Anyway there are good cards out there at discount prices. |

I'm in the Netherlands so ordering from newegg is not an option. But what I get from your advice is to better avoid the Radeons andf go for a GeForce 9*** chip, right? I found some very nicely priced ones that I'll investigate on first.

Of course I don't mind you asking. I bought mine about 10 months ago, it's a Samsung SyncMaster 226BW and I love it.
I don't do DTP stuff anymore so I didn't bother to look at color calibration stuff etc... I just wanted a nice price/quality for a big screen. At the time this was my best buy.
