Im looking to finally get a new computer. Im gonna be mainly using it for watching movies and shows with some game playing.

Im thinking of buying the ViewSonic VX2025wm 20" widescreen LCD.

It will be supported by a 7600GT video card, AMD 4000 CPU and 1-2 gig of ram.

Is my system gonna be able to handle such a monitor and is non-native resolution gonna be a problem (i still love playing old games like diablo2) ?

Or should i look towards buying a normal 19" LCD?

what do you mean handle it? Of course it can....

You can just chnage the res when you want to play old games..

edit: damn wasted 7k :(

You'll need more RAM to handle a monitor like that!

^^ You better be joking....

yeah, he's trying to be funny.

I've got your funny right here, it's in dimo's pants with I was a teenage hand model's magical leprechaun... wait, what?

Chakas makes me think too much.

I have a 19" and 17" LCD monitor at work and use them both at a very foreign 1024x768. It looked horrid at first but like all things, you get use to it.

well what is the native res? i assume something like 1200x900?
is so the vid card is the factor and since your using a 7600gt yea fo sure no problems.

im using a 6800gt to run a 2405(1920x1200) and it does it sweet as

dual link dvi capable card will do you fined X1300 or 7300 is bare mininal.
