    LCD Woes

    The new(er) MSI video card resolved the 1920x1200 black lines and it works with the Egyptian. However, the software is not working in the x64 installation. It crashes and then the sensor is just stuck in the display. :(

    LCD Woes

    The correct monitor INF does nothing. My olden computer is working with the monitor to some degree, so it must be a video card problem. I'm confused about which drivers to use. What is the relationship between NVideo, ATI, Radeon and AMD? I recall there are only two major companies left. Or...

    It is probably on the software disc supplied with the monitor. I was hoping to avoid installing a mass of junk, but will try that too.

    LCD Woes

    Thanks, but I need to try everything else first. The video is a Sapphos X1600 which is around four years old. I have two other cards here that I bought about a year ago for the 30" LCD disaster, an Asus EAH4350 (fanless, single width) and an MSI R3650. I don't have any discs at the moment...

    LCD Woes

    Windows sees the monitor as a generic P&P. I tried every possible DVI cable on both inputs and removed the KVM switch. There is no DisplayPort on the video card to test. The best I can get at 1200x1920 is a picture that has random thin, black horizontal lines. It still blacks out...

    LCD Woes

    I received the super fancy new 24" display today, but the color is terrible and it is stretched in the width. When I try to use the 1200x1920 setting the display blacks out and then returns to 1200x1600. I read that the single-linked cable should work and there is a similar one included in the...

    I have 6x2TB of primary data drives (the WD2001FASS 7200 RPM drive is for WIP), backed up by another 6x2TB of individual drives. There are 5-8 other drives and additional complications, but the 6x2TB (~8TB filled) are the "live" data. Anything other than 1:1 filesync backup is not very...

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    No, it is in TB. The X25-E drive is almost two years old. My X25-M G2 has 1.32TB, but it is used for the x64 OS/apps without any temp or page files.

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    I have over 13 TB on the old X25-E. I'm not sure what it was rated for, but the drive is only used for XP and temp files. I agree that 60TB is not much.

    Thanks. What is the deal with the RAM? I can't figure out the newfangled multipliers without a headache. Which speed rating is needed? Assuming I would get only 12GB, is 6x2 better than 3x4 for CPU overclocking? :monky:

    There is no money for beasts. The majority of the funds will be exhausted on the monitor. :pale: If I spring for the big CPU, what can I buy for the remaining ~$1000 towards motherboard, RAM, video card (really cheap one) and case? I could probably reuse the same case, but it is nearly 10...

    When to Build New System

    I used to calibrate the display every few months, but have not done that since about a year ago. :( The more I read about calibration issues the more I'm thinking that the built-in type is worthwhile. The whole upgrade cost would approach $7K at this rate, and that does not include new hard...

    The difference in cost between the two monitors is almost $1000. The specs are the same except for the built-in calibrator.

    Let's hope the latest SandStorm is more reliable. It's not so fun to reformat every half-dozen boots. I'm not convinced that the transfer rates are realistic either, if they continue the multiply by two theory of compressible data.
