    Heyall,

    I'm interested in getting the Vostro 1500. I'm wondering, if I upgrade to the 8600M GT, if any particular screen is recommended for optimal gaming. I don't remember where, but I read somewhere that with some screens (maybe it was the SXGA+?) there can be visual tearing? Or something like that?

    Thanks!
    Ash

    I thought the native resolutions for a lot of games was 1280x800.
