    Video to go with Dell 2405

    I have placed an x800xl into this set up and BF2 works nicely, even though you have to futz with it to get it to 'stretch' to 1920x1200, resulting in wide heads on people since that dimension is extented. But World of warcraft, which doesn't need any fancy aa or other stuff, becomes even more...
