Originally posted by Busby Not trying to flame but do you think that because it's identical hardware that maybe the hardware besides the mobo is limiting it and not the mobo itself? That's exactly my point. I have some pretty decent hardware, yet the nForce2 is hard pressed to squeeze an extra 1 or...

I have a write in vote for any of the 9xx series from LG. Easily the best monitors for the money. I have a 995E Studioworks and it is great.
