Thinking about going to an HDTV as a monitor

Just make absolutely certain that any such LCD HD TV wouldn't have significant amounts of input lag.

Intel x25-m, whats the difference between C1, R5, etc..

In essence, you'd be paying $50 more for an included bracket and plastic spacer. Does that seem worth it to you? ;)

Unable to create 3 TB Bootable Raid0

MBR only supports up to 2TB. GUID can support more than 2TB but it won't be bootable. Besides, 3 x 1TB RAID 0 in my honest opinion is a terrible idea and just asking for trouble.

Does adding system RAM increase integrated graphics performance?

Nope. Same way that more VRAM doesn't translate as the only factor of a graphics adapter's performance, adding more system RAM to benefit an integrated graphics adapter is akin to using a hard disk as system RAM; there's just too much latency. Not to mention that IGPs are crippled and crap...

Can RAID disks be faster than SSD?

In throughput? Yes, a RAID array can thoroughly beat a single SSD. In access time? Never in a million years. Now, if you want real performance, try RAID'ed X25-Es. :Q

Please suggest

The reason why people are telling you to bite the bullet and upgrade the rest of your system is that upgrading to a more powerful single component does no good if you are bottlenecked by other, older components like your CPU. A lot of computing purchases are about minimizing the bottleneck, and...

Video card missing pins?

Did you buy this card new or something? Would you have pictures of what you're talking about to help aid in your description of your issue?

Half Life 2: Will my video card hold up? ATI 4350

HL2 is nothing for modern video cards (other than Intel integrated graphics). You don't have much to worry about, especially with those specs.

Dell U2410

http://www.cnet.com.au/dell-ul...rp-u2410-339298064.htm CNet (I know, I know) has input lag testing at the bottom of the review if this would interest any of you.

Connecting a stand alone DVD player to a LCD Monitor??

A U2410 for just DVD playback is a waste, IMO. Play it on your computer and then use the U2410 for other things, because a $600 H-IPS monitor isn't going to do any justice if you're going to be using it for just DVD playback. ;) For sound, a Dell Sound Bar may be appropriate, but they don't...

Choosing a SATA II controller

Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 if you want eight ports on PCIe, though you'll need to get ~$15 SFF-8086 SAS-to-SATA breakout cables to connect to your PC. Still, for ~$100 with clean cable management and simplicty, that can't be beat. Of course, there's the AOC-SAT2-MV8, which is a PCI-X card (that...
