Do I need to run a screensaver on an LCD monitor?
Sunday, November 20, 2005 by jarget | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
To prevent burn in?
Also I just bought a new Dell pc WITH A PENTIUM D 2.8MHZ. What's the difference between a Pentium 4 and a Pentium D?
Any help from you PC experts will be appreciated.

It is still a Pentium 4....the D represents a series within that particular model. Mine is also a Pentium4(R) 2.8, with a D after it.

LCD/TFT monitors are not susceptible to the 'burn-in' problems the older cathode-ray tube [CRT] monitors were.
So, in answer to the first part of your question ...no, it's not necessary to run a screensaver.
...unless you like them, and want to ~that is

Geez, another name from Intel?
lol
As for the screensaver issue, I read somewhere that most monitors of all types don't have that problem any more.
I just like having a scrensaver. I think it has other uses like 'I am thinking mode' or just a way to show you personality while at work with the other drones.

The D stands for Dual Core processor, and is much closer to having 2 physical processors than Hyperthreading.
Hyper-threading enables multi-threaded software applications to execute two software threads in parallel.

I think so...mine lists as 2 units of 1.4 = 2.8.

Isn't the "D" the new dual processor chip? |
