What are pipelines and how do they effect the display. Also what is ghosting and are artifacts, and what causes them? Sorry for such ignorant questions, I cant get a strait answer. Please don't give me too much flak for this.
 
Pipelines are a part of a video card's chipset architecture if I'm not mistaken... basically just know that the more you have, the better. ;)

Ghosting is a phenomenon that can occur on LCD displays when the response time of a panel can't keep up with a moving image being displayed. It causes the image to become blurry. It's a problem that plagued older LCD's, but isn't so much an issue in newer panels used today. If your panel has a low response time, (25ms or less) you should be fine. Ghosting has to do with your monitor, not your videocard

Artifacting is a general term for any sort of visual corruption with an image. For example: if you overclock your videocard too high, you may notice white dots all over your screen. You would call these dots "artifacts," which would indicate that you're pushing your card too far. Artifacting is usually a videocard issue, not a monitor issue.

Hope that helped.
