You need a monster graphics card for this thing. I learned this lesson the last time, trying to drive my 19" CRT with my rev a Ti PowerBook. Not enough GPU! So I opted for the 9800 Pro thinking that all would be well. Sad thing is, I've seen some windows tear while being dragged (not LCD motion blur). I hope the graphics card can push the pixels! Only time will tell.
I don't quite understand what you mean by this, the 9600/9800 should be plenty. At home I have a 21"(1600x1200) sony crt and 15"lcd hooked up to a G4 933 with a geforce 4MX card, and it's fine.
Xool. Let us know how the dual 2 gigger 'snap, zip, crackle and pop' goes. Seen the case in the flesh! GORGEOUS! I played with a 1.6 G5 on Saturday. Tried a 1000 dpi document with a 200 brush. It choked. Well, not really. But it just couldn't keep up with the cursor!
If it was in a store it probably had the anorexic allotment of RAM that Apple ships it with.

So uncluttered.
This is the strip of ports (notice the distinctly BLUE light)

And, last but not least, my $3000 purchase with me in the Applestore.
I hope you enjoyed those, but keep in mind that photos do no justice.

I double his age, but sure he doubles me in processor power

Bandwidth ain't worth jack if you're swapping.

The machine seems a little more shaky than on my iBook- have had some apps crash (Safari several times, VLC seems to misbehave).
Runs Unreal Tournament 2003 Demo well (averaging around 40 fps at 1280x960 with all details and decals set to highest).
