22" Monitor & M/b for OC - 20k

ok so it means that when i will use the hdmi cable with my pc i will have to connect my speaker wire with green port to the audio out port right ?????

btw my mobo has hdmi port - thats good

and whats the use of audio in port ????
 
i tried with a mic just now, it didnt work, i think its for mp3 players, you can connect them & listen thru the DELL Sound Bar (not included). :)
 
Hey Haddock!

I want to buy same monitor but I have few doubts...

Is it a good lcd for graphics use? (Photoshop, 3dsmax)

How about viewing angles?

Thanks

Ajay
 
hey haddock i have connected my speakers to the audio out port to dell st2210

but my speakers are not working :(

oops my bad

i dont have hdmi cable

and i forgot that silly thing

dint understood first,but now i got it
 
hey guys, another doubt.

My Intel DG965WH has one x16 PCI-e v1, will MSI 5770 graphics card work on it?
I'm thinking of getting this MSI board- TheITWares -MSI P43-C51, Intel P43 Chipset, ATX, LGA 775, DDR3, Motherboard - TheITWares its DDR3 m/b tho.
as i'm planning to buy a 2GB DDR2 XMS2 (Rs.2.9k), i think i'd rather buy the DDR3 RAM :D

but in some random google search, few people were saying MSI mb are rubbish compared to gigabyte.

is that true?

btw, for a 4-4.5k budget, which m/b (ATX form factor) should i go for, ofcourse to OC my e4500 (stock fsb=800) :D
 
got quote from Aashirvad computers (again :D)

Should i go ahead & purchase this setup (2GB)?
 
Intel Northbridge for LGA 775
The last mainstream and high-end chipsets to include a memory controller all support Intel’s declining LGA 775 platform. A few of Intel’s northbridge options include:

  • P45 Express, the most recent mainstream LGA 775 chipset for discrete graphics cards, was also Intel’s first mainstream part to support splitting its 16 PCIe 2.0 lanes across two cards at x8 transfers if desired. The chipset officially supports CPU bus speeds of 200, 266, and 333 MHz at a quad-data rate, labeled FSB-800, FSB-1066, and FSB-1333, though it contained all the proper chipset and memory ratios for stable use at FSB-1600. DDR2-800 and DDR3-1066 are officially supported, although additional memory multipliers allow unsanctioned use of memory data rates up to the chosen FSB data rate.
  • P43 Express limits the northbridge PCIe 2.0 controller to a single card.
  • G45 Express adds Intel’s GMA X4500HD graphics engine to the list of P45 Express features.
  • G43 Express removes HD video acceleration from the G45’s feature set.
  • G41 Express reduces maximum supported memory from 16 to 8GB and demotes the PCIe controller mode from revision 2.0 (5.0GT/s) to revision 1.1 (2.5GT/s).
  • Q45 Express adds Intel vPro Technology to the list of G43 features for easier administration in large office environments.
  • Q43 Express provides G45 features to the business market.
  • X48 Express, a rebadged version of the X38 Express that was validated by Intel to support FSB-1600, is functionally identical to the earlier part. Few DDR2 motherboards exist for the X48 Express, partly because of a myth that the chipset supports only DDR3, discouraging buyers from seeking out DDR2 motherboard models. As part of the FSB-1600 validation, DDR3-1600 was added to its list of supported memory types.
  • X38 Express features official support for FSB-800, FSB-1066, and FSB-1333, but also contains the proper chipset and memory ratios for FSB-1600, which had not yet been validated at the time of its release. As such, its official memory support is also limited to DDR3-1333, although users who chose to ignore its lack of FSB-1600 validation also found DDR3-1600 functionality. A total of 32 PCIe 2.0 lanes support up to four graphics cards in x16 or x8 modes, depending on how many slots are configured for use. Fewer DDR3 models exist than DDR2, partly because of a popular myth among buyers that X38 was a DDR2-only chipset.
  • P35 Express supports FSB-800, FSB-1066, and FSB-1333, along with DDR2-667, DDR2-800, and DDR3-1066 memory. Additional settings on some motherboards make higher memory data rates available at up to FSB data rates. A single graphics card is supported at a PCIe 1.1 transfer rate across 16 lanes, although some motherboards add support for a second x16 graphics card via four lanes from the southbridge.
  • G35 Express adds Intel’s GMA X3500 graphics engine and removes DDR3 capability compared to the P35 Express. The relative weakness of its integrated graphics best suits light tasks, such as Internet browsing, standard-definition DVD viewing, and office applications.
  • G33 Express features a reduced-performance GMA X3100 graphics engine, which is close enough to the X3500 to perform similar tasks.
  • G31 Express reduces DRAM capacity to 4GB, compared to 8GB for the G33 and G35, and reduces graphics features slightly.
Intel Southbridge for LGA 775
Southbridge compatibility for LGA 775 northbridge components is typically limited by generation.

  • ICH10R supports 12 USB 2.0 ports, six PCIe 1.1 lanes, a dedicated pathway for Intel’s gigabit Ethernet MAC, integrated HD audio, six SATA 3.0 Gb/s ports, AHCI, and RAID modes 0, 1, 5, and 10. It mates with Intel 4-series chipsets (P45, G43, etc.), except for the G41 and X48.
  • ICH10 removes software RAID modes from ICH10R.
  • ICH9R has the features listed above for the ICH10R, but mates with Intel’s 3-series (X38, P35, etc.) chipsets, in addition to the X48 Express, but excluding the G35 Express.
  • ICH9 removes software RAID modes from ICH9R.
  • ICH8R was developed for Intel’s 965-series chipsets, but carried over into the G35 Express. Its features are similar to those listed for the ICH10R, but with two fewer USB 2.0 ports (10 total).
  • ICH8 removes software RAID modes from ICH8R
  • ICH7 mates with the G31 northbridge and is limited to six USB 2.0 ports, four PCIe 1.1 lanes, a 10/100 network MAC, and four SATA 3.0 Gb/s ports. It also supports two Ultra ATA 100 drives, although Intel doesn't seem to publicly document this feature

Choosing The Right Chipset : Best Of Tom

awesome :D
MSI P45 it is.
 
Well, probably not as these board (C43, C45) are infamous of not going 1 point above rated FSB, i.e. 400, considering your processor has 11 multiplier you may easily hit 4 Ghz with any g31/P43 board so why wasting money in these.

But If still you want to go for P45, get a gigabyte one.(How come Amien not here :), got all this stuff from him ).
 
you've confused me totally now :D

my budget for mb is 4-4.5k max (i've fixed gfx=msi5770 -9k. drr2/3 ram- 2.8k).

this MSI is ATX, has pci-e v2.0 & OC switch too :D

saw gigabyte models in this budget range but reviews were negative, people saying its bad OC'r.
& all gigabyte model are DDR2 in this range :(
 
I ended up buying EP45-UD3R as UD3L is not in stock and my budget was 3K Max :), Even I was ready to go for the MSI board but found online that it can not go over 400 and my proccy only has a multiplier of 8. You may go with it but there are no views abt that +ive or -ive. My board now can easily touch 420-430 on every thing at stock and I may drop a quad in future as well.

Additionally if I am right you'll not be able to reap the benifit of DDR3 Ram with this processor, nothing technical I read though but I believe it atleast need a i3 for it.(kindly correct me guys if I am wrong)
