I know I want 1024 x 728 (or whatever the 700 number is) and that I should get a monitor with a .28 dot pitch ( or .25, I guess), but is there any real advantage to a multi-sync monitor? And someome told me there are even multi-sync cards, too! Arrggghhhhh! Has there been any recent magazine articles that covered this stuff? I've been following the NET for some time and haven't seen this thread. If someone could shed some light on this matter, I'd be internally (ulcers ;^}) greatfull. -ted- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ted@helios.ucsc.edu |"He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what does the W (408)459-2110 |Lord require of you but to do justice and to love kindness H (408)423-2444 |and to walk humbly with your God?"
