ABF, let me ask you one thing. Have you rolled back to XP or are you sticking it out with Vista?
20" CRT... that would be large... I'm not sure if my desk would fit it comfortably. That's the problem with CRTs, the depth. But either way, I won't have a new monitor soon, unless this one suddenly burns out or something (I hope not). Summer... maybe. We'll see.
As for XP... erm, the reason I said 'joins the 21st century' is because I was thinking people remembered that my old computer has Millennium on it, not XP... sorry, can't go back to an OS I don't have. :)

Getting a consistent high framerate in Guild Wars, where my previous machine would have choked and gone down to 5fps in places (and WITH 4x anti-aliasing! :))? The game that came with it, Dark Messiah of Might & Magic (that game's recent)? Demos? ... Morrowind (it didn't run completely smoothly on my old computer...)? I don't know...
... the only game installed on it so far is GW... I've spent most of my time hating my DVD burner/discs and inability to get networking to work.
