For future comparison or if you want to compare different sized screens try using the utility at displaywars.com
Here are the results after plugging in the screen sizes and using the drop down menu for aspect ratio:
17" 5:4 vs. 22" 16:9
These results are assuming both monitors are LCD...
I tried my LGA 771 to 775 modded Intel Xeon X5460 (equivalent to a Core 2 Quad QX9750 Yorkfield). The results were a little better than I was expecting but not by much. I threw in a few CPU-Z benchmarks at the end. Modern CPUs are about twice as fast in single threaded performance.
Intel Xeon...
I have another result, this time with a stock 8700k with default DDR4-2133 speed and timings and again with XMP DDR4-3600 speed and timings. Got a performance boost of about 9%. I only changed it by applying XMP settings on my Asus ROG Strix Z370-I.
I'm not sure if it changed any CPU settings...
I would like to enter for every prize package. Every package contains parts that are far better/faster than what I am currently using (Core 2 from 2007). If I win a mobo/cpu combo I plan on passing my computer to my parents who are still using a Pentium 4 2.2GHz.
Either video card would be a...
I'm new to SSDs. I've never used one before and am quite excited to try one out finally.
I just received a used 80GB Intel SSD 320 Series from an eBay auction. Seller said it was tested good, however I think there's a problem with it. I have it installed into a Lenovo X200 Thinkpad. In BIOS...
I'm fixing up a Lenovo X200 notebook and want to install a 2.5" SSD. I'll be limited by the SATA 2 interface and I'm not really concerned about speed. I want to use an SSD so I don't need to worry about mechanical failure of moving parts in a spindle drive when I have the notebook bouncing...
Just to note, IBM Thinkpads are picky about what mini PCI cards are installed. They are locked so that they can only use IBM approved mini PCI cards. It's a bit more advanced, but you can get around this by using a hacked BIOS.
I'm not sure how current the following link is, but it details...
Looking for a male 25-pin (RS232 DB25) serial cable to 9-pin (DB9) female cable or any related adapters. A regular 9-pin serial cable would be handy too. Thanks!
I still use WinAmp 2.8 for my mp3's. I use an old Packard Bell serial remote control to control volume, tracks, etc.
I use WinLirc so that my computer can recognize and map the buttons on the remote. Then I have WinAmp use the gen_ir plugin (found on the WinLirc page, search for WinAmp) to...
I remember trying a demo of it on a P233 w/32MB RAM with a crappy S3 ViRGE something and it brought the machine to its knees. From what I remember of the game, the developers were trying to implement too many revolutionary ideas at once. The AI for the dinosaurs were supposed to have moods so...
Actually, most of the non-water mass of a plant comes from its intake of air (mostly carbon dioxide and oxygen). Roots take up water and trace minerals and nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. This is why plants don't create massive depressions in the soil ;)

Thank you to rcpratt for the beta key. I started playing yesterday and am having a blast!
I've played about a dozen games since yesterday as Terran. So far it feels different than brood war. The units don't feel as responsive and familiar units from before don't behave quite the same...
I have a game for you although it isn't split screen. Instead co-op uses the same screen (players are confined within the same screen kinda Contra style) in Shadowgrounds Survivor. It's a top-down perspective game with Diablo mechanics in a sci-fi setting with guns and aliens. The gameplay is...
Hello, I have a GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3R and two different pairs of Ballistix.
My first pair are BL12864AA804.16FD3. They do not have any labels indicated voltage spec.
My second new pair are BL12864AA80A.8FE5. They have labels that indicate they are 2.0V.
I don't think my...
After I play any full screen game (2d or 3d game), my thumbnails only have little icons instead of a complete picture. If I click on the icons the pictures are refreshed. Still annoying though.

Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks for the replies everyone. The Accelero S2 I'm using was taken from another card. I no longer have the ramsinks for it. The original cooler also contacts the voltage regulation modules. I looked around and found some nice custom heatspreaders by iandh at Petra's Tech Shop...
I have an Arctic Cooler Accelero S2 that I'm mounting on my PNY 8800GT. The original cooler makes contact with the RAM, do I need to put ramsinks on my card? Thanks!
I got back from the Fremont, CA Fry's about an hour ago.
They are out of the Toshiba $379.99 laptops.
There were still around 10 or so PNY 8800GT's on the shelves.
All of the Fujitsu laptop drives for $49.99 were open box/returns.
There were plenty of copies of The Orange Box and...
As far as I know that is correct. All the buffered/registered memory I have dealt with has had a (slightly) different pin layout than non-buffered/non-registered memory. A notch would be off in a slightly different position.
Total Annihilation
Warcraft II
Alpha Centauri
Civilization 2
Grim Fandango
Full Throttle
Blade Runner
Fire Fight
Sim City, Sim City 2000
There are plenty more, these are just off the top of my head.
I have the same motherboard, but I'm running a Pentium 4 1.6a on it.
My main rig is very quiet, I'm using a Seasonic PS (uses a 120mm fan, extremely quiet - can only hear it if I put my ear up to it), an Alpha HSF with a nearly silent Panaflo fan for the CPU, and on my Radeon 9700 Pro I have a...
Thanks for the input. I just did some searching and I found a promising candidate, the Seagate Momentus:

After carefully dissecting my out of warranty Sony Vaio XG-29 notebook, I have found the source of its high pitched whine. Its 20GB IBM Travelstar hard drive is a noisy beast that I want to replace.
I'm aiming for a hard drive that's as close to silent as possible. It must be able to fit the...
It depends on the computer.
My most commonly used computer has 3 fans (2 in PS, 1 on CPU HS, big fat Zalman on Radeon 9700Pro)
My 2nd most used computer has 4 fans (2 in PS, 1 for each P3, and 1 for vid card)
My fileserver has 0 fans (uses AC adapter brick for PS for a mini-itx system with...
I'd keep the AMD. It has a much better storage subsystem and has extra geek points for being a duallie ;)
It doesn't sound like you game all too often since you primarily use the laptop. The dual AMD can still play a good deal of games without many performance issues with the added bonus of...
Hello, I have an HP Laserjet 1200 printer that's not working properly. Everything it prints comes out very light. I recently purchased a new HP brand toner cartridge and installed it and still have the very same problem.
I went to HP's site and went through all the basic FAQ and support...
Good day fellow AnandTechers!
My uncle has an old laptop running Windows 98SE with all the updates and Internet Explorer 6.
He had something called 20/20 Search toolbar installed on his computer which I had him remove through the Control Panel. I also had him run Ad-Aware with the latest...
Good day fellow AnandTecher's!
I have a Windows 2000 Professional computer that needs schedule management for each user. I want to limit the ammount of time each user can stay logged on. Preferably, I would like to have time slots for each user so that the computer is only accessible to a...
Long time lurker on this forum, I've been with SETI for quite awhile, but I'm interested in venturing into other distributed computing projects.
I have a P3-S 1.13A I can use for this cause. :)
I'll look up some info about this project, but would appreciate any pointers.
Some ideas
I use Packard Bell FastMedia Remote using Girder with the help of this guide.
I think the guide is out of date for the newest version of Girder. I use Girder v3025.
Good luck.
