Bruce, are you sure you have the display set at 1280 X 1024 at millions?
Anything less will usually result in less than optimal text rendering.

I have a 17" Studio Display hooked up to a 1 Ghz Powerbook and it renders
text really sharp. I have it set so text smoothing begins at 9 and is at
medium - best for flat panel.
