    I've already decided on the Dell 2407WFP. The Samsung 244t, while reportedly better, is still out of my price range.

    By looking at my PC specs below, and considering its native resolution of 1920x1200, will I have much trouble running HL2 and other games at full throttle? I know I have good stuff, but that's still a lot of pixels to push 60 times a second. My other option would be the Samsung 214tw-- a 21-incher at 1680x1050.

    Thanks!

    I have had the Dell for a year. It has run everything full bore. Call Of Duty, FEAR, Counter-Strike and HL2, World Of Warcraft and many more.

    What have you got powering it, though?

    Used to be a 3.2 Intel with a 6800. Now, I got Duo 2.93 with 7950GX2.

    Cool, we have pretty similar stuff. I don't have the dual GPUs, but I think I'll be okay. Thanks, man.
