Just a quick question (or two) Pete. I have been trying to get my head around pixel resolutions/monitor display sizes and how they affect how much you can actually view on screen. Can't really find any explanation on the net for what I need to know. I currently use two Acer AL2416W 24" monitors. These have only got analog inputs - no DVI. I use them at the max res. of 1920x1200 and they have been great for the price. Please tell me if I have got the following correct or not:-
If I was to buy a 28" monitor with the max res. of 1920x1200 then I wouldn't be able view more on the screen than if I bought a 24" monitor with the same max res. of 1920x1200. The 28" monitor would just be able to display the same image as the 24". The 28 would be "blockier" and probably better for viewing at longer distances than the 24".
I want to get one more monitor so that I can view Cubase over my 2 Acer 24" monitors and then view the Sonic Core Xite over the new monitor. I really need quite a bit of screen space for the Xite as I need to view it's mixer and devices (such as it's synths and effects) plus it's routing display where all the Xite's audio and midi connections are made. Ideally I would like to go for something larger than a 24". 28" would be ideal. 30" would be very nice but very expensive. The thing is, all the monitors that I have found that are within my price range have a max. res. of 1900 x 1200.
Cheers Pete.
Nev.

I expect there is some answer to this but I just can't see how I can use this PCIEx1 slot?

Had Cubase5 running with an amount of plugins that would have made my old Dual Core 2.4 struggle and it barely registered 15% on the Cubase CPU Monitor. Plus it seems it can handle loads of PCI cards running off a Magma Chassis with no problem. Not really had a chance to really punish it yet in a "real life" situation.....but I will let you know how it copes as soon as I do (hopefully in th next couple of weeks).
Could you send me a link to the new chipset driver? I have checked the Intel website and been completely confused as to what to download. I found this posted on one of the Intel forums:-
Is there much involved in updating the BIOS?
