Xtknight, Thank you for the earlier guidance. One more question: what is the least expensive 19" 1280 X 1024 SXGA LCD monitor that you can recommend that will do 256 shades of gray? Otherwise non-demanding - no gaming, no movies, no photography. Just email, Internet, word processing...

Xtknight, Thank you for the suggestion. Before ordering the NEC LCD1970NX, I went ahead and checked out the NEC web site. I found that the information that I need to make a decision - 6-bit vs. 8-bit, glossy vs. reflection resistant - was entirely missing in action from the web site...

Great thread! But I don't see much about grayscale viewing - so here goes . . . I request guidance in regards to 19" SXGA (not widescreen) LCD monitors that would be good for grayscale viewing. I understand that the best my poor old video card (a PCI ATI Radeon 7500) can put out is...

I am looking at buying an inexpensive (?Value?') or moderately-priced 2 GB RAM kit (2 X 1GB) for a computer I plan to build using a Gigabyte GA-K8N Pro-SLI motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813128301 Are there any RAM-compatibility charts anywhere for this...

Follow-up on energy usage on the nVidia 6600 video cards - I did a little more research and came up with the following, so I thought I would pass it along: DC power consumption on the nVidia GeForce 6600 cards seems to run at about 12.3-15 Watts at idle, 24.1 Watts at peak 2D and 27.6-43...

Again, my apologies for the empty replies - I seem to have been hitting the quick reply button instead of the regular reply button. I hope to avoid further repeating the error. _____________________________________________________________________ ProviaFan, My thanks. I posted...

OOPS - those empty replies were an accident ( I am new to this board) - my apologies - if a moderator would be kind enough to delete them, that might be a *good thing.* Can the poster edit his own posts on this board...

nullpointerus, Thank you, Suetonius

First Post. Questions, questions, questions . . . I am looking for advice on the purchase of a video card to run largely in 2D. Specifically, I am looking for a PCIe X 16 DVI video card to run a single 19? DVI LCD monitor (1024 X 1280 max). Video card budget ? $0-$150 (?). I am...
