Would love to but that would blow my budget into pieces!

1137945 2010-09-18 01:34:00 Just confirmed with a retailer that the VS vx245owm will arrive here in NZ in mid October.

Should I wait for it or should I get the VX2433?

1137946 2010-09-18 01:38:00 I do notice that VX2450 hasn't got HDMI; what does it do, it's just the audio input, right?

Its video and audio. So you wont have to connect audio from the case to it as well. Altho, sometimes I use both HDMI and audio anyway. Since this monitor has audio in and out as well

1137947 2010-09-18 07:37:00 I take it that you are going to run a 64 bit O/S if Windows? Snorkbox (15764)
1137948 2010-09-18 09:04:00 I take it that you are going to run a 64 bit O/S if Windows?

Of course, it will be Win 7 Home Premium x64.

1137949 2010-09-18 09:24:00 I only asked as 32 bit will not use or see all the RAM and it was not mentioned. :-) Snorkbox (15764)
1137950 2010-09-18 10:22:00 Difference between the overclocked 5850 and stock 5850 isn't much. Probably a few FPS during gaming, often not appreciable enough to justify the premium you'd pay for them to factory overclock it for you. qazwsxokmijn (102)
1137951 2010-09-18 11:22:00 Is this Cosair 650W PSU good enough to handle all the hardware? bk T (215)
1137952 2010-09-18 12:00:00 Just to answer the HDMI question, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Input) runs you audio and HD video in one handy dandy HD cable The Error Guy (14052)
1137953 2010-09-18 12:12:00 ... But I'd change the GPU to Gigabyte or ASUS.

You strongly recommend Gigabyte or Asus GPUs, is it because they have lower failure rate (from your experience) or any other special reasons that you would like share with us (if you don't mind)? :thanks
