For the most part, my home computer is used for a game computer. Sometimes it is used for a word processor, utilizing the MS Office Suite software. My games are all of the Flight Simulator type, with very little in the role playing or first person (i.e., Doom).
It appears the, for the most part, NEC seems to be considered the hands-down favorite, with all of the usual comments as to why this is so. As with anything else, there will be NO unanimous decision on this, as we are all different people. With that said, I would like to ask which NEC monitor would be better for my needs, the 20? 20WMGX2 or the 90GX2 19? monitor. My system is as follows:
AMD Athlon 64 Fx PC3200 Socket 939
ASUS A8V Deluxe, with 5 PCI, 1 AGP 8x slots
1 GB RAM, consisting of 2 512MB matched modules, room for 2 more
NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT 256 MB Video, AGP 8x
1 Maxtor 120 MB HD, using IDE
1Maxtor 20MB HD, using IDE
Windows XP Home
It seems I?ve read somewhere that to run the 20WMGX2 monitor might tax my single AGP video card, even thought it?s a fine one for my applications. Would I be better at just settling for the 19? monitor, the 90GX2? I currently have an older Sony 19? CRT that works fine, just looking to improve space and so forth.
