Windows Vista OEM

Hey guys, Windows Vista is available as pre-order (might have been released now, I dont know). However you've Vista's going for 400Euro's and Vista's going for about 90. The latter one has OEM in it's name, meaning I won't get a nice box and a handguide, which I don't need anyway. However, I just ca...

Im not sure, but from what I heard 1:1 pixel mapping will only be annoying when you plug in an external source with a lower/other resolution then 1920x1200? Like an XBOX 360, PS 3 etc. Im not sure since I asked this in my own topic, but no one seems to answer that one. From what I understand you can...

You can use aspect scaling to force 1600x1200 (or even lower) and play your games with black bars. I don't see a problem with that. Oh? I didn't know that :P. In that case if I run into problems with 1920x1600 Ill just do the scaling thingy. Still need to update the GPU then, shame to have black ba...

Black isn't even black, more dark green-ish. Colours never have been 100% good according to old reviews. But it wo...
