Thanks for your advice. As I said, I do NOT plan to watch movies. My |
| 22 |
only concerns are (a) support for the dell 2005fpw monitor in its native |
| 23 |
resolution (which i've forgotten but it's widescreen format) and (b) |
| 24 |
well supported under gentoo. |

Tomorrow I will try to buy a 6600GT board. |
