e6600 OC @ 3.0Ghz, 2 x 1GB DDR2 1000 5-5-5-15 Relative speed: 9.00 Kilo Nodes/sec: 4320 Gee, I guess more cores trumps everything on this test. A bit more explanation on the RAM speed: I bought DDR2 1000 RAM, but the BIOS says it runs at 800, because I set it the way I have due to this...

That ASUS had a true 120Hz monitor has been in the rumor mill awhile, but until that picture was released, I don't think anyone knew that the ASUS VG242H was going to be a 23.6" TN. The main thing I want to post here, though, is the news that the HP LP2475w may now be a lottery panel...

The Viewsonic VX2435wm is out of stock at newegg, but is still available at www.pcconnection.com for $566 after a $100 rebate. I'd heard a few weeks back that it went out of stock at Circuit City because it had been discontinued. xtnight, there's always a lot of concern about the connection...

Both of the monitors came from newegg, and on NEC's boxes they are labeled as Rev. 1C, but I don't know if that means anything. They look great and perfect to my inexperienced eye, and I am very happy with my purchases. My wife sat down in front of one of them and immediately disliked the...

I have ordered the two 20WMGX2 monitors for myself. I'm holding off on buying the wife's monitor because, first, I can't take advantage of the rebate on a third monitor so I'll probably wait until after Nov 3 to see if a new rebate takes effect, and second, I'm still considering whether another...

I did some more searching around, and found the Spyder2Express here. Newegg doesn't make it easy to find calibrators on their site (this one is dumped into Apple Accessories). This calibrator interests me because it's only $60 and is supposed to work on both Windows and Mac. I notice in the...

Doesn't help. I usually have my face about 3 feet from the 22.5" viewable monitor; moving my face back to 4 feet away from the monitor, I still lose two inches on either side of the monitor. I'm definitely going to go with the 20WMGX2 for both of my computers. I talked with the wife, and...

Thank you very much for such an informative thread! I'm going to be buying three LCD monitors, and I've been doing a lot of research and have some notion of what I want to do, but still have a few questions left. I have a genetic eye condition that has slowly wiped out most of my peripheral...
