This is my new build hardware:
2 x ($7.99) LOGISYS 120MM4LED CASE FAN CF120BL - Retail $15.98
1 x ($64.99) HD 750G|SAMG 7K 32M SATA2 HD753LJ % - OEM $64.99
1 x ($54.99) PSU ROSEWILL|RG630-2 630W RT - Retail $54.99
2 x ($70.99) MEM 2Gx2|GSK F3-10600CL9D-4GBNT R - Retail $141.98
1 x ($114.99) MB ASROCK|P55 PRO RT - Retail $114.99
1 x ($144.99) VGA XFX|HD-487A-ZWFC HD4870 1G RT - Retail $144.99
1 x ($30.99) DVD BURN SONY-NEC|AD-7241S-0B % - OEM $30.99
I actually switched the PSU, but I don't think it's relevant.
I installed windows 7 64 bit RTM last night and have a couple of issues...
1) I have a 1920x1200 monitor. When I run in 1920x1200, the fonts all look horrible. The system fonts and the fonts in office, notepad, etc... all look bad. Images look fine. I can play games and they look fine. The fonts look like they have kind of a rainbow effect in addition to looking like they're blown up from a small bitmap. 1920x1200 is what windows recommends I run. I went to the ATI site and downloaded the latest windows 7 64 bit software.
If I switch to 1920x1080, everything looks perfect, but I have black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. It looks like it's running in 1920x1200, but with the bars. Anyone know how I can get a real 1920x1200 usable system?
2) When I go to Computer->System Properties and look at Installed Memory (RAM) it states 8.00 GB (3.18 GB Usable). I have 8 GB installed and 8 GB shows up in the bios.
If I go to task manager and click on Performance and then Click on Resource Monitor, It maps my memory and has Hardware Reserved set to 4937 MB. Is this normal?
Any help is appreciated.
