get the ATI if you can, or maybe an S3 based card (not diamond if you wish
for Xwindows).

I have used the 15" monitor and it is nice, the 17 should be even better,
since it has a .26 dot on it. the bandwidth on both monitors is very large.
: 3) Feel free to add any comments about Xwindows or the monitors and cards

I use an Orchid Farhenheit 1280 with my system and am looking at getting
the KFC 15" model myself. I have used it already and know that it works fine.

Only some people think it is a sin to ask questions, I for one would rather
help out at all times :) No, this isn't a cutdown to the others, cause FAQ
questions do get annoying, but at times, people may have read them. We all
know that the FAQ is not the best thing always for finding answers.
