Your psu has them

Make sure by looking through the manual (Of your psu) and the spare connectors you get with it (I'm presuming it's the modular one).

Guys sorry to jump in but with my spec below will I be able to run a Dell 2407WFP 24" with all the eye candy on? Say COD2/BF2 etc?

I think it should be ok due to your 512mb 1900xt. Obviously any heavy anti-aliasing will bring it down a lot but you should be able to have it at high settings. Oblivion would probably still be very choppy (As always ) but the games you mentioned should be fine

i cant get to the spare cables at the moment as its in the loft

reading the manual which doesn't make much sense there is a picture of a block and written beside it: pcie power connector 6pin

ive also looked in the manual of my 6800gt and i cant see if that uses a pcie power connector

edit:
must be just looked on the net found this

my 2 7800gtx cards in sli dont play some games on full res and settings i normally just turn the res down little and helps loads

 

[wigster]

well orderd the card so i will have it tomorrow,i dont know what other people have to say about this card and tfts,but ive been told by some people that gaming wont be that good if i buy a 22 tft and be even worse if i did buy a 24,something to do with native resolution,if you go below or above the native resolution things dont look right

now i need to get the right tft as i dont want to be dissapointed and im not going to be buying another one quick

for that card ive been told to get a decent "19"lcd

or should i just keep my crt

i like the look of dells but they only have one "22" and thats only come out

the Belinea looks ok but not sure on that

£300 or just over to spend on a "22"

i see the Belinea does not have height adjustment which i would need

update of my specs:
Asus A8N-SLI Premium
AMD Athlon 64 3700 Skt 939
GeIL 1GB
HIS ATI Radeon X1950 Pro

i had been looking at the Samsung SM-225BW

edit:been doing my research on here and its a "22" im going to go for,
so far the Samsung SyncMaster 226bw looks Promising

been playing farcry great game but on ATI Radeon X1950 Pro i cant find vsync or is it the (wait for vertical refresh) what setting can i get away with including screen resoultion

I dunno, my own 6800GS plays supreme commander on lowest settings on 30 fps on 2560x1024 ( 2x 1280x1024, dualscreen) so in theory most games should work on lowest settings, all older games like 2 years old should easely do maxed/mid settings, battlefield 2 works fine here on 40+ fps completly maxed on 1600x1200+4aa&16af, 1920x1200 isnt that much more...
