most problems seem to stem from driving large dvi displays. I think that was the case with the other user and several people have had problems driving 1600x1200 displays over DVI. One thing you might try is the DisplayPriority option in cvs. another is try running the panel at a lower refresh like say 56 Hz rather than 60.
BTW, how is 3D performance with the PCI card? Several people have reported very bad performance when using PCI.
