I am going to a 19" Monitor. I presently have a 17".
My System is fairly new P3 733 ebMHz CPU
256MEGS PC/133 SDRAM, ATI Expert 2000 32MEG AGP.
Would there be any problems that I may encounter by going to a larger Monitor? Or to have better performance when I do switch, what could I do to improve the quality ecetra> Thank you.

Only problems I can think of would be less eye strain. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
The new monitor should come with drivers and a user manual. Check the manual for the supported refresh rates and resolutions. The larger, the better.
With a 17" monitor, a setting of 1024x768 is usually recommended. With the 19" monitor, you should be able to bump that up to 1280x1024 and then just set it to either the optimal refresh rate for the adapter or manually set it to the maximum that the monitor will support.
Next thing you will have to do is upgrade the video card to go with that spiffy new monitor. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/smile.gif
Have fun!
