I have the 5200 vid card in all my computers. If you are not playing games, thats all you need. And to be frank, It does a good job at a lot games. I have the ultra BFG 6800, But my lcd monitor only runs at 1024x768 top. Could this limitation strain my GPU?

Hmm, I can import that monitor for just under £300 if I wish, but, HDTV or not that screen won't be HDCP Compliant. You could argue that that's a big deal, but since less than 1% of all screens will be by the time High Def Video comes out, everybody will be looking at workarounds.
Oh and those Viewsonics at your work will be LCDs not LEDs. That's a future technology that we've yet to see implemented, but it looks promising!

sammorris,
I don't even know what those letters mean but according to the manual the Sceptre is 480i/480p/720i/720p/1080i/1080p. What that all means I haven't a clue. It's also HD mode ready. The real surprise is that all you need is the digital cable (came with the monitor) and hook it up. From what I have read some monitors are more HD ready than others. I was never very interested in HDTV to start with so I've never bothered to find out. I watch so little TV (maybe 2 hrs a week at the most) unless it's Nascar or open wheel racing. F/1 is my favorite. That should look great on this screen I don't watch the news, weather or much of anything. If I want to know what the weather is like, I look out the window! I have a 27" flatscreen JVC but the little I use it, it should wear out in about somewhere around 2040.
I watch a lot of DVDs on the computer as I can't get the same picture quality on any TV except maybe Plasma. And their lifespan is far too short for the money you have to spend. They are getting better but they still are way short of the life of a regular CRT set

HD ready differs from HDCP. HDTVs, even ones that arent HD ready will accept HD signals from things such as Sky+ Boxes, but to play back HD /Bluray DVDs you'll need a copyright protection valid monitor, to try and prevent people using software or video capture cards to clone movies. (it'll never work but thats beside the point).
480i - Normal TV resolution, interlaced (30fps alternate lines)
480p - Normal TV resolution, Progressive (60fps)
720i - High resolution 1280x720, interlaced (30fps alternate lines)
720p - High resolution 1280x720, Progressive (60fps)
1080i - Very High resolution, 1920x1080, Interlaced
1080p - Very High resolution, 1920x1080, Progressive
That monitor will accept HD signals on the standard cable as it's a video signal just like any other travelling along DVI.

sammorris,
Thanks for the input! It just makes me admire what Sceptre gives you right out of the box. Some monitors that are HD mode ready require additional hardware to do HD.
By the way. I bought Bicentenial Man yesterday an as is my habit, I copied it and put the original away. This is a Columbia/Sony DVD. I had to run it through DVD Fab Decryptor first and then make a copy from that. It took almost 2 hours for Decryptor to un-encrypt it! That is rediculous! It's my DVD. I paid for it and if I want, I will copy it for my own use. Screw Sony!!!

aabbccdd,
Should, when it comes to $ony is a very different term. Anytime $ony gets involved with any sort of copy protection you can be sure that "should" won't apply. I can copy most DVDs with DVD Shrink in 12-15 Min from start to eject. This one had a different copy protection scheme for each file! AnyDVD wouldn't work, it just ran till it hung! Then the task manager tells you "the program is not responding". This is a very large filed DVD with heavy copy protection so even if it had worked properly, it still would have taken more time than average. I also re-authored it to just copy the main title. $ony doesn't like you to do that! Also my success has been very spotty with DVD Clone. I have several other copy programs as well but I prefer RB and DVD Shrink. RB if I have 65 to 70 mins or so and Shrink if I want it in a hurry! The time boils down to how much it needs to de-crypt. Just about anything $ony has their hand in will almost certainly be trouble!

theonejrs ,thats a 1999 release?? it should be a breeze with CloneDVD 2 and AnyDVD ,sometimes the transcoding will hang when using DVD Shrink or DVD Decrypter with AnyDVD . i would really be suprised if it didnt work with CloneDVD 2,also if your using DVD Decrypter with AnyDVD set up dvd decrpter this way
To use DVD Decrypter in conjunction with AnyDVD as stated per Olli ->OF SLYSOFT AND CLONEDVD
Proceed to the DVD Decrypter Opening Page - Tools - Settings
I/O Tab - Click on "Elby CDIO-Elaborate Bytes"
General Tab - un-check "Check For Structure Protection"

aabbccdd,
Thanks for the input. I found out what the problem was. The DVD had a crack in it that I didn't notice. It's quite a tribute to Fab Decrypter that it managed to copy the whole movie. It didn't crack through the film but it stretched it enough to give most copy programs fits. I'll take it back tomorrow and have it replaced.
I discovered it when I ran it through RB. Usually I run it through Fab Decrypter first and make ISO files, but since I already ran it through once I just ran RB on the files. Then I realized that the files I had already were not ISO files so I ran the original through again. When it started acting up I took a better look at the disk and discovered the crack.
Once again, thanks for your help.

Lol, you got off likely, a friend of mine ran a CD with a hairline crack in a 54x CD-ROM drive. The CD-ROM drive and the disc are now history.

Absolutly the best copy program is DVD X COPY
I imagine you will catch a lot of flack from this forum for that statement!
I have 2 versions of DVD X-Copy. Gold and Platinum. For a straight up copy it's ok but it doesn't compress dual density DVDs down to 1 4.7 DVD disk! Nero does a good job as well but with the same problem.

I'm sorry, I missed this question. Must have not given me an update. No it won't hurt the GPU. It actually runs cooler at lower resolutions. The max resolution for your 6800 is way higher than 1024x768 so right now it's loafing. Sorry about the delay in answering. Then again I just might have been caught up in aabbccdd's Sig!!!!! Nice, very nice!!!!!
