Does Intel 875P chipset mobos require a new PS?

Thanks for the info! So do you know anything about new PS requirements in the future? I could have sworn I heard this somewhere.

Does Intel 875P chipset mobos require a new PS?

I'm considering the Abit IC7-MAX3 mobo. Will I need a new power supply? I thought I read a while back that new mobos were going to require new power supplies for some reason or another. Thanks,

Can you guys recommend a good LCD for FPS gaming?

Is there any place that stocks it locally? I'd like to go look at it before ordering one online. Thanks,

either of these a good LCD??

I would never buy an LCD without DVI. My dad bought an LCD with VGA and he couldn't turn off the stretching of the image to fit his display because that option only shows up under the FPD tab.

Question about LCD, resolution, 9700Pro, and HL2.

Go into your advanced display properties and click on the displays tab. Now click on the tab above your monitor and you should see an option for stretching the image to fit your screen. Turn this off and you will be able to run lower resolutions without it being stretched (or whatever you call it).

17" is about the size I'm looking for. I'd also like it to have a 16ms response time if possible. Thanks,

How do I stop my games from being stretch to fit my LCD screen?

I know there's an option in the display properties somewhere but I can't find it. When I play games at a lower res then the native res, I don't want the image stretched to fit the screen. Can someone point me to where this setting is? BTW, this is for a Radeon 9600 with Cat 3.7's and Windows XP...

How do I get rid of all these pop up ads?

This is really strange! A couple days ago I started getting pop up ads on my desktop when I had no programs including IE running. Can anyone explain what is going on and how I go about getting rid of these ads? Thanks,

Does anyone besides Sony and Samsung make a widesceen LCD?

I won't buy the Sony because there's no DVI and the Samsung pixel pitch and resolution isn't that great.

CRT or LCD? Just so you know, I'm a big FPS gamer.

Maybe I'll go over to Circuit City and pick up a LCD. They've got a good return policy if I'm not happy with it. So what do you guys think of the newer widescreen LCD's that are just now starting to hit the streets?

CRT or LCD? Just so you know, I'm a big FPS gamer.

So what does it look like when you play a game at a lower res then the native LCD res? I've heard if you run the game at a lower res and use the whole screen it looks like crap but if you don't use the who screen it looks fine except you end up with the picture being smaller (framed). Is this...

CRT or LCD? Just so you know, I'm a big FPS gamer.

I'm currently using a 19" Sony CRT. I've got a real bad itch to buy an LCD. I really like the new Sony SDM-HS73/H. It has a 20ms response time. However, it doesn't have DVI. Also, it's a 4:3 screen and I'd like to move up to a widescreen. What should I do? Are LCD's finally good enough for FPS...
