Configuring a 2405 with a DELL XPS600 (NVidia 7800GTX) for combat flight simulator

[pinocchio]

All,

Nice to find such a good forum.

Though I have worked for 23 years in the computer business, it is the first time that I have decided to use a wide screen setup. I have purchased an XPS600 Gold with a single NVidia 7800 GTX card, 2Gb of RAM etc, etc. and I would like to prepare for when it arrives in order to set it up correctly.

Aside from a lot of photo, audio and video work, I would like to play my two favourite games that are Combat Flight Simulator 3 and IL2 Forgotten Battles.

Is there anything peculiar that I need to know in order to be able to install, configure and run these two games in 1920x1200 mode?

Thank you in advance for any kind help you may extend.

Best regards.

Massimo.

Thanks JonnyBlaze. Most appreciated. Anything else peculiar about the settings that you know about regarding the NVidia 7800GTX with the 2405FPW?

If the Flight sim game for some reason doesn't work in wide screen mode I would suggest WSGF They are a great resource for Widescreen gaming.
