well Dell sent me an email stating it should ship the 17th (my original ship date was today the 10th).
Went to Bestbuy today to pickup the BFG 8800GT for $210 (after 12% coupon) their website stated they were in-stock when I arrived I was told the website is always slow as far as stock goes...
placed my order on 11/24 still shows a ship date of 12/10.
8800GT OC for $201.75, I think I can wait a little longer. If it does not ship on 12/10 then I will call dell and they will upgrade the shipping to next day (always have in the past for me).
I have the 24 inch SOYO (for $299 what a deal). I bought a 22 inch LG but the vertical off access viewing was very annoying to me If I raised or lowered my head by 2-3 inches the color change was dramatic (I am told this is normal for all 22 inchers).
RES is 1920x1200 for the 24 vs 1680x1050...
i had the same problem trying to download the mobile device software. It said Vista was not activated (but it was). the solution was to activate Vista over the phone, after i did that I was able to verify my version was genuine and then it let me download the software.
It was simple to do but...
newegg shows both the 1950XT 512MB/256MB Sapphire cards running 625/1800 and both use GDDR3. If you can spend the extra money get the 8800GTS I have one at it is great @ 1600x1200. Before I bought the 8800GTS I had a x1900XTX and the 8800GTS is much faster (I have the 640MB model from EVGA)
I think I will just wait (I can still use XP for now). I installed SP1 for VS2005Pro then downloaded the update for Vista but it is a beta designed for the beta/RC versions of Vista. It states not for use in production which is a no go for me. Kind of lame MS can not even get an official Service...
if your motherboard allows you to select the boot drive and it does not disable the non-selected drive then both drives will be available to either OS. you would just be dual booting with out using MS's bootloader (if this will even work). I currently dual boot between XP and Vista and just use...
anyone have any info on using Visual Studio 2005 with Vista? just installed it and it pops up a message saying compatibility problems with this version of windows (I am running vista ultimate NON BETA). you would think VS 2005 would work out of the box.

Ok so I left work early and ran a few tests with Oblivion. Vista is faster than XP when running Oblivion. I did a run through of a section of the game (outdoors) and on average Vista was 2-3fps faster. The only time XP was faster was when Oblivion was loading from the hard drive while walking...
i would like to know the answer to this as well. I have a sony bravia 46inch 1080P lcd connected to dish network HD box (vip622 i believe) via HDMI. the dish network box will do 1080i and 720p but does not offer 1080P output. what would be the best setting to use? 1080i or 720p? I do know that...
i have the x2 4400 and a 8800gts. it was a big improvement in Oblivion over my 7900gtx and my ati x1900xtx. 3dmark06 scores showed an improvement as well but not as much as ACTUAL GAMES did. I have a Dell 2001FP and game at 1600x1200 and Oblivion never drops below 30fps and that is MAX settings...
I am a MSDN subcriber and VISTA is not in BETA it is RTM. The version of Ultimate I have is the FINAL version. It is the exact version that will be available at retail outlets later this month. I also have a FULL version on they way (non MSDN should be here within 2 weeks). The IT staff at my...
ya after searching the web I came to the same conclusion that it is the sata/raid drivers.
i will try to update the drivers but I can not use the default microsoft drivers as i will loose my raid array. I uninstalled the drivers once before and was unable to load windows. I have v6.86...
ok, i did some more testing. if i load a saved game from within oblivion with vsync disabled and just let my character stand there it will run for at least 10 minutes (that is as long as i tested this for, i did not freeze up). If I move my char to a new area where you get the loading area...
I have tried drivers 93.71 and 93.81.
i sold my xtx because i did not have time to game anymore. I replaced it with a single 7600gts then just bought a second card last week just so i could try out sli.
my system has no problems with Call of Duty or 3DMark06 and it works fine with...
well i still have no idea what is going on with this. I re-installed both cards this time changing the cards around (card in slot 1 to slot 2) and have the same problem. I installed Call of Duty 2 and tested it with sli and vsync on and off and it works fine. 3dmark06 works also so I am not sure...
I just tested with both cards in single card mode (with only one card installed at a time) and oblivion works just fine with vsync disabled. I would think that if i had bad RAM the problem would happen with either 1 or 2 cards installed.
Gonna try SLI again but this time with the 2 cards...
unless my ram went bad in the last 2 days (which i know is possible but not likely) then a ram problem really does not make sense. why would enabling vsync cause a memory error with my system memory.
and yes when i ran prime95 last (2-3 months ago it ran for 12+ hours just fine). I think i...
yes it does that is why i would like to be able to disable vsync (without it locking-up) so my fps will increase over what i was getting with just one video card.
well i tried forcing vsync off in the nvidia control panel and leaving the vsync option checked in oblivion. it does not freeze anymore it just exits to the desktop after 3-5 minutes with a error message about a problem with oblivion.exe.
i then tried to uncheck the vsync option in oblivion...
I will try that right now. Bad thing is something is not right with this setup as I am sure this would be well documented if this was a known issue with Oblivion. It is odd that this worked just fine with one 7600GTS card and I add the second card and this starts happening.
thanks, the problem is the frame rate drops from 40-60FPS without vsync down to 20-40FPS (which the the same fps i get with one card) with vsync.
Also if I enable vsync then I am unable to see the SLI indicator, I wonder is it possible that enabling vsync is disabling SLI? (now that I think...
Please help,
I am having a really weird problem. Oblivion will lock-up (sometime it will reset the PC) if I turn vsync off when running SLI. If I turn vsync on via the Oblivion options screen it works just fine but when I uncheck vsync it always locks-up (Screen will freeze or sometimes it...
so the right wing nutjobs are grasping at straws (cant really blame them but i dont think this will help them much).
kinda funny the party of GWB making fun of someone who stuck his foot in his mouth. it was just a bad joke gone wrong.
nothing to see hear move along.
i have the same question on another thread. it looks like its the 7600gt vs. x850xt. I did own a 7600gt before and the only bummer about the card was the fan noise although I do have a zalman vf700 cooler laying around here somewhere.
my bad i removed the x1800gto as the price is to high.
ok, so i am selling my x1900xtx and need a hold over card until next year. I just dont game much (no time anymore). I would like to get a decent card so when i do get another top line card next year i will use this one to upgrade the wifes pc.
I am thinking about a 7600gt, would something...
