    Need help on Acer P243W setup and video card

    Ok, I don't actually have this monitor yet but I hear it is a good one.  I am in the process of getting my component list together before I make the big purchase.  So my question is, what video card will work best with this monitor (an SLI or Crossfire setup).  If there is a better monitor, please speak up.  I would like a 24" at around $400.  Also, if you have any input on which motherboard to use with that card...would be a great help.  I'm not familiar with what all the Northbridge options mean, and I don't know if I should allow for a dual card setup for the future.  I am looking for a GAMING setup, so keep that in mind.  Thanks for any and all help in advance.

    24"? Big but they have the same resolution as 22" or 20.1" monitors. Well, since it looks like you have money to spend, a single GTX280 should be able to suffice. If not, dual HD4870s or HD4870 X2 should do

    i think this monitor is good and you can choose HD 4850 or hd4870 both of them has two DVI. and if you choose these two cards, it is better to buy a mobo supporting crossfire for futureproof. i think all the OS will support dual monitor set up and 8600 GT can use dual monitors in my office.
