I'm going to buy a new dell desktop that has:
Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E4500 (2MB L2 Cache,2.20GHz,800 FSB),
128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8300GS,
2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz- 2DIMMs
I mainly surf web, organize digital pictures from my digital slr, and watch movies.
and I'm going to buy 22' HP W2207 which has 1000:1 Contrast Ratio and Resolution at 1680 x 1050.
do you think 128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8300GS would give me best possible image quality for 22' HP widescreen monitor??
or should I get 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT-DDR3 or 128MB Radeon ATI HD 2400 PRO ?
Thank you.

8300GS is the cheapest in the Geforce 8xxx series. It has the lowest number of stream processors (only 8) and supports the older Nvidia Purevideo technology. All the rest support the latest Purevideo HD technology. If you are not considering gaming, get at least the 8400GS or the HD2400 Pro. These cards can support high resolution ( up to 1920x1200)

technically speaking, onboard graphics could give you the image quality you need for that monitor.
It would be a shame though to put such a budget graphics card on a core 2 duo. Go with the 8600 GT, its much faster, can do faster textures and altogether is a very nice graphics card.

The graphics card doesn't work like that, if the monitor supports the setting as well as windows then you can assume so will the graphics card, for the majority of the things you do with it, I hardly see you running into any future problems.
