Well Steve, a lot of us were having these upgrade discussions way back last October time. Check the H/S forum. I posted
this thread about monitors. What I had read on the BBS up to that point was that it's not much use having a top end video card if your monitor does not have the refresh rate to realise the video card performance. For that reason, I upgraded to my current iiyama VisionMaster Pro-454 which was recommended by Nexx/Replicant.
So if your monitor is 5 years old it probably has a crappy refresh rate, and you're not getting the best out of your vid-card.
