Uh, Matt, I count four ideas. That's "some", or maybe the higher end of
"few", but definitely is also a "handful". "Couple?" Nah.

Couple of ideas:
1. Make sure all of your Dell supplied drivers, esp the chipset, are up to
date.
2. Make sure the firmware is up to date.
3. Get the latest Quadro video drivers from nVidia, not Dell.
4. In the display driver control panel, make sure Vertical Sync is forced
off at
all times.
