Ya, if I had the room for it, I'd have one pC, but have two setups. ONe with a multimedia keyboard, MX1000 mouse, and nice 19 inch LCD, for programming, web surfing, and other desktop applications. Then another setup hooked up to the computer with the same mouse, but the Saitek gaming keyboard, and a 20 inch CRT just for gaming. It would have its problems but it coudl be done.


Anyways, I put VSync on my video card on. I ran 3dmark03, it went from over 10,000 to around 6000. Big difference, anyways I'll leave it as application controlled (even with a lower frame rate, its better than all that tearing)

I'm also going to try it on my TV with my S-Video out, although I'm not counting on this as a solution since I don't think it gives very good picture. But, its worth a try
