    More good suggestions. Thank you. :) Good idea with the adapter. I really could do away with DVD drives. I am still leaning toward the quad. These machines will be used for the long haul and I don't want any regrets. The price delta is not that great. I am not that concerned about the...

    Video Card Recommendations for 30" Monitor

    Sorry about the title. I'm not sure what happened. Probably 14 hours of testing I just got done with. :shocked: I typically play games that are one or two years old. Example: C&C3 Tiberian is my "new" game I just purchased. I do this so I can get by with a lesser video card on a larger...
