I've been shopping around for a while, and i'm stuck between getting either a 19" regular, or a 19" widescreen. Any suggestions? I could use some help.

What's so much better about a wide though, than a regular?

dude, i was just as skeptical as you are about widescreen vs. reg. I played Company of Heroes and Halo on my friends 19" WS and now I've decided to not play CoH until I get my own widescreen....
now this is an awesome deal: 19" Widescreen
go for it, trust me...

Well, it kind of depends on your video card's ability to handle the better wide-aspect resolutions, but if you can do it, go for a 19" widescreen at least. I'm a fan of the Hanns-G 19" widescreen myself.

I'm thinking of buying a 7600GT, but anyone else know of a better one for around the same price of around $100?

For not too much more than a 19" one I just ordered http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824176073 :) I have high expectations for this one...and my current 17" HP Flat Panel has served me dutifully for 4 years =D

I'm taking a "spend more now" approach to building my comp this time around...no more of that budget crap for me! =D

i guess the 7600GT and the 7900GS are the two best budget cards for the cash...
