Default Looking for Dell desktop with XP that can run 30 inch monitor

Ok so I am looking around the Dell website.

It seems that the only dell you can get with the 30 inch monitor is the top of the line XPS. But for this computer there is only a "customize with Vista" button. Doesn't seem like you can get it with XP.

Anyone have any ideas?

hmm. I found some XPS 720s that you can install XP on but it is telling me that I need vista to use the 30 inch monitor. WTF?

Buy the monitor separately? There a million graphics cards with dual-dvi out that support the resolution of the 30in dell.

Ok, so as long as I have one of the graphics cards listed in the FAQ I should be fine? Even if dell doesn't allow you to pick the 30 inch monitor with the computer?

ok, cool.

My next question is do I need Windows Vista to use the 30 inch monitor? I didn't think that I did, but for some reason dell.com tells me that I do when I try to add it to the computer I am building.

Dell is stupid. You don't need Vista.
