I've been running a Dell 228WFP 22" widescreen monitor at work and absolutely love it. 1680x1050 crisp and clear. The only drawback was no built-in usb ports and the stand did not elevate but was fixed.

I had to buy another monitor for a new pc so I called my Dell rep.

Sales Rep: KnacK, have I got a deal for you!!
KnacK: (drooling all over himself) whatchya got?
Sales Rep: the New ultrasharp 22" widescreen came out today!!
KnacK:(sporting some serious wood now) mmmmmm secsi, how much??
Sales rep: SAME PRICE AS YOUR 19" STANDARD MONITORS!!
KnacK: OMFG GIMME ONE!!!

Dell Ultrasharp 2208WFP 22-inch Widescreen

The biggest thing I noticed from the othler model is that its so fregging bright!

Anyway, I had to share. It will be the best present I get this year.

So now im running this intel POS integrated graphix card and my parents wont buy me a new computer. does anyone have a E310 and know for a fact you cant put in a graficks card? And if you cant what are those pci slots for?

pm me your service tag from your dell and let me see what I can dig up.

If you have unused PCI slots then you should be able to put a video card in.

Edit: Okay. Just looked at some pics of the inside of and E310 and yeah you can definitely put a video card in if you have the open slots. Also note that there are only 2 PCI slots and they may already be in use. If you post a pic of the back of your tower I can tell you if they are in use or not.

The bottom one is in use but the top one is free. I would like to know what is in the bottom one though.

Erad,

The only thing that *might* help is an old pci vid card.. That means a 4 meg or 8 meg card.

I looked and even I dont have any more of those lying around.

Zorchenhimer · « **Reply #18 on:** January 01, 2008, 10:17:15 PM »

I have a few PCI vid cards. Not sure how large they are though. Think at least one of them is 32mb.
