http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=21996 Either way it's not looking great for the 40% larger GF100 in pricing. They need some magical result or move up to 45nm or down to 28nm and reduce to get costs down, the problem is the chip is so large compered to the avg size silicon size slab it's hard to make which is the main reason for the set backs. | ||

edit: mahnini 5850 is for when I add extra monitors. I'm not going to buy everything in one piece because my 1.5k budget doesn't cover it :D I don't need that fancy TN shit or whatever. It's not like I'm trying to do graphic editing or something D: | ||

is what I'm looking at. The 1920x1200s on Newegg are all pretty expensive ;_; | ||

Here are some pics: http://picasaweb.google.com/don.scott/Ludicrous# I don't think there are like any applications that could possible make use of double xeon processors other than things like server applications. Also, now that the gtx295 is "last gen" (even with the physX card built in) do you plan on upgrading? Also why all the crappy overpriced intel parts? (And by that i mean the motherboard and coolers) | ||

mmm i don't think it is really true anymore. The last generations of flat screens are REALLY good. I mean even if the best TN have still shitty angles they are now as fast than the CRT, fairly cheap and with decent colours. But if you take a professional IPS or PVA screen it is just better than your old CRT. I mean they are at least as good for angles / colours and are clearly better when it comes down to power consumption, weight or look. So i don't think it is true anymore. However the really good PVA and IPS are still quite expensive. But good CRT were too  | ||

I just think that the more expensive samsung are better ( mostly for default colours ) Honestly i think they would be a good choice for Frag if he really doesn't want to spend more money than his budget but still get a screen > 19" with good latency. edit: sry if my previous post seemed ( ? ) agressive. That was probably a better pick for Frag indeed. However for someone who has more money or value more his screen than his proc i think a samsung would be a better choice. | ||

If you watch alot of movies and crap on your seen i'd say a high quality IPS screen would be great but if you just want to game a lower quality TN monitor with low responce and decient resolution and size would be fine too. Personally i'm rocking a 28" HannzG monitor i picked up for 240 awhile back 1920x1200 along with a cheap 100 dollar 1440x900 i got when my old viewsonic graphic series screen died. although i don't use it much for gaming as productivity. I just like that i could push that 28" monitor way back on my desk and still see everything pretty dam well. http://www.newegg.com/Product/NewProduct.aspx?Item=N82E16824254043&cm_re=hanns_G-_-24-254-043-_-Product | ||
