  • 1. Iiyama HM704UTC Problem
    Hi! I have this pretty old pentium II 350MHz computer(pc100 mainboard ,an S3 Trio3D videocard,some no-name 4GB harddrive and (blushing here) 32 MB of RAM) which was enough for my needs.(Win98) My monitor is a 2 year-old Iiyama HM704UTC. Now recently it has started behaving strangely when booting and shutting down: No Bios check on the screen and no windows flashscreen and the screen stays black.In the beginning ,the desktop would sometimes appear after a long 5-10 minutes,now I have to turn the screen's power switch off and on again once to make my desktop appear.From there on I can work normally. On shutdown no flashscreen and no "it's save now to shut down" message.When I made a warm reboot no 'windows is restarting now' either,the desktop reappeared with or without working the switch. No problems with other screens! Last minute development!I just did another warm reboot....!It came back ,but the whole screen was all shaky and distorted with colour freckles all over and a some chirping high frequency sound!Pushed the power button again,all back to normal! Is this a power problem?Thanks very much for any comment! Al
  • 2. Low End 17" TFT
    Hi I'm looking for a budget 17" TFT monitor for my Son to use in a dual-monitor setup with a Dell D600 laptop. Ideally, I'd like something less than 200UKP. Definitely don't want speakers and there is no need for DVI. Main use will be for desktop applications. I've searched for reviews but can find very little info on low-end monitors. Can anyone direct me to any reviews or info on cheaper monitors or, alternatively, make any suggestions on a product. I've been looking at the LG 1715S based on fair reviews some of their other monitors and the 3 year warrantee. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Regards - Andy
  • 3. Nvidia Ti4200 dual monitors?
    Hey all -- I have a Nvidia Geforce4 Ti4200 that's a couple years old -- it has one analog and one DVI connector on the back. I'd like to run two monitors, and I'm trying to figure out if I need to only get an additional monitor, or if I need a new vid card... so, if I get a DVI monitor, can I hook it up to the currently unused DVI connector and stretch my desktop across two monitors? Thanks! Maynard

Microsoft To License Graphics Technology From Nvidia for Xbox 360's Backwards Compatibility

Microsoft has signed a deal to license Nvidia's graphics technology in order 
to have the Xbox 360 backwards compatible--finally putting to rest the 
question that lingered behind current-gen Xbox users.
The next-gen 360 uses an ATI chipset, whereas the current Xbox uses an 
Nvidia chipset. Since the two companies are rivals in the GPU market, many 
analysts were skeptical that Microsoft would deliver. The company made a 
cryptic announcement at E3, saying the "best-selling" Xbox titles would work 
on the Xbox 360.

Microsoft since then has become more optimistic about backwards 
compatibility, with Microsoft Xbox PR Manager Michael Wolf saying, "our goal 
is to make all Xbox games play on Xbox 360, and at launch we'll have a 
selection of the top selling that will be tested and confirmed to work."
