Is it possible for a VIA/S3G Unichrome II IGP to not support WS resolutions at ALL?

I had to update the bios of an asus (can't remember the model) to get WS resolutions on the integrated S3 Unichrome. Latest drivers should be at viaarena

Anyone used/tried this 19" Flat CRT? MITSUBISHI DIAMOND VIEW DV19NF

I used a Diamond Plus 92, which seems to have the same tube (.25-.27mm), but inferior refresh rates ~92 KHz IIRC Color was great and convergence and focus were perfect (maybe the owner was lucky). Years later, I tried two new models (very briefly this time, but I could try some...

Does OLED allow for better refesh rates than LCDs?

OLED response times are around 16ms right now. SED response times are below 1ms. From behardware:

Just ordered my 2007WFP!

The 2007WFP is a widescreen monitor: 1680x1050 The 2007FP is 1600x1200 Performance should be a bit better with the widescreen.

Can a monitor like the 2005FPW play 1080p videos?

Yeah, you can always resize the image.

wow dell 2405

You are using more pixels to show the same things or area of the game (for example, your gun), so the lines are more accurate.

Not just 30 pixels... HD 1080p is 1920x1080 The 2005FPW is 1680x1050, so if you center the image, you'll loose 15 pixels on the top and botom and 120 on each side of the screen. You are roughly losing 15% of the image, or 309600 pixels. Edit: typo, sorry

What is a "Normal" Temp for a Athlon X2?

Accuracy and computer sensors don't mix. You can only compare processor temps with the same mobo. But they are ok to get a general idea, and see how much the temps raise under load. (a 10ºC raise could be more or less than that though)

3800+ X2 Default speed & voltage. 2.0GHz, 1.35V Idle: 28ºC Dual prime: 41ºC I'm using a cheap Arctic Cooling Sliencer 64 (I'm changing it soon because it is noisy). It runs at 2300rpm, but those temps were measured at 1750 rpm (lowered with speedfan).

The new Raptor is out!

5-8 minutes? Most likely too much crap installed. (Yeah, that's the User problem). As suggested before, check if you are running those drives in PIO mode. Go to each disk properties, check DMA (if disabled), uncheck NCQ (if enabled. I don't think your drives support NCQ, so it should be...

Which hard drive do you think would perform better?

You'd better look for some real benchmarks, but seek time is far more important than cache size.
