I've got a frosted glass desk (similar setup to FatCat's - there's a pic somewhere back in this thread:P) and it works real well. Hard to see when it's dirty and washes off real well. Definitely the best desk I've used out of about 4 in my life. As long as you don't have big CRTs I'd heartily recommend one to anyone!

Thanks. I use 2 video cards. Both are GeForce FX5200's. One AGP, which one monitor is plugged into, and the second has the other two plugged in, which is PCI. The whole setup is analogue. I'd say if your going to get any other LCD's go straight for BenQ. BenQ is the company that manufactures dell LCD's.

I don't get good performance on games, because the card I use for games sucks. I'm going to be upgrading it to a 6800 ultra at the end of this month.

Oh okay,

So all i have to do is a buy a pci graphics card? good. Thanks for your help.

IK, what I was talking about is how you wasted the money on those monitors when you could have saved a fortune. I NEVER recommended actually getting anything. I just suggested that IF you got something, DO NOT WASTE THE MONEY ON DELL. ahem, ok?

I am trying to find a desk that will fit both of my CRT monitors without breaking.  My current desk bows in the middle like WhizzKid's since it is made of cheap compressed wood(Nothing against your desk WhizzKid).  I was thinking of getting 2 IKEA Jerkers and making a setup like the guy a few pages back had.  Anybody have any suggestions?  I was wanting to spend less than $500 if possible.

LOL. My desk doesn't bow in the middle, it has a curved front. It is support at the bottom by two metal beams.

Sorry to suggest that. I have a slightly larger desk and 2 large 21" CRTs that put a lot of stress on the wood. Believe me, if that was a bow in your desk mine is much worse. Some days I'm afraid to put my legs under the desk for fear that they might get crushed. I guess that's the price I pay for a cheap desk and large monitors.

grrr... cant ppl stop f***ing with the page layouts by posting large images in their posts :angry:

just use the attachment system. 250k is easily enough for 3x 1024*768 images. just save them to 70% quality and use the attachment system which resizes them nicely!

funcs are kinda un-stylish. however, lotsa the USA cal-i teams swear by them, so long as they are sprayed with a silicon spray. but us euros prefer steelpads understated styling :p

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
