You really need to upgrade your vid card first. You're going to want to run at 1600x1200 minimum to avoid scaling.

The video card is a 7800 GTX! You're saying I'd be better off upgrading that? I was going to get a new processor and RAM as well, just not yet. The main benefit, to me, in getting the monitor first is that it allows me to test the text game I'm making on a wide screen monitor, and it will make my Xbox seem like a brand new console. This is enough to hold me over for quite some time.
Here are my current stats. (I'd use Steam to profile my system, but it's been a while since I've logged in, and I don't have enough time to go through the two thousand ads they are going to show me, with Donkey.bas and such being half-off.)
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual
Core Processor 4200+
2.42 Ghz, 2.00 GB of RAM
Nvidia GeForce 7800 GTX
Human Interface Devices: [Prototype]-breaking Logitech Trackball
For professional reasons, I would prefer to go forward with Intel, since at no point were they an enormous cocksucker to me.
For personal reasons, the trackball is non-negotiable. =(

I have a Dell 2405 and it's the best monitor I've owned by Rafiki 07/06/2009, 10:13am PDT 
I think that's the same model as mine NT by Entropy Stew 07/06/2009, 2:40pm PDT 
Input lag varies by rev, can be up to 50ms (I own three & don't game on them) NT by Ray of Light 07/06/2009, 5:45pm PDT 
How do they even manage that? It's a fucking DVI in! NT by Entropy Stew 07/06/2009, 6:36pm PDT 
Plus scaling unit, OSD renderer. And maybe a decoder that isn't needed for DVI! NT by Ray of Light 07/07/2009, 8:24am PDT
