to me its a little too "white" if thats the right word. I kinda liked the contrast colors of before. But i always appriciate a change.. nice job keeping the site fresh ca3le!!!
if u want the best possible picture then look no further than the CRT's but the LCD's are coming around now with better response times and better contrast ratios, one example of this is the Dell 2405FPW.
Yes DOD does rock, but anyway i tried the program aswell and it doesnt do anything, another way u can do it is click start,run,type "cmd" without the quotes and in the black box type ping(space) then the website. Thats one way to check ur ping.
looks pretty good, the cpu looks good but the 9700 is a little out dated. depending on wut kind of gaming and tasks u will be doing u might want to think of an upgrade as it will acompany that 3700 nicely.
still dont think its worth it as in a couple months nvidia will lauch the 7900's and in a little over a half a year the real next gen will be out. save ur money and wait. A 7800gt will do u just fine in any game untill then. But then again there are the rich people and the people that like to spend money on computer parts whenever they want.
like i said i wouldnt be set on a concrete answer untill I saw some reall benchies, here are some http://www.hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1028888072&postcount=19
1900XT beats 7800GTX 512mb in all but a couple tests. Just dont think its worth the price tag, I will be waiting for the r600/g80 lineup later this year. Also when the 7900's come out they will put 1900XT to shame and take the crown back, its a rollercoaster!!!
na i wont say anything with confidence untill we see some realy benchies, but i believe the 1900XT will be slightly better than the 7800gtx 512mb. But not much. Only time will tell tho.
