I just had my birthday today! I got a wonderful 19 Inch Dell LCD monitor! Its beautiful and matches my Bose Speakers. I'm attempting to make my Ati Rage Pro Turbo to display 1440 x 900, Its stretched right now.

Nice.

Might I suggest a better video card for next year?

I am jealous of you. My G5 has a 17" Dell LCD and a 15" RealSync LCD. I'd love a 19" 'er.

You people and your big displays; you make me jealous.

If only I had a spare PCI slot. They are both filled with a Wifi Adapter and a TV tuner. If I do get a new graphics card I might have to use USB Wifi (Bad because this computer only has USB 1.1). If I get a refund for the access point I got for my iMac that wouldn't bridge a connection and after some birthday money I might be able to buy a cheap, new computer from the classifieds (Over priced but in my range). I really don't like upgrading this old computer so much as it still has 2 PCI slots and a 533MHz processor.
