    What is your dream game that doesn't exist?

    I'd like to see team based FPS incorporate more RTS elements. For example, a kind of mash-up of Battlefield 1942 and Company of Heroes. To bridge the gap between the number of players typically found on a Battlefield server and the number of units that you find in most RTS games, you would be...

    Experience/Recommendations on Printer Servers

    Thanks for the feedback, guys. I think that I'll start looking into the details more on what is available from HP in the way of an all-in-one machine with networking built-in. As I mentioned before, something like the HP Officejet 6310 looks like the sort of machine that would meet my needs...

    Experience/Recommendations on Printer Servers

    Thanks for that. It's helpful to know that a printer with a built in networking capability is a better choice than trying to patch things together with a print-server, networking device. How well do these printers (with network capability) handle sitting in stand-by mode for several days...

    Experience/Recommendations on Printer Servers

    I was wondering whether those network printer server devices work very well. This is for a home printer that isn't used everyday; so, hooking it up to a PC (to act as the printer server) hasn't been very satisfactory. I was thinking that a printer with built-in networking capabilities, such as...

    Help my pick some good 2.0 speakers for my friend.

    I'm not familiar with how the 2 speaker Klipsch sound, personally. I think the 2.1 Creative I-Trigue 3300 sound pretty good. They aren't the cheapest 2.1 speaker systems, but I think they sound better than those. I can't say how much better the more expensive systems might sound than these.

    Sennheiser HD-205 versus HD-212 Pro: Opinions wanted

    I was looking at both of these Sennheiser headphones as affordable but good quality headphones. I'm interested in a closed model, for good sound isolation. Does anyone have any information that would help me differentiate between these two Sennheiser models? They seem to be roughly equal in...

    ASRock 775Dual-VSTA

    I believe that you have to go back to older video cards that only worked with 1X and maybe 2X AGP slots to have a problem. They used 3.3v signaling. Any card that specifies 4x-8X AGP support will use the 1.5v signaling found on current motherboards.

    Yes, there is an option in the BIOS to select between dual and single channel memory configurations.

    ASRock 775Dual-VSTA

    I know that the manual says that DDR266 memory is supported, but I haven't checked to see how the motherboard handles the DDR memory bus speed dividers. So, I'm not sure if that memory speed is available with all frontside bus speeds or not. I assume that someone running DDR memory on this...

    ASRock 775Dual-VSTA

    FMA, thanks for the tips and your experience with overclocking this motherboard. I'm always open to trying some new settings to see if they might help. For me, setting the memory timing to Auto didn't seem to make an difference. Bumping the FSB up from 288 to 290 still resulted in a failure...

    ASRock 775Dual-VSTA

    I've had a bit more time to work with this motherboard, and I think that I'm pretty close to the best settings for what I'm running on this board, i.e., an E6600, 2x1GB Ballistix DDR-800, and a Leadtek 6800GT (AGP). I had slightly less than average luck overclocking the processor on this...

    ASRock 775Dual-VSTA

    I updated to it, today, as well. I had hoped that the changes to the Fan Control feature, which the BIOS update mentioned ("Fine tune CPU Quiet Fan function.'), would include a temperature range that included temperatures less than 45C for a target temperature, but it didn't. 45C seems a bit...

    ASRock 775Dual-VSTA

    Thanks for the tips. I agree with you. It looks like the extra latency introduced when running your DDR2 memory asynchronously on this motherboard, compared to the frontside bus, negates any potential benefit from the higher memory bus speed. With no higher memory-bus to frontside-bus ratios...

    ASRock 775Dual-VSTA

    I just picked up one of these motherboards, along with a Core 2 Duo E6600 and Ballistix 2X1GB kit of DDR2-800. The motherboard came with v1.70 BIOS installed and I found that I was getting many errors when I booted up into MemTest86+, using the default BIOS settings. I twiddled around with...

    Best game for $20

    I was looking for a break from the online FPS games (such as BF2), and picked up Silent Hunter III for something different. This is a slow paced single player game that does eventually get monotonous, but not before I felt like I had gotten my money's worth out of it. Unfortunately, it does...

    LG L1920PQ

    I don't know if it was the same monitor or not. The darkening of the screen from a viewing angle below head-on is pretty noticable with the L1920PQ. The only models listed on the BB website from LG are the L1952T, L1932TQ, and L1970HR. Of course what is available in a local store may be...

