Not super geeky, main desk has a monitor on a KVM with the house file/print server. I plug my laptop into that monitor regularly but I mostly just use my laptop for school work (Toshiba 2.4 GHz core 2 duo, 4 GB RAM) and the wife has the same.. My setup at work is another story

That is great. If they do a remake for whatever reason, he could be Boris easily.

That's good to hear about the video card... 22"-24" monitors are so cheap now, it's curious why more people don't run them. I know that ecost/tigerdirect/geeks has 24" all the time for $200, and 22" ones in the $150 range. Anybody want to recommend a dirt cheap dual DVI card or have one laying around they'll sell me.

I've never really understood about a lot of people that have more than one monitor. What exactly do you use them for? Why so much desktop space? I understand what its for, but I see a lot of people who don't do anything to really need them. My single 24'' has always done well enough for me. If I could add height and width, that would be nice, do a 24'' cube with 4 monitors.
Not sure what you classify as dirt cheap, but you can get 5770's in the $150-$175 range. Some have dual DVI. Or an older 4870 like I have has dual VI as well. They are also in the same price range.

For example: I often refer to drawings or datasheets for information and dont want to print them out. It sucks to alt-tab back and forth--especially with Pro/E because it's ******* stupid and has multiple windows and can't seem to remember which one I was last using.
