Actually if all you want is a nice sharp full colour resolution, 21ms would be enough, but for price difference, you may as well go with 12. I spend many hours (not on a freebsd machine) playing half-life, counter-strike, Tiger Woods, with all settings turned on full, with a 16ms monitor. It looks great. Sure, I would be able to notice the difference if i got one of the new 8ms or 6ms, but hey, that's because of the games I'm playing. So rest assured 12ms will meet your needs. Hope that helps.
