I know, it's not Xmas YET but it arrived yesterday and she wasn't here - so, early gift for me

LOL

Every time I went to Dell in the past few months I loaded up on upgrade after upgrade and extra on top of extra and then I'd get to the confirmation page and I'd be at $2.5K - 3 grand and think to myself, "Fuck! I don't NEED at that much of a computer!" Then I'd close the browser and start looking at Macs and do the same damn thing! Then I'd complain to my wife that I needed a new computer but couldn't find anything I REALLY wanted!

So, this is what she got me

Vostro 200 Mini Tower

Processor Intel® Core?2 Duo Proc E4500 (2.20GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, 800FSB
Operating System Genuine Windows® XP Home Edition
Monitor Dell 20 inch Widescreen E207WFP Analog Flat Panel Display
Memory 2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM 667MHz - 2DIMMs
Primary Hard Drive 250GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache?
Optical Drives Dual Drives: 16X (DVD+/-RW) Burner and 48X CD Burner/DVD Combo

It's exactly what I needed and I'm LOVIN' IT!

... and I know she got it for considerably less than what I was going to spend! She's good like that

Anyway, on to the question:

So, it came with a 20 inch widescreen, and its a great monitor - but I don't like how everything is stretched. Are there some settings I can fiddle with to eliminate the stretch or should I just hook up my LG Flatron and put this monitor with my old computer that has now become my backup?

Thanks in advance!
