Good combination
Do you have the new Elements 5.0
I really like it.
They made it less pretty and more functional with more available screen space to work in.
Running your Sony at 1024x768 .. You may notice that the picture is shrunk ~6% in width.
This is not a problem If you notice it .. just remember what you computer has, and will print, will be the correct size.
If youre thinking about a new monitor .. The 20 inchers will not have this distortion problem.
I think Ram size .. followed by speed .. is the only thing that might effect photo operations noticeably.
Re: Your other post here
On my older computer .. I was wanting to play with Dual monitors.
The higher end video cards all seemed to want a minimum 300w Power Supply that I didnt have.
Anyway .. I installed a second (Cheap, Low memory) PCI video card for the second monitor
That I found locally on sale for $29 .. (as I remember).
It seemed to work really great for the second monitor, non gaming, applications.
Then I installed a stronger power supply .. and a higher end video card
and 2 weeks later The video card fan started screaming.
Even before the fan went out The only difference I could detect was in my wallet.
Now .. Im spoiled .. Dual monitors are better that wide screens IMO.
Heres my test image .. Its a perfect Circle/Square.
It will look like an egg on end on your 17 ... better seen displayed full screen.
