Your cpu is probably acting as a large bottleneck, so I would look into upgrading it (the original post)
Got a 24" monitor about a month ago. Nice screen boost.

I didn't want to upgrade anymore on the old core-duo/quad platform. I will be building an i7/i9 machine and will drop the videocard into it. Also the cpu isn't bottlenecking it much at all. It can easily run any game including Crysis at 1920x1200 all maxed settings and 2x anti aliasing.
I use stream supported applications which are greatly optimized by the card. I like to do a lot of rendering and most rendering I do is heavily gpu accelerated.
