    Upgrade choice from Dell 2209wa

    Is a Dell U2412M a good upgrade? Knowing I'm fine with the 2209WA gaming performance, is the U2412M going to be worse? Are photos going to look worse? The price is right on that monitor right now. And it's been 4 years and 4 months. Before that, I had a Dell FPW2005 for 4 years. It's time...

    Asus A8N32-SLI ram divider question (and more!)
