Widescreen glory

The super dupper higher resolution of my new monitor
Today I got a new monitor for my QuickSilver baby, Thor. It is a Samsung, SyncMaster 920nw, 19" widescreen, the thing is simply amazing. Working on my previous monitor was a real PITA, way too small & really, really crappy, besides, the screen was loosing focus on many areas.
In order to be able to use this new widescreen monitor, I had to install a ROM update on the video card of the QuickSilver, which I got here: NVidia FCode flasher 1.1: Information and Download, courtesy of the Apple Docs site.
Without the ROM update, the native resolution (1440x900) of the Samsung simply wasn't available, so everything looked like sh*t.
