Better check that socket. AFAIK, X2 5600+ are Socket AM2, not 939

Yep!

Eh? 3.3V supply was mandatory in PCI v 2.2 or later. Are you saying that the Dell is only PCI 2.1 or earlier? How retarded.

Dell have got a 22" e-IPS display 2209WA and it seems it can be had for a little over US$200. People seem so happy with it, I'm going to buy one in AUS. That's the cheapest IPS panel I've seen... Note: e-IPS is an LG derivative of 1st/2nd generation IPS, so it's not S-IPS or A-IPS :( but...

That's what I like about this place--everyone's helpful. The NEC *Uxi's are awesome, but so is the price :(

From best to worst: *IPS -> *VA -> TN Except for some super expensive panel, Anything under 24" is TN. Most 24" are TN as well. TN can be adequate, depends on your needs. Don't get hung up on colour gamut, response times, dot pitch or any other single metric. It is a series of trade-offs...

If the AV comes up with nothing, try running CHKDSK. The disk may have developed bad sectors and files may be corrupt

http://www.techreport.com/articles.x/16570 The AMD offerings are compelling at this point in time. I would tend to favour the larger cache models of Intel's offerings over the smaller if the person multi-tasks much--they feel "snappier" I also echo the NVIDIA vs AMD graphics. NVIDIA has a...

+1 for Media Player Classic Home Cinema and the K-Lite Codec Pack (thank you Mercutio)

What about a TV Tuner for recording FTA?

It's not me you have to worry about.

In the news today, it is reported that GM has said that they don't have a viable business model going forward. Is this true, or are they drumming up leverage for more federal money? I certainly hope it isn't true, more for the workers sake, but if it isn't, then it's a pretty callous tactic.

As a female friend who is into the lighter side of the BD scene would say "what's a little pain between friends?". I sure I can hear Rick James in the background... "She's a very kinky girl..." :0

What's wrong with tweezers? No batteries, environmentally friendly.

Hey Tony, are you OK? The fires are headed for Ballarat today I hear

I noticed that Canberra was replacing incandescent traffic lights (par 56/64?) with LED based two or three years ago. I see a significant number of these with a significant amount of blown emitters. Green seems to be worse than red/orange

So if Paris is on the way up, does that mean she went down? :0

The trees are blackened, but I can see what you mean. You were expecting complete levelling, whilst it looks like the leaves are still on the trees. Australian trees have little resemblance to trees of the Northern Hemisphere. The canopy is much more open and spread out. The leaves also...

I have been trying out SMP on a Windows 7 32-bit box (Q6600), that is also used quite as a normal machine. Under XP, it used to average about 3 000~3 100 ppd for 2665 units. Under Windows 7, it's averaging about 2 800 ppd. The flip side is an Athlon X2 5000+ using Windows 7 64-bit. With unit...

And this is why I have no great desire to visit the U.S.A. I used to. But not any more. Don't you fingerprint all foreign nationals now as a matter of course? Sorry, but I'm not a criminal. Whatever happened to presumption of innocence? At least the French are upfront about things--guilty...

Ultimate -- yes. My bad. I didn't realise a retail (FPP) version of Vista Business wasn't either.

Mainly @ Merc, and not a criticism BTW. English Sci-Fi, as opposed to U.S. Sci-Fi does look a little hokey. The budget for the SFX just isn't there. To balance it out, the storylines have to be more character driven, rather than action driven. And yes, there are exceptions. That isn't a...

According to here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/f/4/5f4c83d3-833e-4f11-8cbd-699b0c164182/royaltyoemreferencesheet.pdf OEM Vista Business & Premium only qualify for downgrade rights and according to here...

AFAIK, Microsoft lets Vista Business users or above "downgrade" to XP Professional. You need to have, or have access to an XP install disk and know what type it is (OEM, Retail, VLK). Ring MS, give them the Vista key and they should give you an XP Key to suit the XP disk type. Has this changed?

I dislike Marvell with a passion. Seemed to be popular with Intel x965 chipsets. I had an issue with a Gigabyte P965 that would give "Delayed Write Failed" errors with the Marvell plugged into a gigabit switch--D-Link DGS-1005D. Gigabyte blamed everyone even though it was repeatable. Sold...

Pay for SPARC? My impression was the SPARC is an Open design anyway--no license fees. You want to design a SPARC processor. Go right ahead. Mind you, testing, fabrication, sales infrastructure etc. aren't part of the deal, so maybe Sun want to divest themselves of the hardware division. BTW...

That, and I've been on holidays for two weeks so everything got shut down. :santa: Got back home last night and it was about 37.5 C (close to 100 F) at 7:45PM! Heat is going to be an issue for the next three months. Thanks all.

You were right SD. I checked the dimensions of the Dell 2408WFP and it is pretty much the same size.

As I said, space is tight, and I'm not sure that the 22" will fit. As for the panel: http://www.samsung.com/au/consumer/detail/spec.do?group=television&type=television&subtype=lcdtv&model_cd=LA22A450C1XXY&fullspec=F says that the viewing angle is 178 deg. Have you seen something different?

What I want to do is use an LCD TV as a monitor. I already use my 37" Samsung as a monitor and it works like a charm. I'm thinking of replacing my 19" 5:4 910T with a TV Why? Glad you asked. More screen real estate. My eyesight isn't what it used to be, so a 1900x1200 22" isn't a great...
