    IBM Says Alliance Set for 28nm

    Upendra09Looks like a scheme from IBM to make people buy their products. They are mainly targeting the computer noobs in the world. Excuse this noob of a question but what is nm (nanometer?)? and what's a node? I hope you're kidding...

    Nvidia Countersues Intel on License Agreement

    deltatuxThis is stupid, and if we learn from history many times before. Any organization or countries who tries to fight two enemies at once, is that they usually fail. Look at Nazi Germany. They were fighting the Russians and the rest of the Allies.So it is stupid for Intel to do this and this...

    HD Monitor - is it necessary?

    I would have a hard time recommending a 24" monitor for you unless you plan to upgrade your video card too. Instead I would suggest a nice 22" monitor with a 1680x1050 resolution. You wouldn't be losing out on a whole lot but you'd make better usage of your video card. Besides, you can pick...

    HD Monitor - is it necessary?

    First, what video card do you currently have or do you plan on getting? Next, there is nothing a 1920x1080 can do that a 1920x1200 can't; it's just how many pixels a monitor can display at a given time. Because of this, most people will recommend the higher resolution because you can pick them...

    HD Monitor - is it necessary?

    What do you mean by HD monitor? If you mean a monitor with a resolution of 1920x1080 then I don't think you could find a 24" with a resolution lower than that. Now if you're talking about other specs on the monitor (response time, contrast ration, etc) I would say that it would be beneficial...

    Driver problems

    Mine did that a couple of times; after you load into your desktop try a simple restart without reinstalling/cleaning anything. Don't know if it will help, if not try the system recovery to see if you can get your old drivers back.

    Samsung or BenQ

    I would suggest going with samsung as they seem to have a better record of reliability. But for your setup i would suggest going with the T220 opposed to the t240. You should be able to make better use of your graphics card and maybe save some money from the 24" model.

    Driver update causes BSOD loop

    So, for some reason I haven't been able to update the drivers for my 4850's since 8.9. Everytime I try it gets right to the end, then throws the system into a BSOD loop. 8.9 has been working well without crashes or anything but I would really like to update. Anyone have any suggestions? Specs...
