I recently purchased a Reclusa keyboard and installed the keyboard with the latest drivers from razersupport.com (v1.02). The keyboard works fine but as soon as I reboot the PC it won't go past the memtest, I am forced to plug in my old keyboard (PS/2) in and reboot. This then allows Vista to...

Right, i like the look of this because it has HDTV support supposedly. As far as i knew, that meant 720i/p and 1080i/p. Which meant a resolution of either 1280x720 or 1920x1080. This monitor has 1680x1050. My 7950gx2 supposedly has HDCP. If I connect this monitor to my GX2 with the DVI cable...

Buying a laptop that will be my only computer, but will be connected to free-standing monitor at home for photo editing. So, my questions are: 1. What 19" LCT or CRT do people recommend? can't afford high-end stuff (>$500). Have heard good things about Samsung 970p LCD. But have also heard...

Are there any advantages of a 17" LCD vs. a 19" LCD? I will mainly use my computer to watch instructional swimming videos, movies, the internet and Microsoft Office products. I like Samsung's SyncMaster 970P (19") and SyncMaster 173P (17"). Anything better for this
