You can bring a man to information, but you can't make him think." I thought that these three posts, by Scali, from the same thread on Beyond3d, were...

Fried cards

I killed my X600XT, which is like a 9600XT only in PCIe form. I managed to do this even though I only had it overclocked infrequently, and only for benchmarking. Granted I was running the core at 635 MHz and the stock frequency is 500 MHz. This was on air mind you. One day the card just...

PCI Video cards.. (NOT PCI-E) Max Resolution?

Sadly, I wish none of what I had to say was true, but I am not talking out my behind: http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,1367918,00.asp Most of the info in this article is still pertinent, even though the aricle is two and a half years old, as these are the GPUs you are considering...

PCI Video cards.. (NOT PCI-E) Max Resolution?

I would not get any of the cards you mentioned. I would suggest an ATI FireMV 2200 PCI. The FireMV 2200 PCI is easy to find online, it could even run two 24" LCDs at 1920X1200 over DVI since the connector on the card fans out into two standard DVI ports by a cable. It is probably the only PCI...

minimum dvd watching requirements

Bah, I played DVDs back in 1999 on a dual Pentium Pro 200MHz system running Windows NT4. Granted the system had a DVD decoder card, but it looked great.

UPDATE: 2005 FPW with Ti4200 DVI

First off, try a new DVI cable and if that doesn't work the following may be your problems. Basically every Ti4200 is probably incompatable with that display. The problems you probably have are twofold. The first problem is that the native resolution of the Dell 2005FPW is 1680x1050 and...

Where can I get a very thin & light 8"-14" LCD monitor/tv [like a laptop screen].

I'm not so sure about the 7" monitor, it is actually 800x480 VGA and might be an even lower resolution than that. It will probably work for you though. Another option I can think of would be to buy a one of the rare 14" monitors. While cheap they generally only have VGA inputs and in some...

ATI Mobility X600 / X700

Keep in mind that the X700 has 8 pipes and a and the X600 is a 4 pipe part. Both probably could be using either a 128-bit path or a 64-bit path. There is probably no way to tell from the specs. Regardless of the data path width, the X700 is always going to be faster than than the X600. The...

ATI TV Wonder Elite will not post

Nah, it is just that motherboard, the TV wonder elite works fine on the other nForce4 motherboard I tried, an Asus AN8-SLI Deluxe.

ATI TV Wonder Elite will not post

I assume you mean your 16x PCIe LeadTek card. PCI-X slots are longer, run at 100MHz and have a data path of 64-bit. PCI-X slots are generally only found only on server motherboards. In any case your problem is probably not the TV Wonder Elite, it is probably your Gigabyte motherboard. When...

Ever sent anything back to ATI under warranty?

I have RMAed three cards to ATI before, and the only problem was that it took a few weeks to get the card back. I have owned twelve ATI cards over the years so having three go bad, while not good, isn't that bad either. Besides I am picky about my hardware and I sometimes go to great lengths...
