Hello Scoobydo, Thanks, this does help me, I will use a single monitor setup as my Samsung 244T serves me and i have limited space at this time. I did drool though as I read your email. My current card is a 4870 but I plan to keep it in the system I will be upgrading. I have had some issues with it but it served me well for the most part. I would like to go back to nVidia tho.
