What do you mean by realy intensive???
my mostly played games ere warcraft2, starcraft, dune2 and some logic puzzles. No Quake or any other FPS or racing games. just plain old games(I like them more because you can see, to be more precise feel the story, withuot any distractions due to the too prety grafix).
The main reason of chainging my monitor, 1 or 2 year old Vestel (who produces I dont know, works best with W98 drivers for standart monitor 1280*1024@75), and it is going crazy. Some times you work and the monitor turns off for 5-10 sec. Or doesnt get back from soft-off (Move the mouse and type some text, if word is open, pres the power button twice and you see the typed text). The best resolution I got I recieve at 1024*768@75 and 16 bit, anything over this mark and monitor doesn't show anything (on the box it said 1280*1024@75). I dad bought it so I worked with it until now.
