    Dell to offer 16ms response time 20" LCD (2001FP)

    Both are low, in my opinion, for a $1000.00 + monitor.

    SR has pre-release WD740GD benchmark results

    SATA is relatively new too, and problems with the protocal are bound to exist. Hale Landis writes a bit of interesting information about this new technology on his website here. Granted, he does have a flare for being dramatic, but if you read further on his site, you'll see some documented...

    SR has pre-release WD740GD benchmark results

    I was never really concerned about the size, I actually like the drive at 36GB. But then again, it's because of how I view the drive being used. I would only use it as a boot/os/application drive, not as cumulative storage. I would hook up a pair of larger capacity 7200-rpm SATA drives for...

    Mubs, With my older Gateway2000 Vivitron, the difference at 1024 x 768 is negligible. I cannot say what the difference would be with a good or high-end monitor in comparison to the Radeon family for 2D quality. There are just to many limititions with this not-really-vivid Vivitron...

    Port forwarding/redirection

    Quick question zx, why are you having the router redirect from port 8080 to port 80? Why don't you just leave the router as you normally would and assign each website in IIS to a different port, such as 8080, 8081, etc. and let IIS handle the redirection?

    Dumb Question #1, Re: Laptop Preloaded with XP Home

    It true, that you'll have to disable a few minor apps that load, but that is much easier then trying to find the correct drivers for all of the hardware.

    Dumb Question #1, Re: Laptop Preloaded with XP Home

    I don't know about smoking crack, but I'm for using the restore CD in order to get the appropriate drivers needed to support all of the proprietary hardware on that laptop. Most of those demo apps were separately installed for the demo machine, which should not install during the restore process.
