Video cards

[David A. Bandel]

Folks,

I recently got a new monitor -- decided on a widescreen.  But the
motherboards video chip just won't support this properly (I have
video, but it's a bit distorted).

Anyway, I went to the local computer shop to look for video cards
(nVidia to be exact).  They have a 7xxx model and an 8xxx model --
both PCI-X (with a significant price difference between the two).

Anyway, I was wondering if either would support 1440x900 at 60 or 75
Hz.  Also, I understand from the folks at the shop that the PCI-X
cards seem to require a lot more power than simple PCI cards (not sure
why that should be, but thought I'd ask for anyone w/
experience/knowledge if this is true).

Any comments?

Thanx,

David A. Bandel
