Those are really nice monitors.

<-- Would like one. 17" @ 1280x1024x60Hz isn't that great

I'm having major hassles with XP running dualmon, so I'm gonna give 2k a go today. it's going on my new system I got last week:

Asus motherboard P4 1.6 (sweet fast boot time)
512 DDR RAM
2 USB 1 and 2 USB 2 slots
40 GB hd (think it's 7200 speed)
24x10x40 CD-RW drive
ATI AIW Radeon card, video in, out, 5.1 support, 32MB DDR RAM
nvidia Vanta 16MB PCI card for 2nd monitor
2 17" mitsubishi monitors
Sound Blaster Live 5.1 audio card
250 MB zip drive
Linksys 4 port router

the box is sitting next to my dependable gray Mac G3 (which is what I've been using to access tribe!)

it'll be a sweet system when I get it working. I'm not sure what your internet connection is, but I use sympatico hs, and by having the router I've noticed about a +20k speed increase and access manager isn't required anymore. if you're looking for another upgrade maybe there's an option for ya.

atomic, what kind of Asus motherboard is that?
And is that a Northwood P4 you got? (1.6A?)

Yeah, I was using the 775FT at work for a bit, and that convinced me that I had to get the 915 for myself. It cost about $500 at WinTel computers

the box says it's a P4B266-C... I'm afraid I don't know if that means anything, but it says it's upgradeable to 2.2 GHz and it's Northwood ready.

 

[Redout]
