Thanks everyone for the great information.
I have now found a Fixed Frequency VGA Card that supports all Fixed Freq
monitors for $139 to $159 in PCI or AGP..

This would resolve any problems using this monitor.
But the big question now, is this monitor really worth the cost of a new
Video Card ?
Or does it make more sense to just buy a new monitor ?
Good Points:
1. Its a Big 19 inch monitor..
2. It has an aperture grille, used in high end Sony type monitors.
3. Its an HP monitor its clean and no screen burn.
4. According to specs this monitor will support 3D graphics directly with
the right video card.
5. According to Specs it supports an impressive 1158 X 870 resolution.
6. Seems like I get a good working 19 monitor for only $160.00
Negative Points:
1. Its 6 years old.
2. Don;t know how many hours are on it.
3. History is unknown..
4. The Sucker is Big and weighs a ton..
So Should I do this or Not ?
