USB2 was a paper tiger which couldn't even beat the original Firewire in practice.

Full nkey r/o, no polling, no delay, ps2 is just far superior compared to usb in every way for keyboards. Mouse on the other hand not at all. If I'm shopping for a mobo and it doesn't have PS2 I'm not buying that mobo.

>>58340461

>>58340203
Yeah, I still prefer it to HDMI

>>58340461
USB2 was fast enough for most things and didn't have any issues with hot plugging

>>58340102

Audio and video people mostly. Lot of highend equipment ( talking $1000 and up - used... ) uses FireWire, hardware is still good.

It's getting phased out for USB now but there were quite a few advantages to FireWire for low latency applications.

>>58340072

I don't see the big deal with having a rs232 port on a ATX Mobo. Space isn't exactly a big deal. I can survive with a header on the Mobo though. Serial is pretty handy when you need it.

Adoption of the (Cisco?) Rj45 standard serial would be cool though. Rs232 ports and cables are kinda bulky.

Ps2 ports are sorta eh. I don't really care. Only advantage is one can still get ps2 keyboards for systems that don't boot USB drivers fast enough to get into BIOS.

Most of these ports could really be delegates to headers on mobos let people who need them connect em up.

There is no reason to get a PCI card for the regular consumer.

>>58342019
Yes there is:
If your motherboard only has a PCI slot available, you buy a PCI card to go in. They also tend to be cheaper.

>>58341863
There's no difference between PCIE 1x and PCI. While I'd get over the complete removal from all motherboards, I still own many PCI cards. I have a PCI ATSC tuner in my computer right now.

DP is royalty free and does a better job than hdmi

>>58340037
No I want it to be molex. I want it replaced with a smaller version of the standard power supply connectors (more than a few variants that fit this description exist already).

Issue I have with molex is it can be made to too cheap a standard (Chinese made no fucks given standard) and cause the typical hardware gore and it is normal to have to reseat the connector a few times for the thing to connect properly.

>>58342381
if HDMI was replaced by Displayport everywhere it would be an objective improvement for everyone

The world is still littered with projectors that only have VGA cables available.

>>58342478
Sure, but almost all displays still only ship VGA and HDMI. Since my laptop only has DP and VGA, I had to use VGA to connect it. And to tell you the truth, the fullHD image looks completely fine.

>>58342478
Everyone except production companies, becuase HDCP.
HDCP is literally the only reason HDMI is still a thing.

>>58342387
I liked the AT way of dealing with this type of stuff. Instead of PCI cards, they should put all of this shit on headers and let the end user decide what they want exposed. Make standard ATX I/O plates to be sold separately with punchout tins for what the user wants to use. The I/O could be cabled to the back then screwed into the backplate. You could get rid of everything you don't use.

>>58342664
i'd like to get something worth of my CRT and i've been wondering what. Titan X looks the best but that price...

there's quality loss when going from HDMI/DP to VGA

VGA can normally support up to 2048x1536@60hz

with adapters it can only do 1920x1440@60hz

>>58342803
VGA actually technically supports up to 85Hz at QXGA. If there are any video cards or monitors that ever supported that is a different matter.

>VGA can normally support up to 2048x1536@60hz

DVI-I (integrated, combines digital and analog in the same connector; digital may be single or dual link)
DVI-D (digital only, single link or dual link)
DVI-A (analog only)

MicroUSB fucking sucks because it's weak and unidirectional. MiniUSB is a dead meme. USB C is objectively better than USB A. It's larger profile than MicroUSB because it's intended to replace both mobile and desktop connectors.

PS2 is great because it has almost no latency, no restriction on key-rollover (though it can be done with USB), and plus, it works before the BIOS/UEFI is loaded. The more direct access to the device the better...

As for serial... Come on man. Everyone that uses their computer to make money still uses serial. You can take out-of-band management from my cold lifeless hands.

Many organizations require that storage media be retained after use, even if it fails. When they purchase new equipment, have to specify that, and usually pay a small fee, in exchange for the vendor not requiring you to return the bad drive for warranty replacement.

What's wrong with VGA? There are adapters

>>58352444
Newer graphics cards doesn't support them, but vitually EVERY SINGLE monitor, projector, etc. has a VGA connector. It's the lowest common denominator.

While it does its job, and isn't going away, DisplayPort is superior in many regards:
> Can be made really small
> Instead of fastening shit with screws, you just have to push a button to unfasten it
> Digital signal
> Handles loads of information

And most importantly:
> Can pretend to be a VGA, DVI, etc. connector so you only need a passive converter to use it with old stuff.

It truly is the best Enterprise Cable[tm].
I can use it with all the new stuff, and there are easy to use, proven adaptors for all the old stuff.

It's also free to implment as opposed to HDMI.

>>58340176
So what?

>>58352070
That's actually not a bad idea though.
If you could do it properly, you'd be able to have a wireless dock, so to speak.

>retardation
Elaborate. I've had no issues with either of my monitors on vga cables with dvi adapters, and I've been doing it this way since I started using video cards that no longer offered vga ports.

>>58348478
Well at least if the connector dies you have a backup connector.

>>58352729

tl;dr: DP -> VGA always works. DVI -> VGA not so much.

It's not that you're retarded for wanting to use the worthless POS port known as DVI, it's that the whole DVI specification is filled with retardation.

First off, there's three different DVI ports.
> DVI-A is analogue only,
You probably don't have one of these. It's the most retarded cable imaginable. It's VGA with a different form factor for no fucking reason.

> DVI-D
It's like VGA, but DIGITAL!
And if you go dual-link, you can have 1440p at 60hz!
Cool beans, until you realize that you need an active converter because fuck you.

> DVI-I
Has both digital and analogue RGB signals. So it has both a VGA signal and the HDMI image signal because reasons.

The whole getup is retarded, and the fact that you have to ogle your pins to find out if you need a passive (it has 4 pinholes around the bit minus), or an active (it doesn't) converter just goes to show how retarded this shit was.

It was meant to replace the VGA cable, but HDMI came along and did DVI better, AND let you put audio through it so you could use it for your TV.

And then there's the question of whether or not your converter will work. Because some of them just fail to do so.

Meanwhile, getting a DP-VGA converter is always a passive converter, and it will always work.

If you now, in 2017, need to get a converter to VGA, just go DP -> VGA and save yourself hassle. DVI is dead too anyway.

This gook standard.

A D-Terminal connector carries a component video signal (YPBPR). A device with a D5 connector can understand and display the following video signals:
D1 480i (525i): 720 × 480 interlaced
D2 480p (525p): 720 × 480 progressive
D3 1080i (1125i): 1920 × 1080 interlaced
D4 720p (750p): 1280 × 720 progressive
D5 1080p (1125p): 1920 × 1080 progressive

Just bury it.

its absolutely good enough, but ps2 doesn't poll your cpu while usb does. Some have also found using a 1000hz mouse/kb combo can cause mouse input delay issues in some cases. If your kb came with a usb/ps2 adapter and you have ps2 on your mobo just use it.
