I'm planning to replace my old CRT monitor with Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP 24" 1920:1200@60Hz. The problem is my VGA Sapphire Atlantis Radeon 9600 (lite edition) overclocked on 356/222 MHz. Display with WUXGA resolution; VGA Pixel Fillrate 1300mil pixels/s and Peak Bandwidth 6.4 GB/s.
PC configuration: AMD A64 3200+; MB MSI K8N Neo2 AGP8x; 2xKingston HyperX 512MB.
Is my VGA too slow for this LCD?
If I have to buy better VGA, is it wise to buy another AGP VGA, now when PCI-ex is benchmark?
What influence will Win Vista have on prices of VGA, as Vista came with lot of changes in graphics? Can we expect some reduction in prices?
Any suggestion about which ATI graphic card (AGP or PCIe) should I purchase, up to 150$? Also, any suggestion about MB, up to 200$.

Thank you.
 
Your video card can run it fine at 1920x1200, however if you game, you would have to lower the resolution in order to keep the game playable.
 
Yes, but I won't be able to use it on native resolution, is that right? I understand that LCD's are "looking good" only at native resolution, because of technology.
 
They do look better at native resolutions, but because of my video card, I only play games at 1280x800 (I believe thats the right resolution), when my monitor supports up to 1680x1050, reason being because my video card cant handle games on medium/high settings at that res.
 
Guys, please propose some not so expensive MB with PCI-e, DDRs and s939.
About DDR, where is the limit of DDR? I mean, regarding MBs, when DDR2 is needed (like, I need DDR2 for Core 2 Duo...).
About MBs, what are main differences between s939 and sAM2 MBs? For example, CPU A64 X2 4200+ comes in both versions, and s939 is more expensive.
Thanks, OMEGA.
