Several makers were showing these off at the SID show in Baltimore this year. Only the super high res LCDs (3200x2400) looked good. The 3d plasmas were crappy looking.

I suspect his Cocaine habit had more to do with it. :P

Right, and that would be an error on their part. :P Stereodude

There's not AGP port on it. Now, how about you give us the answer? Stereodude

You're pretty smart for a primate Tea. Stereodude

That's not entirely true. CRT projectors with 3 9" guns can do it. As can some of the new TFT LCD TVs from Samsung and LG.Philips. Also, Sony's new line of CRT tubes coming out this summer have increased resolution to true 1920x1080. LCOS and Sony's SXRD projection technology can do...

But that's just it Mr. Tek. An engine is an airpump. Power is all about burning fuel and air. If they're both making 400HP they've using equivalent amounts of fuel. It's thermodynamics and physics. Judging from your comments apparently you didn't pay much attention in those two classes if...

The automotive press has just lambasted the Ion for being a cheap POS. I had read somewhere that the turbo version would only have about 170HP. I did a little web searching and it seems it's listed as having about 200HP. Either way I've not heard positive things about the Ecotech engine from...

I wasn't aware you had offended me. All I said was that some of the stuff on that page was pretty distasteful. As far as "constantly" offending me I haven't a clue where you got that idea from. Stereodude

Ahhh... the sounds of ignorance. I hate to break it to you, but the fuel economy is generally not related to the displacement of the engine, but more to the amount of power it produces. Assuming an engine is reasonably well tuned (not running rich or lean). A 2.0L I4 making 400HP will use...

Apparently someone works for GM. :D My Dad, and two uncles did. Now some of them are retired. Either way GM and Turbo aren't something I want to hear mentioned in the same sentence. A Turbo Saturn Ion? With a screaming 170HP? What are they thinking? Apparently the same thing as Mazda...

A lot of the stuff on that page is pretty distasteful if you ask me, but then again it's in France, what should we expect? Stereodude

It looks interesting, but it all hinges on how much it actually costs. Considering firebreathers like this are available in other countries for less money. Look at The Holden HSV or some of the other 5.7L V-8 RWD manual tranny cars. Stereodude

There should be a warning about the popups on that page. They open more when you close them. Stereodude

But did you ever see them? Is the croc hunter even from aussieland? Stereodude

Sweet! They still sell the El Camino in Oz. That's it I'm packing my bags and moving there. Stereodude

I probably should refrain from saying this, but the TSA people seem about as sharp as a marble. Apparently one of my bags in Kansas City tested positive for Nitroglycerin. The woman says to the other guy. "The machine's acting up again." They proceeded to unpack my carefully packed bag and...

I blame you for their not staying. :P Stereodude

My IP hasn't changed in over a year. My new router never releases it even when the service goes down and it expires. It will renew it as soon as the service is back up. But, even with the old router almost never changed. Stereodude

I have 1 DHCP address that's very "static" shall we say. Since I wasn't a cable subscriber I had to get it before I could get a cable modem. Just cable modem service is about $80. Basic cable and the cable modem is the same price. So I play $80 for a cable modem + basic cable, but it's still...

Yeah all you Cannucks suck. :p I'm paying almost $80 a month for 2Mbit/384 Time Warner RoadRunner. The only good thing is they don't gripe about how much data you transfer, but considering how much I'm paying, they'd better not. Stereodude

Yeah, but if it last 9 months to a year I don't think they really care. Stereodude

You can't in Windows unless the drivers supports it. You need two identical NICs and drivers that support redundancy. Stereodude

There are people running over 2.1V with peltiers and watercooling. I'm running my T-bred B at default voltage only slightly faster than it's rated. Stereodude

You must give in to the Force. You can feel the 512meg sticks of Corsair XMS3500 calling to you. Won't you give them a listen? Stereodude

I pushed my 1700+ past 2gHz without any problems. I'm only running it at it's default speed at the moment. Stereodude

It all depends on the Mobo. The MSI KT400 board I have you can just change the multiplier even though the chip is not unlocked. You can do whatever you want without touching the chip. It's pretty nice. I got a T-bred B 1700+ Stereodude

