hiya
i currently have the following
[email protected] GHz
Abit AW9D-MAX motherboard
HIS ICEQ3 X1900XT
1x17" TFT and 1x17"CRT both running at 1280X1024

i am planning to get a Q6600 (will have to flash bios :D ) along with some new monitors (24")

the question is will my graphic card be able to cope with the demand of the monitors or will i need a new graphics card

ps i use my pc for DVDs mostly but some gaming
pss which monitor do you recommend because i was thinking of the dell range and is wide screen or not wide screen better when dual screening?
 
i might be able to but i was hoping to wait for the next range of graphics cards and the games i do play arnt very new anyway so dont know if a new graphics card is worth the extra cost. (if the X1900XT will suffer on with DVDs then i guess i would have no choice but otherwise i guess i wait) (will my MB support the 8800gts) and are they longer then the X1900XT
 
the games i play (often) are about 5 years old or flash games :eek: and i dont really need graphics maxed out! my main concern is can i enjoy watching DVDs without lag and will 2*24" cause lag when doign things like watching DVDs and web browsign at the same time
 
which 24" monitor do you recommend anyway (i want it to be sutible for gaming ) i was looking towards the dells and is it advisible to connect the monitors up via DVI-I or DVI-D cables or does it not make a difference
