Not any ghsoting or lagging that i notice the color are Seem to be Perfect for price worth how ever i just say you need to find the 160/160 perfect hangle which is like the forehead never at higher then the top of monitor the solution to see Perfect clarity / Brightness But that to all Tn panel tough
Then you can go with Brightness Tuning in the setup to see if you like more at 75% or 90% the Settings

If i could ad S-IPS i may have there soon a E-IPS 23 inch that will release i heard from 250-350$US Which is Better Then Tn panel in color and maybe Brigthness but unlike s-IPS who are top-notch monitor from like PLanar / Doublesight : but in canada was out of question way overpriced and 1-2 in stock
compare to usa About 20 in stock and half the price in canada 450-750$ Vs 1007$+

Interesting....the other one I was looking foris: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824005114

which is around 500 $ in canadaandI can afford it....but I may look at what you've proposed

LOL Yeah haha but just telling you there will be new os afterward and it can still run on a XP Tough since ur XP Is maybe not oem it may not work So Was just letting you know marcthpro

Yeah thanks...hey by the way I saw in your sig that you are using samsung T240, this is the monitor I'm looking forward to get with my next rig...How is it ?? How's the colors, the clarity, is there any ghosting or lagging ????

thanks

Yeah that why you need Vista 64 bits But you can still wait if you Wish to around September 7th which was rumour to be the Launch of Window 7 (Seven) Which should be even more compatible with old game tough i don't hear many people complain about Vista here :D only about there printer tough :D

marcthpro

September is too far...I want my new rig in may, as soon as school ends so I can have all summer long to play my favorite games :D....and I've learned a lesson in the past, if you always wait for better harware/software, you'll never buy anything...that's why I'm still using my 5 years old dusty dell xps Pentium 4 with my almost dead radeon xt850xt PE

You went a bit too back. Vista only supports apps which support XP or 2000, it is likely to fail in 98/95 apps.

I thought about getting my core i7 rig but using xp instead of vista until Windows 7; but with my 6 gb of ram and my 1 gb of vram, I'll be screwed with xp

If you can afford it then thats a sweet rig dude!

Daytona_178

yep, I'll probably do this, but I'm a bit worried about my old games...anyone ever experienced xp games not working on vista ??

Well, they are not very old games, they areXP games, like Alien vs predator 2, Battlefield 1942/vietnam/2/special forces, GTA vice city/san andreas, Far cry, COD, HAlf-life....moslty games from 2000 to 2007

wow 200 for a mid tower, u should get a full tower, much better for the hardware, gives it room to breathe, and its easyer to fit more stuff inside

riptoe222

A full tower like the twelve hundred would cost me 50$ more and with only 1GPU and 1 HDD, I don't think I'll need a bigger case

I Does hope Current X58 are Prepared for 32nm or In the Worst Scenario which is probabely the one ud not like at all :D they Could make us buy 32nm Avaible motherboard with a huge sticker on the box ! support 32nm!! WESTMERE lol :1 month before cpu out in order to make sure the people who as ALREADY A X58 To have to pay A Second time a 300$ FOR A GOOd motherboard :D

Like P35 Chipset Or Intel 965 chipset To P45 Support Core 2 duo 45nm / Core 2 Quad 45nm :P

marcthpro

I was worried about this at first but then I figured out that if I always wait for the new technology, I'll never get a new rig...With my next rig I'm aware that I'll probably have to change the Motherboard and the CPU in the next 2-3 years, but I can live with that.

If you can afford it then thats a sweet rig dude!

GTX 295 = best pure performance

Hi,

In May I will get a new built, I've searched a lot and I've come down to this built:

case: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129058

CD/DVD burner: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827129032

GPU:http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130446

This builtwill be used withwindows Vista

My main problem is that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to go for vista...I have mixed feelings about how my windows XP games will going to react to vista and I'm wondering if I should built a windows XP based rig instead (with 2 gig of DDR3 1333 instead of 6 gig, an intel core 2 duo E8600 instead of core i7, and a LGA775 MB of course instead of a LGA1366 MB)...if I do that, I'm saving around 250 $ but does a 250 $ cut is enough to go for a the windows xp rig instead of the vista rig ???...as you can see, I'm messed up in my head and need help

Thanks
