2407 with E510 & x600 256mb

brand new E510, 2407, x600 256mb and there's severe artifacts on the screen at 1900x1200.  Some widows apps I can hear the effect of a mouse click but it takes 1/2 or more to see it ect.
 
Is this card just simply not good enough to run the 2407?
Thanks

    razzman,

    Is the Optimal preset resolution 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz listed?

    Yes, it's currently running at 1920x1200 @ 60hz 32bit color.
     
    On some apps, if I click and drag stuff over other windows, you see white boxes where it was dragged across it.  I also see some flickering on the screen.  I knew the x600 wasn't that high end of a card but I expected at least decent windows desktop performance.  People have told me to update the drivers but I doubt that's it on a system that is days old using a video card that's been out for quite a while.
     
    Overall after spending $1800+ on a system (maxed everything available on the e510 + 2407FWP), the sound and video performance is beyond poor but at the unacceptable level and I only use it for windows and to watch DVDs, no games.
     
    Sitting 2 feet away I can't hear people talking out of the center channel watching a DVD even though it's maxed (sub off) with DELLs most expensive speakers (still cheap granted but should be able to hear people talking...).
