Re: On my desktop, I have 2 22" monitors set to 2048 by 1536 extended desktop

Have you tried a dual head card? I have a Matrox G550 which gives me 3200x1200 spread across my two Samsung 210Ts.

By extended desktop, do you mean a virtual screen that's larger than the physical screen? I'm not as comfortable with that configuration, but I know some people who like it.

On another note, we're hitting the 2gig to 3gig effective limit of 32-bit processors like PIII, P4, Athlon, etc. (windows limits apps to 2gig of memory and hardware addresses lock up 1/2 gig to one gig of physical addresses - advanced server can use 3 gig, but isn't appropriate for a workstation). Do you think there's a snowball's chance in hell that Dell will pick up Athlon-64 for workstations? How about a snowflake's?

Intel Cuts Prices on Its Chips Up to 52 Percent

Tue Sep 3, 7:45 PM ET

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Intel Corp. cut prices on its microprocessors by as much as 52 percent over the U.S. holiday weekend as the world's largest chipmaker makes room for faster chips and passes on manufacturing efficiencies to customers.

The price cuts, made on Sunday, come less than a week after Intel introduced its fastest Pentium 4 to date, running at 2.8 gigahertz, or 2.8 billion clicks per second. Intel, for example, cut the price of its Pentium 4 chip running at 2.4 gigahertz by 52 percent to $193 from $400 each, in lots of 1,000.

The price cuts, which were largely expected and typically come within a week or so of a new chip introduction, follow price cuts by its chief rival in the market for microprocessors, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. , on August 21. Intel unveiled its 2.8 gigahertz Pentium 4 on August 26.

Intel also pared prices on its Pentium 4 chip operating at 2.4 gigahertz and 2.26 gigahertz by 20 percent. The 2.4 gigahertz and 2.26 gigahertz chips now cost $193, down from $241.
