I am in need of a monitor to replace my CRT, I have a budget of £300 which is not fixed but I would like to stay reasonably close.

I use my PC for text based programs, coding in visual basic, internet and mail, and a few games.

My graphics card is an ATI HD3650 512Mb Gddr3 AGP, not fantastic but adequate, my PC is likewise a couple of years old but reasonably fast, Lian Li, Athlon dual 64 bit, DDR, winXP and win7.

I think I need 24", 1920 x 1200 (may consider 16:9 rather than 16:10).
Professional looking and reliable monitor with good warranty.
Sharp graphics, no fuzzy text, good colouration.

All suggestions are welcome.

best regards, andy

Ahh, my old PC build.

I ended up getting the 4870x2 and remember having terrible problems with the AMD drivers!

Hi everyone,

I'm building a new gaming machine and i've pretty much got all the specs sorted out except the GFX card.

At the moment the specs are:

Cooler Master Centurion 590
AMD Phenom II X4 955 - Black Edition
Asus M3A32-MVP Deluxe
Corsair XMS2 8GB PC2-6400 800Mhz
OCZ 600W Stealth XStream PSU
500GB HDD
Vista Home Premium x64
24" Iiyama Prolite E2407HDS-B1 (1920x1080)

I'm stuck between 3 graphics cards:

ATI Radeon 4870x2
Geforce GTX285 XXX
2 x Geforce 260 SLI

Now i've read more benchmarks then you can shake a stick at and the 4870x2 seems to come on top pretty much most of the time expcept when put agaisnt the 295 (which i can't afford)

Does anyone have any of the above, and what do you think of it? Which would be best for the 24" Iiyama at 1920x1080?

Thank you

Excuse the advice from a first poster, but you should really be using nTune (from the Nvidia site) to overclock with those versions of the drivers and Vista.

I run Vista 32 Ultimate and can overclock my 7900GT without problems using this method.

Urgh, Vista. That was a low point.

of course bigger people which take up more room should pay more.
its no discrimination i think.
Never sat in a bus and a very obese person sat next to you so you kind of get squished not very comfortable same goes for a plane i have seen obese people on there.


I'm not saying i hate obese people.
charge per space (volume) you take up and not weight :o

My first post ! Since 2003 I have been running my tower with a P4 3.06 HT at its heart. It has never been OCd and has only ever had the stock cooler on. What a workhorse of a CPU. It has outlived two monitors, a motherboard, and a graphics card. Only the WD HD, Soundblaster card, and Thermaltake case have survived as long.

I'm upgrading to an i5 2500K and I'm not sure if I'm ready. It'll be like going from a Mini Metro (Fiat 500 if you're young) to a Porsche.
