I went to a Virginia Tech surplus auction and ended up getting a couple monitors. One is a great Gateway VX900/Hitachi CM715 19" monitor and the other is an Apple Studio CRT Monitor which apparently is useless to me because it uses an Analog ADC connection which AFAIK has no workable converter, but I got it for 10 bucks and will probably Ebay it.

Also note the old IBM Model M is back in its rightful place, man I love the buckling springs.

Here are a lot of shots taken from my cell:

It's funny because I am in a dilemma, my LCD which cost almost $300 a year ago is great (unfortunately it has a VGA connection), but the $20 19" Gateway has great image quality, and 1600x1200 at 75Hz is absolutely beautiful. I would dual monitor it up but, I know my dorm next year won't have nearly enough space for that. I may end up using the LCD if only for space concerns :(.

There are adapters for using ADC (both old and new) monitors on PCs (I have one). Anyways, nice Model M. I had one but it broke =(

What I was reading is that the ADC to DVI adapters will not work on this monitor because the Studio CRT monitors used Analog signals as opposed to the Digital signals that a DVI video card would output.

However, there may be ADC to VGA converters, but I haven't seen those.

There was a lot of keyboards at the auction and it contained a Model M, I was very tempted to get it, but decided that one was enough :p.

There are two types of ADC, the old analog kind (rearranged VGA) and the later digital kind (DVI + Firewire or USB or something). There are adapters available for both types.

Ah, thanks, I will look into it if it isn't too expensive I will keep the monitor for something.

You can find that case in black at many computer part resellers, my favorite being www.newegg.com.

    • Close, but it is for any application starting, not just during boot time. In fact, it probably will not improve boot time at all because during a boot, the CPU is already boosting, so a pre-boost wouldn't change anything. I agree that it isn't exciting (especially considering every other OS already does it), but it is a good thing, even if they are just playing catch up.
    • Any so called performance increase will be in milliseconds, which nobody will actually notice in real world usage.
    • All it does is use the CPU more efficiently during boot to speed up boot times. That's it. Yawn....
    • It's not a one or the other kind of thing. Software should run efficiently, and the operating system should appropriately manage the CPU clocks. You could have the best most optimized software on earth, and it will still run faster if the CPU does a better job of boosting as needed. All this is doing is pre-boosting the CPU based on user actions, instead of waiting for the normal detection mechanism to kick in. If the OS knows it is about to need more CPU, why shouldn't it use that knowledge? It's the same idea of downshifting before passing someone, instead of just burying your foot into the peddle and waiting for the transmission to figure out what you want to do.
