Difference in Font Appearance

I have just received a Inspiron 6000 and I have noticed a difference in the whay that fonts appear in this computer compared to a Dell Dimension 4550 running Windows XP Pro.  Anyone can tell me why this is so?  The Dell Dimension has a 18" LCD monitor connected to it and I have a 19" LCD monitor connected to my Inspiron 6000.  I am puzzled by the difference. 
Here is an example:

    Clear type is enabled on my new Inspiron.  But it is not on my Dell Dimension.  But on the Dell Dimension the option is grayed out.  How can I enable this option?
