wtf you can't rotate them 90" using the stand? Dell said you could (not that anyone shoud ever trust what those monkeys tell you.)

Guess I'll have to investigate the Samsung / HP ones as an alternative.

It seems really odd to get a monitor on the basis of which one has a nicer stand, given how cheap those parts are in comparison to the rest of the purchase.

Like, seriously...

Also, if you want to compare monitors, Gateway has just released a mega cool 30" monitor which prides itself on handling multiple sources - so, if you're not just using it for computer, but also for DVD/TV/etc. you should look into that.

It has neat stuff like a very highly regarded upscaling processor, and picture-in-picture that you can move aroudn to wherever you like.

Thanks for the advice people - next question on this - if I went with two cards is the on-board memory of the card the key thing? the single card I was looking at had 320mb so if I get two cards I want combined memory > 320mb for it to be an advantage right? Or is it not that simple...

Note: this system is only for poker.

If the system is for poker, it probably doesn't really matter how much mb is on your cards.

If you're seriously saying you'll only use it for poker (and I know I couldn't resist restricting my use of two 30" monitors to purely poker), two of the more basic dual-link DVI cards should be fine.

Plus any considerations on the Motherboard for two cards? The system I was looking at had an Asus P5K Motherboard.

I don't know anything about motherboards. Sorry.
