- 2560x1600 is nice

- you need a video card that supports dual link DVI (this is one DVI 
  connector with two signal channels).  No integrated video controllers
  do this as far as I know.  Most ATI x1000 and nVidia 7000 series
  have this, but do check.

- There is only one input, DVI.

The Dell 24" monitor is quite nice, makes fewer demands on the system,
and is cheaper.  It also supports a lot of different inputs (VGA,
composite, DVI-d, S-Video, component).  But it only does 1920x1200.

I have both monitors.  I use the 30" as my primary monitor.  I can never 
go back.
