I had problems when coming out of full screen video and when playing OpenGL games, so I don't use it at the moment. Will be interesting to see what comes out of the re-merging of Beryl and Compiz.

For a few more quid you could go 22" Widescreen, I got this one the other day: http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/124438 - £165.87 inc VAT

My brother recently bought one for £60 with 8 games, new.

I've read that the 8600 series are not worth buying, which is why I avoided it when i upgraded my machine recently. This is what the graphics card guide on Overclockers says:

Is the disc clean? No fingerprints or anything on the underside?

I've gone back to my 15" LCD TV, quality isn't the same as a normal TV but better than the 17" LCD Monitor, also means I can plug my digi sender back in and get sky on it :) Still have my 22" Widescreen LCD for my pc ;)

So, is it worth me getting that cable or am I likely to see no difference from the crap my svga box is outputting? I do have an LCD TV that displays just fine, but that's only a 15" and I fancied using my spare 17" LCD monitor instead.

is it? lol Even when I turn it down to 640x480 it's still shite.

It's not HD, it's a iiyama 17" PC screen max res 1024x768 With my SVGA box, playing Colin Mcrae 2005, it looks like it's got a continous heat ripple affect on it :(

Is this what I need to connect a Playstation 2 to a PC LCD monitor? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1m-Premium-VGA-to-RCA-Component-Cable-For-PC-RGB-HDTV_W0QQitemZ170116249778QQihZ007QQcategoryZ32837QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem If so, what would the quality be like? I currently use an SVGA box but the quality...

Thanks :) http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper/details.php?id=1076 Use the drop down menu to find the size you want.

No offence but it looks a bit play school :S Here's my "cool" minimalist non Windows desktop

Is there a website out there that helps you correctly configure a monitor? i.e. brightness, contrast, red, green, blue etc.

In true x-files style, you did repost.... in the past ;)

This is pretty cool :) http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/Animator+vs+Animation+2/

Re one of your previous post - Ubuntu minimum requirements: Toaster Although, it does need to have a defrost option.

What's one of those? We are in 2007 aren't we? ;)

No offence, but if your OS is running too slow for your liking then you either need to change your OS or upgrade your machine. Tweaking settings will provide such minimal results that you probably won't even notice a difference.

Are they region specific like DVD's are?

Thanks for the info, it appears there are no hidden pages :( - just checked with Linksys support. I did try testing from the BT test socket, when I remembered that it was there! I was actually regraded back in February so I guess it's been in sync long enough?

My modem doesn't give me the SNR info, there's no noise on the line during voice calls. Modem: Linksys ADSL2MUE Router: Linksys BEFSR81 I've also tried only using the modem. We have internal extensions, but I unplugged everything and tried direct from the master socket.

Tried one last time to get through to them on the phone and guess what... they need MORE speed test results. I'll try the letter approach now.

Pipex have told me that BT cannot find anything wrong, they were going to send an engineer but it took me a few days to find the time to call them back to arrange a visit and when I called back they said it was too late and the "fault" had been closed! The ip address for the website I've been...

I'm on the verge of just giving up and sitting my contract out. I dread to think how much money and time I've wasted calling them.

If they ask you to login as speedtest@speedtest_domain, then tell them to f**k off as it won't work and they KNOW it won't work - I have it in an email from them when I complained about it lol

I know mate! But it's the only place that Pipex accept results from.

Here's mine: IP profile for your line is - 2000 kbps DSL connection rate: 448 kbps(UP-STREAM) 8128 kbps(DOWN-STREAM) Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 1795 kbps I've given Pipex loads of these test results, but they keep asking for more! I was told that IP Profile has...

I still haven't got my issue resolved and like you I "upgraded". Still on a 2Mb profile when it should be 8Mb. I got told by a nice lady on their support desk the other week that she could not help me because I use Linux, that was after she said "Linux? I've never heard of that..."

MS has been making "noises" for years and are just as likely to fall foul of patents as anyone else. They won't name the patents, won't say in what way they have been infringed and refuse to say how they found out. What does that tell you? ;)
