Amen to that. To bad newegg had to ship my stuff separate.
Still waiting on my new case. So how do i get better resolution
coming out of my 5200. Right now i beleive it's at
1024x768. How would i go about outputting 1920x1080 to my
tv? Also, would a higher resolution make those artifacts worse or
better? If worse would going to 800x600 be better? And i'm
thinking about picking up that 6 dollar cable that's rgb to component
and trying it out in the bedroom. Hope it works. And 67",
nice, only 52" here.<br>
