Dual Monitor
Technology
Few PC users have ever experienced the huge productivity boost that comes
from using multiple monitors on the same PC. Ironically, many of
today's PC have the capability already installed, and Windows (since 2000)
natively supports dual monitors. Configuring dual monitors is so easy: just use
the second video port (if there are two separate ports installed), or add a
second video card or better yet, a video card that has dual DVI ports.
Then plug in your second monitor, change a couple of simple Windows settings,
and you have double the Windows Desktop. This lets you have your
spreadsheet and email visible at the same time, or PowerPoint and Photoshop.
The combinations are endless. And since most of the overhead is
handled by the video card, there is little significant impact (if any) on
system performance. Dual Monitors is one of the simplest, yet most
amazing productivity boosters you can add to your PC! Optionally, you can use a dual monitor stand and recover your workspace in the process!

What is UXGA?
UXGA (Ultra Extended Graphics Array) is a display mode in
which the resolution is 1600 pixels horizontally by 1200 pixels vertically
(1600 x 1200). This amounts to a total of 1,920,000 pixels on the screen.
A UXGA display might be preferred by computer users who want or need fine
detail. UXGA displays also allow the user to specifiy up to four 800 x 600-pixel
images at a time, with reasonable detail in each. An example of such an
application is the reception of a television (TV) program while browsing
the Web, and at the same time working in a word processor and a vector graphics
program. Scientists and engineers can make use of the high resolution and
large screen size when working with computer-aided graphics (CAD) programs,
especially three-dimensional (3D) rendering.
A UXGA display provides 6.25 times as many pixels as a 640 x 480 display,
four times as many pixels as an 800 x 600 display, and approximately 2.44
times as many pixels as a 1024 x 768 display. Modest-sized liquid crystal
display (LCD) panels with the UXGA specification offer a level of detail
comparable to print on paper. The main disadvantage of this type of display
is the high cost compared with displays having less resolution. |

PCI
Express - Delivering Dramatically Improved Graphics
Doubling the bandwidth of the AGP 8X graphics bus, the new PCI Express represents
the most profound change to desktop architecture in nearly a decade. PCI
Express replaces AGP, allowing much larger amounts of data to move between
the graphics card and the CPU, and will soon replace PCI expansion slots
as well. The PCI standard allows for a 32-bit bus with a maximum throughput
of 133MB/s. By contrast, PCI Express will run at 2.5GHz. PCI Express is
a two-way serial connection that carries data in packets along two pairs
of point-to-point data lines, compared to the single parallel data bus of
traditional PCI. Gamers will benefit from an incredible upgrade in video
quality with PCI Express, because it will allow for more powerful video
cards, inspiring developers to create more realistic environments that will
make games come alive with astonishingly lifelike colors and images. Video
enthusiasts will also benefit because PCI Express will accommodate higher-quality
video throughput (amount of data you can send per second). As network television
moves over to HDTV broadcasts, PCI Express positions the PC platform for
integration into the living room, while also allowing for HD video editing
and other bandwidth-intensive tasks. PCI Express is compatible with existing
PCI drivers and software operating systems and is designed to co-exist with
current PCI hardware. |
LCD Monitors - The Buying Explosion Continues
LCD monitors have revolutionized the computer industry. In fact, in this age of miniaturized productivity, the compact, ultra-slim LCD monitors are practically the industry standard. If you want style, grace, portability and spectacular image quality, you’ll get it all with an LCD monitor. And the attractive, thin-bezel design has captured the imagination of everyone who values style and substance. Consequently, nearly everyone is abandoning their CRT monitors and racing to buy LCD PC monitors - and prices are dropping fast.
Bigger is Better
Discerning desktop PC users who are looking for LCD monitors generally prefer a bigger canvas. Nonetheless, a high quality 19-inch LCD monitor makes an excellent primary monitor if budgetary concerns are your primary motivators. However, the difference in price between a 19-inch and 22-inch LCD monitor is minimal, so you will see a much better visual landscape with a larger LCD monitor. Both 19-inch and 22-inch LCD monitors usually offer 1280 x 1024 resolutions and higher, which enables you to see slightly larger, easier-to-read images on your new flat panel LCD.

Video Card Designs
Today's high performance video cards
enable amazing graphics, and frequently come emblazoned with high-impact
graphics, or in brilliant colors. These help to enhance the appeal of
the card. However, from time to time, manufacturers do change these
designs and colors, but this has no effect on the features, specifications,
or performance of the specific video card model, and will usually retain the
same manufacturer's model and part number. The images displayed for a
video card are based upon the sample provided by the manufacturer, and the
specific visual design you receive may vary. So remember, while the
card may look cool, it's the specs that matter! |

Will Your
Motherboard Support the Video Card You're Purchasing? Here's the Answer...
Before you
buy - make sure your motherboard is compatible with this video card. For
example, PCI Express video cards won't work with motherboards designed
only for AGP or PCI video cards, and vice versa. Please read the specifications
carefully or call us for expert advice.
Close-Up:
PCI, AGP, and PCI-E (PCI Express)
Check
your motherboard and make sure you are purchasing the correct cardbus
type.
There are 3 types of cardbus slots currently available:
PCI, AGP, and PCI Express (PCIe 2.0 is compatible with PCIe slot)
PCI
- The most widely used I/O bus, it provides a shared data path between
the CPU and peripheral controllers, such as network, display, SCSI and
RAID cards. Though limited in terms of performance, they are considered
the best value when you upgrade your video capabilities on a PC. The PCI
interface can be found and used in nearly any motherboard.

AGP
- The AGP slot is next in line of higher graphic performance. It was designed
especially for the throughput demands of 3-D graphics. It offers up to
8x improvement over a PCI card, is 32 bits wide and runs at 66 MHz. It
provides a direct connection between the card and memory, and only one
AGP slot is on the motherboard. The motherboard must be equipped with
an AGP bus slot for an AGP card to be compatible.(AGP 1x provided a data
transfer rate of 264 Mbytes/sec. AGP 2x is 528 Mbytes/sec. AGP 4x is 1
Gbyte/sec. AGP 8x is 2 Gbytes/sec.)

PCI
Express - PCI Express is the newest technology that
is superior to both PCI and AGP, in terms of graphic performance. It offers
performance as much as 4x faster than the fastest AGP 8X slot. PCI Express
connections can support fast data transfer rates, which can be used to
connect high-speed devices such as high-end video cards. The slots come
in different variations and speeds, such as x1, x4, x8, and x16. Presently,
most high-end motherboards meant for design, video production, or gaming
come with PCI express slots. To use a PCI Express card, your computer
must have at least one available PCI Express slot.
