Its been a while and a ton of testing later
Took the advise and proceeded to get this underway.
Ended up finding a 6870 and flashed it with ATOM. It took longer to create a msdos boot disk than to actually flash the card.
Installed win7+gm on 3TB SSD.. also grabed another 3tb SSD and installed GA
Played around with the windows drivers and VMM and gave a few games a whirl.
I noticed I had a gap on the right hand size in Win7+GM .. that gap also existed on GA ... and after flashing the card, it also exists on the bios screen.
So I thought, it must be the dials on the back and proceeded to play around
Suffice to say, I have made things infinitely worse. I get WIN7+GM looking sweet, only to have something else flying up and down the screen.

So I have done a ton of reading and gotten no-where ... I seem to have a sweet bend on the right hand side and the top seems to overlap itself, things like galaga, the highscore at the top is cut in half.
I think I need to get some kind of test pattern to the screen where I can jerk with all the dials to get it right first .. then get Win and Groovy to play nice.
Ive seen the other posts about the monitor specs for the ini file and I think I can create profiles in Win through the video card software.
Ill keep playing around
This forum is amazing, so much info, makes things a lot easier to destroy
