    I just got my dell 9300 w/ the nvidia geforce 6800 go and ive noticed that when im on internet explorer the smaller pictures or graphics seem to be extremely pixilated. The text seems to be fine, all the letters are crisp, but what can i do to get the other pictures or graphics to show up more clear? Thanks

    Standard Windows settings are 96 pixels. With higher res screens this can make the web text very tiny. Dell sets pixels to 120 on the 6000 to make text easier to read. They also use a setting in the bias that sizes up graphics which makes the graphics look pixelated (because they were never meant to run at that size.) You can fix this by changing the setting in the registry to 0. Something like HCRnul....can't recall right now. Alternatively, you can change the pixel size back to 96. This works better with websites anyway...but will make all text smaller.
