But you don't say what resolution you get with XP :-) .

I have 3 ViewSonic lcds and each working perfectly at its native 
resolution. Which ViewSonic model do you have?

How do you have them connected to the card- analog cable or digital cable?

And which nVidia card do you have (and which driver for it do you have 
installed)?
