I'm playing The Thing and UT2003 on this monitor. The ghosting is very subtle. My wife couldn't see it at all. The color presentation on this monitor is excellent. It blows away my Hitachi Supercan Elite CRT in every conceivable way except the very slight ghosting. I'm sure it isn't the...
Guys, I just picked up two of these, one for myself and one for my wife. $399 shipped, comes with the DVI cables. The colors are vibrant, the text clear. Ghosting is very subtle but visible on shooters, non-existant on everything else. This is just a fantastic deal. I thought it would be...
I figured it out. I'm a moron. I had trouble getting the male into the female, probably because I just didn't have them properly lined up. Then when I looked I saw the number of pins was different and assuming incompatability. The monitor has a DVI-D connection and the Radeon 8500 has a...
Thanks for the reply. I remain confused.
The monitor specs say it has DVI-D. The cable that comes with it says "DVI Digital Single Link Shuttle-C' whatever that means. It has 3 sets of pins. Two identical square sets that are each 3 by 3, so 2 sets of 9 for 18 pins. The third is a single...
Are you telling me there is only 1 kind of DVI jack? So what is this? It isn't VGA. There's a separate VGA connector. And this cable says DVI on it, but it won't plug into the videocard. There's got to be an answer here.

I just got an 18.1" Gateway LCD monitor with DVI. I have the Radeon 8500 videocard. The DVI cable that came with the monitor seems to have 2 arrays of 9 pins each. My videocard's DVI input is incompatable having an array of 24 holes and a separate array of 4 holes. What product do I need to...
"Acceptable" is a moving target depending on your standards. I see very slight ghosting with 30ms displays, which is acceptable to me. If I were a perfectionist, I would agree that something under 20 is best.
Delbert:
Thanks for the tip on the DVI cables. I am getting two of the Gateways...
Not too shabby, but I'm starting to get that "price creep" bug. I've got a new job and money burning a hole in my pocket. I don't really need the Asus Deluxe board, but upgrade disease has its grip. I was also starting to consider the XP 2500 (333). Uh, and an 18" LCD. Must. Not. Comply.
30 ms with DVI should be acceptable for games. You might see very faint ghosting at most.
Damn though, $355. I'd jump on that in 2 seconds flat. If I can't find a better deal, I think I'll jump on this one though.
Thanks Ben. The "+" is only 10 bucks more, so I figure I may as well have RAID in case I ever decide to use it. Didn't know about the sound being comparable to Audigy. I might consider transferring my Audigy to my wife's comp if that's the case. I am also considering springing another $30...
Yeah, that's what I've heard. And I'm certainly not going to use IGP. I guess it doesn't hurt though, since 1 stick of 512 is usually more expensive than 2 sticks of 256 anyway.
Thanks for the speedy reply. I was actually considering the Epox.
I read somewhere that using the NF2 in dual channel mode makes very little difference. Is that true?
I am putting together a new system, middle price range. Have decided to go with nforce 2, Athlon XP 2400.
I don't really have time to research all the motherboard options. Can someone recommend a mobo that I can get online (pricewatch) anywhere from say $80-$100, meaning one that retails...
I apologize in advance if this is nothing special:

It's an 18" Gateway LCD with DVI for $399. It seems odd to me because the next closest price I've seen for an 18" with DVI is around $475. Does anyone know anything about this unit? Also if anyone...
It doesn't work in any other slot. Another thing, I tried this stick in my wife's comp. Her comp just hangs at the "loading nvram" message in the opening screen. Also her RAM does not work in my comp at all, won't even post, but works fine in hers. The first issue points to a problem with my...
I have a strange ongoing problem. About 2 weeks ago, my comp. started experiencing random crashes and errors. Every other time I'd try to boot, I would get a random error message that wouldn't repeat itself the next time I booted. For example, I got "NTLDR is missing" which is supposed to...
Sorry about that. :( I didn't realize it myself. The store display does not say it, and the salesperson didn't tell me of the restriction when I asked about the warranty upon check out. I'll return it if I decide it isn't worth it for $50. I suspect the original ad (which I didn't see)...
I just walked into Best Buy and they have a Motorola Cable modem, model SB4200 for $90, with a $90 mail-in rebate! I think that the BB ad actually shows this deal, so some of you may already know about it. But I couldn't find the BB ad posted here, so I am posting this as a reminder. I just...
I don't mean to thread crap or anything, but here it is for $176, with free ground shipping:
http://www.allstarshop.com/shop/simprod.asp?pid=6192&ad=pwatch
Haven't called to see if it is in stock though. Regardless, the card will be broadly available this coming week, and I would expect to...
I just bought an open box 5gb version for my daughter's birthday for $235, only to suddenly realize that it is the Mac version. I was going to buy Xplay online for $23.
How do I go about converting it to a Windows version?
Pardon me? Was I implying anything about class or wealth? I thought I was providing information earlier in the thread for anyone who might be interested. It is really quite amusing that every single time something expensive comes up people who can't afford it must blather on about how pricey...
I find it quite predictable (and always amusing) that whenever anything expensive gets a thread here people must line up to joke about how ridiculous they think it is. If you don't have the money for something, just move on. Otherwise, it's just thread crapping.
Best online street price on that particular unit is $7695. http://store.yahoo.com/aboutgizmos/toshiba50hp81.html. Also you can get the Panasonic which the Tosh is a rebadge of for $6800 from certain online vendors.
For future reference regarding plasma displays, anyone interested should...
That's a good deal. Possibly a better one is the JBL S26 (series I) bookshelf speakers at www.jandr.com for $159 per pair with free shipping. These speakers retailed at $350 prior to the introduction of the series II. They are the same exact sound quality as the series II as well. Very...
Point of clarification. Dukat1 is correct. My wife bought these and told me they were six months old. Upon inspection however, the bottles do not have a "born on" date. Actually, they have an expiration date, "do not drink after August 20, 2002." She told me she assumed that meant they must...
They aren't cans but plastic bottles. The price is given as an equivalent to 12 oz. cans. Costco is a chain on the west coast I believe. At least I know it is all over California. The equivalent back east is Sams Club. When I went into a Sams Club last year visiting Ohio I noticed they had...
Costco has a special surplus item. It is cases of twenty-four 24 ounze plastic bottles of Pepsi or Diet Pepsi for $6. Each case is the equivalent of 48 12 oz. cans, so it runs the equivalent of 12 cents per can. I posted this because it appears to be a better deal than the Office Depot price...
Uh, the speakers are on sale guys. They're ON SALE. Check the website. The package deals offer discounts of up to $500, and those deals are temporary. If someone here doesn't feel that is a hot enough deal for the forum, they are entitled to that opinion. Otherwise, it's thread crapping.
I...
"The only real difference between the 2802 and the 3802 is the power ratings (80 watts x 6 vs 100 watts x 6)"
Not accurate. The 2802 is 90x6, and the 3802 is 110x7. The main difference being that 7th amped channel for a 7.1 system.
Can anyone confirm that this is an authorized dealer?
