If you get a headache from a CRT monitor, then you are using it wrong - push up your refresh rate to 70+ Hz.



I tried that before but it don't seem to work.

I just realised that my LCD's running at only 60hz native resolution and i can tune up my CRT at work to 70hz ~ 85hz.

256MB is not going to be what kills system performance there, the 4500RPM drive will be. If it is just for pr0n download purpose, then you should be able to tweak out a few things with stuff like nLite and reclaim some memory to get that to work with 256MB, although 512MB is really recommended for ...
