I have the same question, I was just going to buy this monitor, now I'd better check and see if there any 64 bit drivers.
Also curious if there is any ghosting when playing fps or any games, 12ms refresh should be fast enough, but never know.
I hate returning things! So can anyone help with these questions?
Thanks much,
gary

Great work Reyede. I just strated searching the Dell site for a WinXP x64 driver for the 2405fpw monitor and found none. I thought I was going to have to modify the .inf file myself, but it seems you've done a perfect job of it already.

BIG THANKS!
