    New widescreen - can't set proper resolution

    Hey, just got a new Dell E198WFP and paired it up with a Dell Poweredge SC420 running Windows XP Professional. The resolutions that I can select are not widescreen, therefore the picture is stretched. Dell Customer Support said that XP is not supported on that computer and dropped it at...

    Resolution versus Screen size; need help deciding

    I plan on using a desktop LCD along with a yet to be purchased Playstation 3. I would like to be as cheap as possible but there are quality limits that restrain me from going with something completely generic or unheard of for myself. So for the time being I am looking at the Dell 24” and the...

    eMachines mobo died, need help with replacement working with OEM XP

    This is for my boss, his eMachines computer wouldn't boot up and after checking the RAM, buying a new PSU, etc. it has been realized it's the ECS L7VMM2 motherboard that has died. Apparently it's now a known problem with that model of eMachine but the part isn't made anymore. Everything else...

    Best LCD for the Playstation 3 under $500?

    I’ve wanted the good Dell 24” LCD to use with the PS3 but even on sale it’s over $500. It looks like Newegg has the Viewsonic VG2230wm which is 22” for $329 and free shipping. I’d lose a couple of inches but with over a two hundred dollar savings I think I could live with that. Do any of...

    720p image on Dell UltraSharp 24.0" 2407WFP?

    I need a high-def solution for the Playstation 3 and this display would be able to run 1080p as well as a resolution up to 1200p basically while in Linux. I really like this display but probably my biggest concern is running 720p on it. I am not sure how well 720p would work on a display that...

    Here's the setup: Broadband internet comes into the building, hooked up to a Linksys BEFW11S4 Wi-Fi enabled router, which is then hooked up to a switch where every other computer and switch plugs into (including the file server). Every computer can get onto the internet. Ever computer...

    Streaming windows media content seems to kill my wireless network

    Serious, what's up with that? I have a Belkin PCMCIA card, not the best but it hasn't given me a problem otherwise, and I have a Linksys wireless router. So whenever I go to a webpage that has an embedded streaming WM content or when I try and "preview" a song that streams on a website I...

    Using HDTV as PC monitor (laptop to TV)

    I'm planning on getting a nice 50" or so HDTV whenever the PS3 releases, and I am thinking of trying to use it as a PC monitor as well. My laptop will output up to 1600x1200 resolution via VGA-out (no DVI :(). Assuming I get a TV with VGA-in or somehow convert the VGA to HDMI or something...

    The BFG 6800 GT OC is my favorite card... ever.

    I basically built this rig for this generation of games (DOOM 3 ;)) and the most recent addition was the BFG 6800 GT OC, which replaced a Radeon 9800 PRO 128MB (which replaced a Geforce 3). Anyway, I just finished Doom 3 not too long ago...and I must say... it was an absolutely flawless...

    Think nVidia will squeeze some more performance out of their drivers for OGL/DOOM 3?

    Especially for us 6800 GT users... I'm just curious... do you think they've tweaked them as far as they can go... or will we be able to get some more FPS out of them.

    I want to game at 1600x1200 with the upcoming games!

    Doom 3, Half Life 2, STALKER, etc... (I have a Shuttle with a 200W PSU too btw) So my options are the X800 XT-PE or the 6800 GT because both are single slot solutions and the GT can supposedly overclock to Ultra speeds just fine. Again, my goal is 1600x1200 with acceptable framerates and all...

    What's the ATI equivalent of Coolbits?

    Today I went from an nVidia card to an ATI Radeon 9800 PRO and I'm wanting to overclock it a tad. Before I was a faithful user of the coolbits registry hack which opened up the overclocking tab in the video card properties... it worked GREAT. You could set it to enable the overclock on every...
