Hi Masta, I recently bought a new Dell 22" wide panel LCD. It works great with SU. I did buy a new video card before the monitor as I was sure my FX5200 would not run in wide view with my new monitor. I went with a GF 6600GT card. Seems to run SU just fine for most models. The good thing is the Dell 22" monitor has both DVI and VGA inputs on the back and can be swithced with the front panel button. I used this feature when I had my old PowerMac 6500 plugged into the VGA port and would just switch over the input and puch the PC's keyboard and mouse over and use the Mac's keyboard and mouse. I don't think the FX-5XXX series can do wide aspect viewing so be careful if you plan on getting one of those. The 6200 card is pretty low tech. I would wait and use this $$ on a new system instead of spending $$ on a PCI based system. I think you would be better off getting a new system with a built-in video card (anything other than Intel graphics) and then a better PCIe card down the road a bit. Good luck with whatever you decide
