I have done that with audio -but, no, you're right- video in itself, nearer for professional levels, isn't something I should care to take seriously. Thanks. I hope I would never need to care about colors. Beyond either present monitor breaking, when, of course, I'd think enough to factor colors for a median value, broadly in LEDs presently replacing yesterday's LCD technology, where interest/cost just might be indicative of satisfaction for purchasing on the brandname/model as a reputation suited to general acceptance. Sounds nice in theory anyway, only neither would seem quite to work out that way when they do break, nor that I could consider actually stocking a new LED in my closet for potential breakage. (Saw a 32" Samsung LED "thin screen" this past week, that looked interesting, on a $200US sale price.) |

Tried screwing with all the BIOS settings, removing the DVD's PWR/cable connections - still getting a boot delay, no matter what. I could live with it, I suppose, although I really don't like enjoy watching that sort of crap going on. |

Paul Yea, this Intel P4 2.6Ghz dually, I was mentioning before, that, as it is, apparently knocks down Monitor1/VGA/15-pin connector to only 640x480 (due to my decrepit XP install);- I'd need to dig out a clean XP binary image, for testing, that's not all mucked up. I got a hunch that ATI 5450 will take to an all-Intel chipset Gigabtye (once disabling the MB's onboard video Intel G41 Express Chipset) - with none of that pre-BIOS cycling stuff. Kinda strange, but these are the typical reason why I've always said - No Two Computers are the same, they all got "personalities." And, that AMD with the cycle problems was really getting to the point of stuffed w/ gear to beyond a comfort zone (3 HDs - 3T+ and the DVD in a "tight" mid-tower form factor. |

Personally though I know better, already having had it up on a optimum system install, so there's really no genuine reason for dealing with them, apart from the usual ball of hair-pulling intangibles not present on a fresh operational install -- far be that from anything I intend. Hey, maybe I just like the way old operating system works. And, if half HTML5 browser metadata calls are reporting back with XP, old isn't half then as much theoretically as technologically wrong. Right? |