    Do vga RAM heatsinks really help?

    I would think that whether those ram heatsinks are helpful will depend a lot on how you go about attaching them. I'm not sure those that are attached with sticky-tape are all that helpful, but if you attach them (permanently) with something like arctic silver epoxy they might do much better...

    LG L1920PQ

    I appreciate the feedback on your experience with this monitor. It pretty well is in keeping with mine, which at least helps convince me that I wasn't somehow getting some oddball results. It sounds like perhaps your monitor show less what I would consider too much brightness. But, this may...

    LG L1920PQ

    Yeah, I did write a NewEgg review questioning what sort of panel this monitor comes with. I really don't know what it uses, since I'm not comfortable trying to open it up. It may be somesort of variation on the IPS panel that leaves it with characteristics more like those of a TN panel...

    LG L1920PQ

    I'd be interested in what you think of this LCD, when you get it. I certainly am not saying its a bad monitor; it just seems more like a good TN panel than a IPS panel. I've never heard of IPS panels having that tendency to darken as you look at them from below head-on, and I can't detect any...

    LG L1920PQ

    I contacted LG customer support with my question about what sort of panel might be used in this monitor. They informed me that it uses an LG-made IPS panel. I'm still unconvinced, because the viewing angles just don't look like what you'd expect from an IPS panel. I also visited the...

    LG L1920PQ

    I recently picked up an LG 1920PQ from NewEgg. The specifications at first had me thinking that this was going to be some sort of MVA or IPS panel, but now that I've had a chance to use it a bit, I'm almost certain that this is a TN panel LCD. To my eyes, it shows the tell-tale signs of a...

    ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 - Socket 939 with PCI-E and real AGP and Socket AM2 upgrade path

    I searched through this thread with the search function and didn't see mention of this, but I just bought my second one of these boards and the audio seems to be DOA. Skimming through the NewEgg "reviews" it looks like while this is not exactly a common problem, there are a few others who...

    Help picking card for Battlefield 2

    POLL ADDED: AEG and NVIDIA's "Viral"'outreach programme' targets Forums

    While the original post about these marketing techniques is interesting news, it also seems like some folks are just eager to get a tempest in a teapot going. I think that explains the quality of some the "discussions" on this forum as much as any theory about marketeers in our midst. Let's...

    19" LCD's: telling which have 6 bit and 8 bit panels

    The artifacts while watching movies on a monitor using overdrive circuitry that I refered to are the "sparkles" that occassionally are observed. Perhaps the vp930b will be free of these, based on the lab testing done by Tom's, but it would be nice if they actually watched a movie using it and...

    19" LCD's: telling which have 6 bit and 8 bit panels

    I'm not aware of any low response time IPS panels in the 19" range. The only 19" IPS panel I've seen is the LG L1930B, which is a 25ms response time panel. Keep in mind that 25ms IPS panel is equivalent to a somewhat lower response time TN panel, because the response times for an IPS panel...

    Damn stuttering in Battlefield 2

    I can't remember the details on this (and I don't have an X-Fi card), but I think there is an option in the control panel for the x-fi card, itself, that needs to be set to "games" instead of to "music". Hopefully, someone who has this card will know what I'm trying to recall here and set me...

    Got BF2 a couple of days ago...dont know what exactly is the problem

    At times the gamespy servers (that handle the accounts) can be very slow. The game will behave as is if it is locked up when waiting for the these servers to respond (you can't escape or alt-tab out). You might want to just let the game sit for 15 mins or so at that screen (connecting to...

    Problem with your connection & high ping BF2

    WTF - BF2 1.12 patch TOTALLY caught me off-guard

    My understanding is that the main purpose of this patch is to allow those with the exapnsion and those with the regular game to play on the same server together. Since we'll all be playing using this patch, once all the ranked servers get this update installed, it will affect all BF2 players...

    Damn stuttering in Battlefield 2

    Adding more RAM will help with the stuttering problem. The problem I ran into with wanting to upgrade my 3 DIMM slot nforce2 motherboard was that if I fill all three slots the motherboard will still be running in dual channel mode; so, I would need a third DIMM that would match my other two...

    I've run into one show-stopper technical problem, since getting the game around the time it came out. This was with a recent punkbuster update that caused my system to lock up, usually shortly after I had entered a map. A manual install of Punkbuster fixed this. Is the game free of all bugs...
