I need (i.e. want) a larger LCD....

I have the 2407FPW and I'm more than happy with it. I don't notice any ghosting in games and I use my machine mainly for development, photo editing and a fair amount of reading. It works beautifully for me atleast. Regards, appu

Dell 3007WFP

By the way, I don't see what kind of a problem you could have tweaking your motherboard's BIOS if you run an Apple display. You're not running an Apple box. You're just using their display, which is like any other display in terms of how it connects to a PC. Regards, appu

Dell 3007WFP

Toolius, I think you should go ahead and call them. Even though they do not list the 3007 on their site, even the 2407 that is listed (and which I bought) had to imported from Malaysia. It's not like they have stock locally. (For the kind of money you'd have to pay for a 30", I'd get a couple...

Why are those in europe being screwed on LCD prices?

It's not just Europe and Latin America. I think any market other than the USA sees (and possibly Taiwan etc.) sees very high prices for most PC components. While CPUs aren't too bad here in India, everything else is much higher priced. I got my Dell 2407FPW a couple of weeks back. When I...

Best AGP Card for the Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP 24-inch Widescreen Flat Panel

I have a similar system and I figured I'll buy an AGP card as an interim upgrade as I don't have the cash to do a full upgrade right now. So I got myself a LeadTek 7800 GS and a beefier power supply (one of the CoolerMaster RealPower 450W models) and all is well. As others said, this card...

AGP battle: 6600GT vs. X800GTO vs. 6800XT, etc...

Hehe.. good one about the GeForce 3. I was trying to be mild :). Thanks for the tip on the power supply. As I said, this is just an interim upgrade so don't want to spend heavily. Hence the 6600GT - that'll do just fine for the games I play and the resolution (10x7) I run them at. Appu

AGP battle: 6600GT vs. X800GTO vs. 6800XT, etc...

Going slightly on a tangent here because I'm very seriously contemplating replacing my aging GeForce 3 with a 6600 GT as an interim upgrade. Does anyone know what rail should be used to power the external power connector on a 6600GT AGP? I would think it's the 3.3V rail, since that's the...

Video conferencing with a wireless link between the camera and the computer

6600GT (256MB RAM) vs. Radeon 9800 Pro (128MB RAM)

The Retail GeForce 6600GT Roundup article from November last year mentioned that a lot of these cards have HSF mounting problems due to various reasons, and that the LeadTek PX6600 GT TDH was one of the better ones when it came to the implementation of the cooling system. Can the same be said...

6600GT (256MB RAM) vs. Radeon 9800 Pro (128MB RAM)

Thanks darkswordsman! Newegg lists a few 6600GTs between 150 and 160 USD. They are all 128 MB equipped which is fine by me. The core and memory clocks of the 6600 GT are way more than those of the average 6800/6800LE. So I guess that offsets the wider memory bus and higher number of pixel...

6600GT (256MB RAM) vs. Radeon 9800 Pro (128MB RAM)

Forgot to add the following points - 1.) I frequently use Linux, so driver support for whatever card I choose, is a big thing. 2.) I've got a 17" CRT which I don't at all plan to upgrade. It's a really sweet monitor. So 10x7 is the best I'm going to do. However it'll be nice to play at this...

Hi all, I am looking for a similar upgrade. I currently have a GeForce 3 64 MB AGP and I don't intend to change my CPU/motherboard right now. I'm looking for a ~150 USD card. I will list out my choices here (based on the graphics chip) - GeForce 6600 GeForce 6800LE Radeon 9700/9800 Pro...

Asus A7N8X-E deluxe

What's the difference between the A7N8X Deluxe and the A7N8X-E Deluxe other than the fact that the latter officially supports 400 MHz CPU FSB and has a PCI Gigabit LAN controller? Basically, what makes the A7N8X costlier than the A7N8X-E inspite of the fact that the latter has these...

Best nForce2 motherboard around?

Sheesh... the local AMD reseller says that there's no distributor for DFI in India now. Think I'll go for the A7N8X/A7N8X-E Deluxe. I somehow like the board layout of the Asus boards over the NF7-S. Thanks a lot for the help everyone :)! Bye, Appu

Best nForce2 motherboard around?

Couple of last questions. Given that I've two differently sized memory modules of the same brand and make (one is 512 MB and one is 256 MB) will it be OK to use them in a dual-channel configuration? If it's not I'll probably go for an nForce2 400 board instead of an Ultra and save a bit. The...

Best nForce2 motherboard around?

It's poll time here and the government has removed import duty on all components except motherboards :(. Now, if my local AMD reseller (he's a distributor for AMD mobos as well) has the board I want, that would be great. Else, I might have to ask one of my friends in the US to ship it to me...

Best nForce2 motherboard around?

Yeah I was going to get a new rig sometime post-summer but a couple of days back, my machine suddenly stopped listening to me. Even if it boots, it hangs up in like a few moments, effectively as good as not booting at all. I'm actually looking at the power supply right now. Maybe I don't need a...

Best nForce2 motherboard around?

That's true. What I intend to do now is somewhat foolish but I can't even boot into my machine now and I need it for a lot of work. I was thinking maybe that I'll go with a good motherboard for another year before upgrading the entire thing. My parents can use the old box afterwards anyways ;)...

Faulty PS/2 keyboard jack on an MSI K7 Master

I have the single processor mobo (it's based on the AMD 760 regular). Right now I have a USB keyboard, as I mentioned. The motherboard provides two built-in USB 1.0 ports. I have the USB keyboard and a USB mouse which I have been using since the beginning.

Faulty PS/2 keyboard jack on an MSI K7 Master

Maybe I should've added this to my earlier post. I tested my PS/2 keyboard on another machine and it worked fine. I tried another PS/2 keyboard on my machine and things didn't work. It's the jack on my motherboard that's at fault. At present, I am just using some odd USB keyboard and I can work...

Will newer Socket A chipsets support older Athlon CPUs/cores?

I know I'm asking a silly question, but there it is anyway. Let's say my trusty old AMD 760-based mobo dies out on me one of these days. I decide that I'll keep my T-bird CPU with me instead of going for a new one (sentiment, that's all!!!). Will any of the nForce2 chipsets (or the KT600, say)...

Microsoft to release Windows server 64 Bit Edition ahead of the opteron release!!!
