I'm looking to upgrade my ATI Radeon x1950 Pro (512 MB). I have a E8400 running @ 3.8Ghz and a Dell 2408WFP running at 1920 x 1200. Currently I don't play any games that are to graphics intensive. Mostly Team Fortress 2 and some Mass Effect 2 and Call of Duty WaW. I would like to be able to play...
Cool, thanks for the info.
Right now, I'm looking at getting the AVerMedia AVerTVHD Bravo. It's looks like a pretty straight forward Digital only tuner that should work under Windows 7.

What is currently the best sub $100 TV Tuner (or there abouts)? I'm looking at the Hauppauge HVR-1800, but the reviews on the picture quality are not stellar. I will be using the card under Windows 7 and primary will be watching over the air HD. Not interested in recording, so a hardware encoder...
I recommended getting the Dell 2408WFP through the following seller on EBay. I did, and had no problems at all. The box was unopened, and it is a revA02. Plus I have confirmed the 5 year warranty it comes with. Just be sure to ask him to send you the warranty information...
In regards to the Samsung 2493HM not having 1:1 scaling. Does this only effect things that outputing 16:9, i.e. gaming consoles? Or will this being cause other problems? I will probably only have the monitor attached to my computer for gaming and movie watching, and presumably my video card can...
I believe it also depends some what on how well your hard drive(s) handle NCQ. http://www.storagereview.com/ often compare a drive with and without the feature enabled.
Your best bet is GBPVR. I have the 550 Pro card from ATI also and it's what I use. It supports dual-monitors (it can be set to even start on the secondary monitor) and is free.

I went ahead and ordered the 5500s while the price was low, $210 + $33 shipping is a great price.
Will my onboard Creative 24bit Sound Blaster Live be alright for now?
The thing that is worrying me about the 5500s right now is will I be able to turn them down enough so it doesn't irritate my neighbors? I live in an apartment with pretty thin walls.

I'm in the market for a set of 5.1 speakers and I am debating between the G500's or the Z-5500s. Newegg has the 5500's for $219 right now ($50 off) so they are priced the same as the G500s, but I doubt the savings will last for much longer.
I won't have these in a large room right now, but a...
The Hitachi is 160 and I'll either get the 200 or 250 Maxtor. I'm not really worried about size though, 160 is plenty.
My main concern really is if SATAII is worth it or not. Most of the figures I've seen show NCQ either not helping or hindering performance. And from what I understand all the...
I'm looking to purchase a SATA drive. I think I've narrowed it down to either the Hitachi Deskstar T7K250 or the Maxtor DiamondMax 10. The Deskstar is SATAII and includes NCQ where as the DiamondMax is SATA150 but has a 16MB cache. Would I see more performance if I went with the SATAII or with...
So in the nForce4 SLI Roundup: Painful and Rewarding review Wolfenstein and UT2004 saw no gain at all and Quake 3 only a slight gain. If all games can take advantage of SLI and two video cards by making a profile or using one supplied by NVidia why did these 3 games not seem effected? Did the...
But when you say "SLI Supported Games" does that mean just a profile from NVidia or does there have to be code written within the game itself to take advantage of SLI?
In nForce4 SLI Roundup: Painful and Rewarding it states the following;
But I've been told on Neowin that all you need is a NVidia profile file for the game to work under SLI. So did the people who wrote up this review not use the profiles with games like UT? And if I did use the profile can...
