Rapid Movement Causes "Image Trail" on U2410

Friends,

I wonder if anyone can explain to me the cause of the kind of "image trail" that sometimes appears on my new U2410 when I grab a window with my mouse and move it quickly.  I didn't notice this with my previous, smaller monitor (1907FPc).  I have a Dell Dimension 5150, 4 GB RAM, Pentium D CPU 2.80GHz, NVIDA GeForce 7300 LE video card, DVI connection.

Does the U2410 place more demand on the system?  Do I need a new CPU, or a better video card?  Suggestions appreciated.

This image is an especially bad example.  It is seldom this bad, and typically would not stay visible long enough to do a screed capture, but I do notice it from time to time, most often when I'm running a resource intensive application like Adobe Lightroom.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, Chris.  This seems to eliminate that trailing effect.  My further question, however, was, "Does the U2410 place more demand on the system?  Do I need a new CPU, or a better video card?"

In other words, I didn't ever notice this effect with my older Dell monitor, so I'm wondering if I should consider a new video card, if this monitor somehow is more processor-intensive.  Advice appreciated.

If it all works now, then I do not know if I would spend money upgrading the video card. Ask the guys here which viceo card they went to on this PC model.
