INFERNO2000 0 Posted June 21, 2002 Just what it says I'll start out: I'd like to change from my 19" CRT to a 19"(or 20") LCD or dual 15" LCDs Share this post Link to post
Admiral LSD 0 Posted June 21, 2002 For me, it's a toss-up between a new monitor and a new CD-ROM. The monitor wins out slightly because apart from a problem ejecting my CD-ROM still works, my monitor is a 7 year old (my parents got it with their first PC) 14" POS with brightness and convergance issues.

sapiens74 0 Posted June 21, 2002 got everything i want. What I want doesnt exist yet Share this post Link to post
Alien 1 Posted June 21, 2002 There's only 2 things that I really want now - 1 of those 120GB WD Special Edition drives. & a DVD drive - so far the most suiable candidate seems to be a Toshiba 1 that I've seen. However, as much as I would like a DVD drive, I need a lot more HDD room, so having to pick 1 thing then it would be a HDD. Share this post Link to post
JP- 0 Posted June 21, 2002 Personally id love an LCD, a big 1 bit expensive atm though Share this post Link to post

As for wanting something else my system it would be a tie between a DVD burner (I don't like anything I have seen yet) and a new monitor configuration (maybe twin 17"+ LCDs).

I would like a 24" or 28" Plasma. I already have the wireless goody's and a Lazy Boy couch. Maybe in the next 15 days or next month It works fine with a TV but 42" is a bit big even for me? And that Sony plasma is crap on VGA input. I should have bought a Samsung at half the Price. Shame on me, to be so unpatient. Share this post Link to post
clutch 1 Posted June 21, 2002 And what resolution would you get out of that size? I would like 1600x1200, and razor sharp with fine color blending. I don't need anything larger currently, especially if using dual monitors. Share this post Link to post
sapiens74 0 Posted June 21, 2002 Clutch Get the new MAtrox card and go with 3 monitors. Maybe 4 Share this post Link to post
CyberGenX 0 Posted June 21, 2002 I would like 2 80GIG drives on RAID, so Adobe Premiere doesn't f&ckin' stutter on playback! Share this post Link to post
Davros 0 Posted June 21, 2002 I would like a pair of the WD 120GB 8MB buffer HDDs. My current drives are nearly full since I discovered the joys of SVCD. Also, I could use a Pioneer DVD burner, and an ATI All-in-Wonder card. I've got a huge VHS collection that needs to be preserved! Regular CD's would be fine for this, but I still want the DVD burner for other, larger backups, etc. I'll probably wait to get these items when I build a whole new box dedicated to multimedia. The more computers you get, the more you need! Share this post Link to post
Preacher 0 Posted June 21, 2002 Definately "other": I´d rip out that ****ing motherboard of mine, put it on the road, start that nasty ***** of caterpillar and start some heavy freakin' modding. Dammit, I can´t describe how much I hate that bastard! I don´t need a new monitor, my EIZO / Nanao FlexScan works like a charm and has excellent image quality. Makes up for the crappy signals from my GeForce And diskspace neither, 380GB net diskspace is enough for the moment. However, I could use a DVD burner, if only it supported up to DVD-10 dual layer double sided DVDs which work in stand alone DVD movie players. Share this post Link to post

Brian Frank 0 Posted June 22, 2002 The upgrade I want is a faster video card, however, what I need to get is a CD burner as my current one locks up my PC randomly and has done it on another rig. Share this post Link to post

I don't need anything larger currently, especially if using dual monitors. Well TV goes 2048x1536 which is the highest my Geforce 3 can support. So i am guessing monitor will go that much too. Thing is, I don't particularly like 2 Monitors unless i absolutely have to. so idea is to get a biggest screen you can. What is the max res on Geforce 4??? I might get one if it is any higher and the new monitor supports it. Share this post Link to post
INFERNO2000 0 Posted June 22, 2002 Highest I've seen is 2048x1536. but...get dual monitors, and it's 4096x1536 or, 2048x3072. Share this post Link to post

Preacher 0 Posted June 24, 2002 @ Alien No, it´s revision 1.0. But since 1.3 too uses the 686b southbridge, what is won here? Share this post Link to post
Alien 1 Posted June 24, 2002 Quote: @ Alien No, it´s revision 1.0. But since 1.3 too uses the 686b southbridge, what is won here? I dunno what's different between the 2 versions [aside from the 1.3 being able to use Athlon XPs upto 2100 (possibly a 2200 as well, but not sure on that)], but now that I've got my Audigy it's all "smooth sailing" here. No more having to reboot when the sound dies, as it did with my SV2. Ok, so there is 1 teeny weeny issue - occasional skipping whilst playing MP3s with Winamp, but that's it. The last time I rebooted was almost 4 days ago, & that was because I installed something or changed a setting [i forget what]. What problems are you having with your 1.0? <edit> Though for the sake of honesty/accuracy I haven't tried any games with it since I got my Audigy, as I have some other stuff that needs sorting/processing then burning to CD so that I can make some room to install any games. </edit> Share this post Link to post
