Samsung monitors are really nice.

Not sure if your card has a DVI in Glaanieboy, but if it does, get a digital monitor. I find it a lot nicer then an analog one

Glaanieboy

I have DVI in it, but the (new) monitor doesn't. Can you really tell the diffference @ 15"? I thought you could only notice the difference with a 17" or higher monitor.

Nick M

See, I suppose it depends on the eyes.

I have one nearsighted, one far sighted eye, and both are really sensitive, so I see the differnece.

You probablt wont

Glaanieboy

Thanks for the info anyway Nick!

(ps. See you soon on SP??? I am gone again, as you may noticed )

Nick M

Sure.

and, I doubt it's visble with a 15in.

I'm on SP actually, just...you aren't on there

Glaanieboy

Well, I am there, and again I am not (just @ the other side, stuck, on my own, not even perris)

Nick M

Dammit. This is pissing me off. X-Istence has got to do something about that.

Glaanieboy

There is something 'in the works', xsiv told me. But I understood it has to stay a secret, so I won't say anything. I'll just wait for it to happen

multimonitor is well sweet

I doubt I could go back to single monitor after using this setup...

it is SOOO easy with extra desktop space on 2 monitors (instead of just one ginormous one)

certainly helps me out...

I play games on 1 monitor only... don't like added distractions... (normally turn off secondary) but I can still follow conversations et al

next upgrade might be in the summer... thinking of a barton 3000+-ish though that depends how much florida decides to raise tuition fees...

obviously the multimillion dollar bonuses awarded to university presidents for 20 minute speeches has to be subsidised some place

Crucial

I have the pleasure of a duel monitor setup too.

I perticulary like it when I'm programming. Its great to be able to have my development IDE open full screen on one moitor and have IE open to various helpfull pages on the web.

When I'm surfing I love to have my IE full screen on my 21'' and outlook and trillian running on the other.

I also find it usefull when i want to see whats going on with games and things, you know processor and memory usage. I have the game run on the main monitor and then have task manager showing me whats going on on the other. - related point I'd love to be able to c a bit more than task manager shows me without having to setup silly amounts of things in system monitor. Anyone got any ideas? I'd rather not have something that runs all the time, I only install what I'm going to use, keeps the computer working sweet.

Cheers and beers.

the_music_man

did you take that burning picture from me!!!! haha just kidding crucial!

Henyman was too lazy to type up his own, he gave details! lol

Taurus

my board is almost 2 and a half years old. basically everything else in this comp has been upgraded since i originally built it in 2000. there's nothing else i can really do to it. i take pride in being able to make it last this long and, at the same time, the smart purchases i made for it which saved me money and ended up being able to still play the latest games quite decently. (9000 3dmarks, baby)
