Subject: [Leica] older monitors and windows 7

Hi this might be a dumb question, but here goes...

Do PC monitors need drivers, or do I just need driver(s) for the 
graphics card?  I'm a bit confused because when go into  control panel 
and select displays, it says 'plug and play monitor', so presumably uses 
a generic driver.

The XP machine is getting on, so maybe it's time to plan an 
upgrade/replacement, probably to a quad-core machine running 64-bit 
Windows 7.  My flat-bed scanner and printers are compatible.  In an 
ideal world, I'd go mac, but the mac pro is way out of my league and the 
lack of expandability of the IMac is a concern.

I'd appreciate any advice.

Thanks


Mark
