Monitor Upgrade

SuperTyphoon, I can read your sig on my 17" at 1600x1200 from 4.5' away. I really really want to stick with 1600x1200. I just didn't want to have to shell out $400 - $500 to get an LCD that could run it.

Monitor Upgrade

I'd rather have a $250 17" 1600x1200 like my CRT... only light. :'(

Monitor Upgrade

I have a laptop, and it has a 15" screen that runs 1400x1050, which is why I can't believe I can't find a stand alone monitor that runs at a higher resolution without being gigantic and expensive.

Monitor Upgrade

Thanks, Matthias. As for the resolution, I have stupidly good eyes (18/20 vision) and it doesn't bother me. I guess I'll just drop the resolution a bit and go with a 17" LCD... oh well.

Monitor Upgrade

I'm at a bit of an impass and would appreciate some advice/feedback/suggestions/etc. I have a Samsung 700NF, it's a 17" CRT that runs 1600x1200@75 - hell, it runs 2048x1536@60, but 60 Hz is painful. Getting ready to leave for my third year of college, I've gotten a bit tired of lugging the thing...

Abit IS7-G: Disappearing CDRW

CDRW's jumper is "master" and the hard drive's jumper is set to "slave" and they are both on the Secondary IDE channel

Random network failures

The Dell is a laptop, I don't have any spare PCMCIA NICs as I don't personally have a laptop. As for the router, I tried it in all the ports, the Dell is still the only one with troubles.

Random network failures

A friend of mine got a Dell Inspiron 2500 latptop. I set up the network at her house, a Linksys 4 port router to share the cable connection with the 3 computers in their house. Everything has been working great for the past couple months, but today, the Dell started getting... finicky. It...

New System won't POST

All the right LEDs come on and all the switches work, so I'm pretty sure I've all those plugged in properly.

Which would be the better gaming rig?

You could send them to me and I'd be more than willing to test them out for a year or so and let you know for sure which is better in any and all situations ;). Or you could just go with the Athlon-XP. I think it's pretty safe to say it is "teh winnar!"

New System won't POST

I recently build a computer for a friend of mine, but much to our dismay, it doesn't seem to work. The system will power on, all the fans start spinning... and then it waits. It just sits there for about 10 seconds, nothing on the monitor, not a sound from the speaker, just the whir of the...
