    Is this stock voltage correct?

    My AMD 4400+ came yesterday, installed it just fine. The only thing I find odd is the stock voltage is at 1.520 (isn't supposed to be at 1.3-1.35v?.) Is this normal and would it be safe to overclock it say to a 2.4gHz at least?

    2007fpw or vx2025 for image quality

    Dell has the S-IPS panel. Both display 16.7 mil colors. I've heard great color reproduction about both monitors (I own the 2025) but which has the best image quality out of the two? Last question, can the 2007fpw switch between portrait and landscape mode like the vx2025 can not do?
