Windows cant seem to tell what monitor I am using and I think might be the
cause of my blurry text.
It found the video card without a problem however for monitor it just says
"generic PnP" any advice here?

Same story for my sound which I am using the motherboard sound devices for.
Windows cant find it and I cant install drivers becuase the driver program
doesnt know what operating system this is...;)
 
I believe that most of us are using "peneric PnP" I am using a Dell monitor
that had a specific profile under XP, same with my SGI...but they are
generic under Vista, needless to say Dell has NO info regarding this monitor
on their site.
 
I do have CRT, tried what you suggested, not much difference.
Plans to buy a LCD this weekend anyway for other reasons so knowing this is
helpful thanks.

What resolution are you running at? I found that running at 1024x768 with
8 point screen fonts was very blurry. Increasing the resolution to
1280x960 and using the default Segoe UI font with ClearType enable was
almost readable again. I do wish that Avalon would use the XP method of
displaying fonts at smaller sizes though.
 
Increasing the resolution helped a ton!
In fact I took it one more step and ran out and replaced my old CRT with a
21' flat widescreen from samsung and it changed my entire experience!
Running at the highest res which gave me a low 56hz refresh I seemed to
notice flicker but not anymore (perhaps it autocorrected).
What I found intresting is that even running one level lower then the
highest level for this monitor made everything look dramatically less crisp.
It could be becuase its a widescreen and any resolution that doesnt fit the
same ratio looks odd.

Now everything looks as if its running on a Mac. fantastic!

Now if the guys at asus can get my onboard audio working I will be all set.
