    Pity, this nice PC does not have a dedicated GFX card, so no dual monitors either :((

      the pitiable bandwidth makes them suck for anything other than static text, it makes PCI cards look good. X| Assuming that USB3.0 lives up to it's hype it might become a viable option in a few years, but at present isn't viable.

          I'd been told they lagged noticeably on such highly gpu intensive actions as scrolling a page.

            Didn't xacc.ide used bitstream (because that's probably how I learned about bitstream).

            I think I might have included it as a backup font IIRC, jeez it's been so many years... I hardly spend time on it since VS2008 finally caught up (and decided to give away their IDE for free).

                So I got my laptop replacement desktop today. Nice fast CPU/harddisk. Screen not so nice. 19" Wide Samsung N933 (not sure about that model nr, but the link is correct)[^] , with a shocking resolution of 1360 x 768. That equates to 35 lines of code you can see on screen, and a 80DPI :sigh: Update: my font size is already 9pt Consolas. The font degrades when going smaller than that :( Update 2: Ahh crap! Looks like the CPU is an el cheapo too... http://techgage.com/article/intel_pentium_dual-core_e5200/3[^] :sigh:

                That's a great combo on my laptop with 1280x800.

                  standard D series dock (no internal expansion slot). It has 1 analog vga port and one 1 DVI-D. I believe it is this model: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Docking_Station/productdetail.aspx?c=ca&l=en&s=gen&sku=310-7704&~lt=popup&~ck=XYRelated[^] and I was shocked to discover it was a DVI-D port myself.

                  aye wtf, that link states several times it has a "DVI" port. It is so hard to get people to produce accurate data for websites.

                      Looks like it. I am starting to get worried. - crap screen - out of production hard drive - el cheapo CPU - probably slow ram I did notice builds were slow...

                      Look on the bright side -- any code you write, which works OK on your "new" machine, will go like sh*t off a shovel on your customers' machines!
