See the thing is, I’m now thinking about getting hold of the new Dell 2407 however its optimum resolution is 1920 x 1200.

My two present Graphics cards struggle somewhat on 2048 x 1536 with maxed out everything else on games like Bf2, as I can set that on my present CRT but instead I stick with 1600 x 1200 because of this and things run fine.

Could I set the dell 2407 to run at 1600 x 1200 without problems or should I overclock the cards so they can run games like this at the higher resolution?

My setup is:

AMD Athlon FX-57 Processor
x2 1GB Corsair XMS Pro RAM (total 2 GB)
x2 GeForce 7800 GTX 256 MB (SLI)
Asus A8N32-SLi Deluxe nForce4 Sli x16 Motherboard

I'm also getting soon a Zalman Aero Flower and two Zalman VF900 VGA Cooler's...

Thats a good system for WUXGA gaming, far better than mine (3700+/1.5GB PC3200/6800GT) and I've just finished playing through HL2Ep1 in native with everything up except vsync (good framerates throughout). If games don't run well in native then you'll find you're able to set custom resolutions such as 1280x800/1440x900/1680x1050 and the game will still look good.

That said, you can run 1600x1200 on the 2407, either stretched or with vertical borders, your choice. Overclocking is your choice, might significantly help, might not.
 
Cheers guys, I get hold of the Zalman’s tonight so I’ll be attempting my very first overclock!

I’ve never done this before so I’m a tad worried but I’ll be using Coolbits so…
