Holy Fucking Shit !!!!
 

I just burned out my 1/2 gig graphics card so I had to go with the motherboard card ... I don't have a cable for me 16:9 monitor so I am back to using my 4:3

All I can say .... Is HOLY SHIT !!!

I never realized what a difference, not just in the crispness of the colors etc (feel like I'm on a VGA monitor) but also the difference in the way EVERYTHING looks on a 4:3 vs a 16:9 - I have got to buy a cable for my 16:9 again ...

Wonder what kind of effect this has on web design. I know I have to scroll a lot less but being used to the 16:9 I still hate the 4:3 ... FUGLY

P.S. Anyone wanna buy a WII yet ?? lmao !!

were you overclocking the card?

No, I'm an idiot ... I took the hard drive out of my Golden Tee machine to try to see if defragging it fixed the problem the machine was having ... and the hard drive brushed up against my graphics card - static :(

That's what I get for ignoring all the preaching I hear about using my static pad when changing blah blah ... 10 years, first time I burned a componnent like this though w/o static protection ...

Oh yeah - worst part ... the hard drive is recognized but there is some sort of encryption on the damn thing so I can't even so much as explore the thing let alone defrag or copy the image to another fresh drive... Bastards !
