New to Widescreen, looking to purchase LCD

I love my 225bw! No dead pixels, super bright so make sure you read the review here and on NewEgg. At one of these sites I found some "recommended settings" and they were spot on!

Seems like I paid less than $350 for this monitor. Can't really remember, but I know it was less than $400 (with ...

New to Widescreen, looking to purchase LCD

225bw

Calling all 30" panel owners (Updated 6/16)

I have slightly upped the clocks on my card. I notice that my room gets warmer when I leave it clocked so I have three profiles created for clocking.

My cpu is a FX60 and I have installed the AMD dual core optimizer.

Once ATI releases their DX10 cards then I will decide which card to ...

How much power

I have a 22inch screen and am considering getting a 30 incher. How much graphics horsepower is required for one of these? I have an ATI 1900XT. Would that be enough?
