PCI-E 2.1 gfx card in a PCI-E 1.1 mobo

firebreed — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 12:14:58 +0800

My motherboard is currently this one (bought it like 3 months ago bcoz of tight budget:

Asus P5G41TM LX/

The graphic card that I want to purchase and is just nice with my budget (below RM200) :

Gigabyte HD 5570 1Gb OC

The mobo supports PCI-E 1.1 but the gfxcard is PCI-E 2.1

1. Compatible meh?
2. If not, any idea of a 1Gb gfxcard below RM200 nowadays?

LCD or LED monitor for graphics

There are like hundreds of topics debating between these two in LYN, but non discussing about using it for graphics and desktop publishing, namely for Photoshop, Indesign and stuff.
I have a budget of below RM500, so I don't think I can afford to get an IPS. Maybe this time I need to go for 20"

For graphic designers in here, would it be better if I stick with LCD?

p.s: My Dell 22" LCD full HD kaput few days ago, with the dreaded scanlines issue. I wonder why....

Wired + Wireless

Hi. I know how to setup a connection for more than 1 PC via wired networking, but since the day I've got my USB 3G broadband modem, I have no idea how to share my internet connection with my dad's PC. Here's the detailed info:

Modem : USB modem to my PC.
Want to connect to : My dad's PC. I want it to be wireless.

So..uhmm..what do i need to purchase for my dad's PC in order for me to network and share internet connection with him?
