Iverson:
We have similar setups, and I do light CAD (turbocad 5.2) as well. I'm pushing my T-bird 750, Abit kt7a to 900mhz (150fsb x 6.0 mult w/cheap pc133 sdram), ATI AIW 32ddram.
Lately, today, I've been running the 2100ex (aka samsung 1100p+1/2) at 1800 x 1440 and refresh of 60hz. I can push it to 70hz, but there is noticeable flicker (natural light) in upper left corner. At 60hz, no noticeable flicker.....!? I'll try this for a while. Seems much sharper than when I tried earlier. Even theAnandtech site fine print is legible. All this at 32bit hi color.
I would probably opt for the in between resolution, 1792x1344, but cannot bring it up without the virtual destop feature enabling (that is, the monitor/adaptor runs at 1600x1200, and pans to the edge of the 1792x1344 image. Any tips anyone?
Having a great time. Great deal. Great forum.
