    Simulating High-res on HP 32" high-def LCD

    I figured out the ATI catalyst software, I can run the 1080p resolution of 1900x1080. It looks like crap though. 1360x768 actually looks quite beautiful. I was just hooking it up improperly before.

    Simulating High-res on HP 32" high-def LCD

    I have a DVI to HDMI connector that I run to my brand new HP 32" television. Problem is, as a monitor it runs at a very low resolution. I want to send a high resolution image to the television, how might I go about that. I've been messing with the ATI catalyst control center, and I have a...

    What to go with this system?

    You know far too much! Thank you again. Would it be more advantageous to wait for the quadcore line to release? It seems there's some latency issues that occur with running two sockets. But, on the Q6700 it seems the fact that all four cores share the same bus causes a bottleneck effect...

    Running 2 PSUs?

    Thanks, I'll take a good look at those PSU's. I think You're right about the two PSU modification, I would have to turn one upside down, and even then cooling would be an issue. Thanks again.

    Running 2 PSUs?

    I want the ultimate computer, the Q6700 is a great processor...for single threaded applications, but that's not what is starting to come out. Plus all 4 cores share the same bus and that becomes a bottleneck when you're running eve in the background as you play with 3ds max and various other...

    Running 2 PSUs?

    would have loved to, but there wasn't enough room for the motherboard I'm getting: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131146

    Running 2 PSUs?

    I'd heard that running two PSU's was more stable... not too mention more affordable. The silverstone 1000 watt modular does look rather nice however. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16817256020

    Running 2 PSUs?

    I need around a thousand watts for my upcoming system. Here is my case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811163068 How do I know which PSUs will fit in there with there twin brother (two identical PSUs). Apparently some PSUs are larger than others, even though they...

    What to go with this system?

    I was unaware that I could leave one of the sockets empty?! If so then perhaps I'll just run one initially and see how it handles it.

    What to go with this system?

    I just purchased a full tower in order to accommodate the large motherboard (didn't buy at newegg, found cheaper at casemod): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811163068 The case supports two powersupplies, would that be more stable then one rather expensive...

    How do I stay quiet?

    I want to get the new asus motherboard to run the QuadFX configuration from AMD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131146 I can't seem to find much in the way of compatibility for aftermarket cooling. I want to stay as quiet as possible, but I don't want any...

    What to go with this system?

    Still a little confused... I want to extend my windows desktop onto the second screen. Will probably be running multiple applications at once, but usually just visual studios and/or flash with a movie or WOW on the other screen. I was just going to start with this, and if necessary I'll add a...

    What to go with this system?

    OK it's making more sense now. I'm not going to overclock the GPU's just the CPU. I'm going to go with a 700w modular powersupply. Case... something big with mucho fans. Now, for SLI... With two monitors, would it be more advantages two run each video card seperately to each screen, or...

    What to go with this system?

    Thanks for the links...how much power do you think I would need with two 8800's and a watercooled system. Is a watercooled system necessary and is it quieter?

    What to go with this system?

    These are the parts I have selected for the system so far. The only things I'm really kind of set on are the motherboard and CPUs. I know nothing of PSUs, cases, and especially cooling systems. Motherboard- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813131146 CPU x2...

    Dream Machine: suggestions?

    if you want your operating system to run extremely fast!, you could try the "gigabyte iram". It's a solid state hard drive which is supported by 4 gigs of affordable 184-pin desktop memory. A small battery holds the data in there when you turn the computer off (enough batter life for years)...

    No, you've been a big help. Thank you for your time "midian".

    Designing the ultimate machine!

    WOW... I'll have to look over my options a lot more. I won't have all of the money until mid July anyways. How much power do you think I would need for the AMD 4x4 config... I noticed you had 600 something watts for one quad core and a nice vid.
