The point is that a lot of it goes to gaming stuff, like keeping textures in memory and rendering them quickly on a 3d plane, or fancy visual effects, like blurring and the Vista/Win7 glass effects. Timing wise, I suspect my 1 GB win xp machine with cheap video card in the lab can probably beat quite a few “modern lab computers”, with experiments. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">To get the shiny stuff, maybe you can convince people you’ll do lots of online matlabs processing for BCIs, use 3D engines, explore virtual reality, and so on. My suggestion is to keep your old equipment as well – it’s particularly useful to do “old-school” experiments on a very clean computer especially if it comes to critically timed EEG recordings. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Hope that helps. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Best,</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Michiel</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"> </span></p><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #b5c4df 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm"><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""> <a href="javascript:" target="_blank" gdf-obfuscated-mailto="-8rSNWLE0HMJ" onmousedown="this.href='javascript:';return true;" onclick="this.href='javascript:';return true;">e-p...@googlegroups.com</a> [mailto:<a href="javascript:" target="_blank" gdf-obfuscated-mailto="-8rSNWLE0HMJ" onmousedown="this.href='javascript:';return true;" onclick="this.href='javascript:';return true;">e-p...@googlegroups.<wbr>com</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Emir Efendic<br><b>Sent:</b> 20.

We mostly use them for priming experiments and cognitive experiments so timing and graphics issues are of the essence. We are especially looking to buy a top of the line monitor with a high refresh rate. Since I am not very knowledgeable in this area I was wondering what sort of recommendations, if any, you have for me. We also do some light programming in Visual Studio and Matlab. My questions specifically pertain to: is it necessary to have a high performance, external graphics card and what monitors should we be looking at (obviously no CRT's since we are obliged to buy new ones)?<br><br>Any sort of help would be much appreciated.<br>Thank You!<br><br>Emir Efendic<br>PhD.
