Sticky: Dell 3007WFP 30\'\' monitor FAQ
What is it?
The Dell 3007WFP is a 30'' widescreen monitor that supports 2560x1600 resolution. Where can I find it? http://www.dell.com/content/products/pro...s=dhs&cs=19 Do I need a special graphics card to use it? The high resolution of the 3007 requires a graphics card with Dual Link DVI-D capability. You can easily search many sites like www.pricewatch.com and www.pricegrabber.com and specify "dual link" to find compatible cards. What is dual link DVI? Dual link DVI is esentially increased video bandwith across the same interface. Go here if you'd like more explanantion: http://www.datapro.net/techinfo/dvi_info.html Can I use the monitor without a dual link DVI card? Yes, but you won't like it. The 3007 is designed to run at 2560x1200. Any resolution lower than that will result in icons about 3 inches tall. So which graphics cards can I use? There are more and more compatible cards being released every day. As mentioned before, the best way to find one is to go into your local retailer or search online merchants and specify "dual link DVI". Here are some compatible models though: Nvidia Quadro FX 3000, 4000, 3400, 4400 Sapphire X1300 XT, X 1650 Pro and X 1650 XT ATI FireGL V3400, V5200, V3300, Radeon 9600 Pro GeForce 7950GT, 8500GT, 8800GTX, 8800 GTS Does my PC have to have anything special to run one of these cards? Most of these cards use the PCI express interface, so you will need to make sure your motherboard has an available PCI express slot. Also, pay attention to the power supply requirements for each card. A good average is 500 watts, so make sure your power supply is large enough.

Awesome. I'll leave this unlocked (and therefore unstickied) for a day or so, so you guys can make comments regarding changes or additions. When it seems stable, I'll sticky it.
Thanks! -Sam