Clocker, Actually I just read the review and it looks like the SI controller goes back and forth with the Promise. Look at the Legacy benchmarks. Wow. The SI just decimates the Promise. Stereodude

That's gotta be a first for Promise. :D Stereodude

So you got a drive that's 40 gig smaller and you're giddy why? Stereodude

Actually it looks like RAM is starting it's slide down now. Stereodude

Ummm 1400x1050 is a 4:3 resolution, not 16:9. My Dell has a 14.1" 1400x1050 screen. Stereodude

Nero doesn't burn very compatible video dvds. I have a DRU500a. The 500ax just has the latest firmware already installed. I have the "F" version of the firmware installed on mine. I've burnt a few Video DVD-R's with DVD Decrypter which work fine in all the stuff I've tested in. Stereodude

Not to mention what the polarizers on the LCD would look like. I should take an automotive grade display home from work and put it in an oven at 400F for 20minutes and show you what it looks like. Stereodude

I'd guess it's a publicity stunt. I work in the LCD industry and there's about 0 chance the screen would look so good after being in the oven for 20 minutes. The polarizer on the display should have a pile of bubbling and other things wrong with it. Automotive grade LCDs have a critical...

Considering they're the same machines that seems kinda odd. Stereodude

Someting that runs the rest of the x86 software library? :mrgrn: Sterodude ps. get a Dell

Palm OS here. Stereodude

Mercutio, I'll be more than happy to let you pay my taxes so you can feel good about doing extra civic duty. :mrgrn: I'm all for getting rid of all the tax loopholes, but lower taxes first. 15% flat tax with no loopholes. You only pay taxes on the money when you make it and they leave you...

Sure it's a fair comparison. The LG wasn't $200 when I bought it and it was top rated by several places. I've compared my 20" LCD to a 21" Flat CRT and the LCD stomps all over it. My comparison doesn't mention anything about the size. I'm talking about sharpness and brightness. Those aren't...

Mubs, Any good video card will allow you to do the scaling either in the video card, or you have the option of letting the LCD panel do it for you. You're right, for text it doesn't look that good, but for games/video and similar stuff it's pretty subtle and not that noticable. Once the...

It was the best rated 19" displays (price independent) by PC Magazine a few years back. Stereodude

The LCD is sharper and brighter. The model I have cost $800 shipped and it's got some pretty nice tricks like PiP with the S-video and composite input. A LCD may lack in contrast ratio (depending how you measure it) and absolute black level (again depending how you measure it), but what else...

I tossed my LG Studioworks 995e (19" [18" vis]) for a 20" Dell 1600x1200 LCD. The improvement is incredible. Via DVI It's so sharp and the brightness is excellent. My only grip is that the black aren't quite deep enough for watching DVDs on it, or TV, but for graphics and video work it's...

I can't get the webpage to load because of my tinfoil beanie hat. What's it say? Stereodude

I got one of the full loaded ones with Firewire, USB 2, SATA, ATA133, 5.1 sound, etc, etc, etc. Really nice, board, but not what I'd called low end. Stereodude

I probably should point out that I've had good luck with rebates in general. I know there are some people who swear up and down that they never get any rebates and I don't understand how that happens unless they have illegible handwriting. Stereodude

I'm not a big fan or rebates myself. They rely on the rebate to get you to buy the item, then they have a really short window to send it in and rely on the fact that most people won't send it in. Stereodude

CompUSA has a sale from 12/22 to 12/24 on the WD2000JB for $219 after rebate (+tax) and the WD1800JB for $189 after rebate (+tax). It looks like the WD2000JB is sold out online, but I got one today in store. The WD1800JB is still shown in stock online. There were quite a few of both in...

Dell Small Business has the Dell 2000FP 20" LCD Monitor for $999 - auto 20% off - 5% coupon code 72CAD81454CE = $759 + tax w/ free shipping! Ends today (12/11/02). I ordered mine earlier today. I got out for just over $800 after tax. Stereodude
