I think sometimes I saw these things used as color coding - a blue and white interface on the card and blue and white cables -

I really doubt it'll make a difference - I didn't think the cables were identical - but if it's DVI or VGA, go DVI first, VGA only if you have to, and you don't need both (if your video card offers both options - I don't know if that model Dell you have does or not)

1600x1200 res. is the best for me - I do have one bad pixel- if I go all the way to the far right edge then about a millimeter over I have a white pixel - I saw it and and laughed as I thought of all the people I used to fix crap for at COMPUSA who would have gone without one for two weeks as they returned it.

I really like mine - The way my desk is built I only have room for one, but someday I'd add a 2nd when I revamp my furniture situation.

Enjoy your purchase.
