DukeLeto Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Pricewatch, or Newegg for starters....are both about $100-$200 more. And I don't use retailer tech support anyways. Remember, to me: Value for money>fluff features, and "customer support" is the biggest fluff feature ever. (Perhaps next to 1394 ports. WTF are 1394 ports for?)

veK Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 WTF are 1394 ports for?That for:http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/I/IEEE_1394.htmlactually they aren't used very often but they are extremely good. I use one firewire port for an external harddrive in a icybox case. it's connected to the notebook via usb2.0 and to my gaming pc via firewire. transfer rates are so much higher than with usb 2.0... it's a pity not more devices were developped for firewire instead of the usb standard...

DukeLeto Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Hmm, sounds like IEEE 1394b would be perfect for the coveted External Graphics Card that would be the Glorious Salvation of notebook gamers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megashrap Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 I'm still using a CRT, I gotta get something similar to that one. For some odd reason my monitors are always the very last thing I ever upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veK Posted May 22, 2005 Author Share Posted May 22, 2005 Odd, it doesn't say the response time for that monitor. (eg. 25ms)it should be written by the detailed informations...it has 16ms response time - was a very very good value by the time this monitor came out on the market. nowadays you also have got 12ms and 8ms... but 16ms is enough for even playing very fast games like quake3:cpma oder painkiller.it's a really great monitor... every corner has the same brightness (on my notebook the tft is just crap: it's much brighter in the lower quarter and it also depends on which angle you are looking on it) - at the dell monitor I can look from which angle I want and always have a good picture.2 friends of mine got this one too...

desert_storm Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I just bought asus sli delux AMD 64 3000 1 gig of memory a sli ready 256mb 6800 GPU a decent case windows xp pro 64x winows xp home 2 80gb sata hard drives 1 40gb ide hard drive Adobe Photo shop a DVD writerand I think I am forgeting something...... My parents gave me a $1300 limit, and if I remember right, all of that cost about $1200. I was going to get a amd 3200 but they were out of them so I went down to a 3000 so that I wouldn't exceed my limit. I will buy a secong GPU with my own money, and in a few months I will upgrade the cup to a dual core cpu. I will buy a network adapter, internet security, and E:BfD all for under $100 today or tommorw. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
