I already have a Samsung 226BW 22" widescreen, which has a good price/size/quality ratio.
I have that monitor too! Just had to say that. I was going to say to get more RAM too but since I don't use Linux I trust your judgement. =P
Windows does really effed up things with memory. I have a friend who has 3GB of RAM and Windows(2k or XP) is already complaining that it's running out of memory .. while there's 1.7GB of memory free RAM!
Windows also seems to do really weird things with caching and cleaning up memory.
When I open up Maya at work(Windows XP), I can't open an explorer Window anymore, because Windows can't allocate the resources for it. (although there's lots of RAM left to use). If I'd have applications like firefox or explorer open, they would have strange behavior like not showing the "file" and "edit" drop down boxes until Maya is closed down.
Eventually it was Vista who drove me mad into the arms of Ubuntu. What a love story. XD
