I can type nearly 200 words a minute. But yeah, I downloaded the latest drivers.

Actually, yes. It's for a client, and its really CPU and GPU intensive. The extra Ram is not really required but Ram is cheap and it helps with Windows performance.

The machine itself is fine - its the OS that sucks. I wish I could run OS/X on it. To Alienware's credit, it's a nice computer. Nice case, runs cool, and quieter than I expected.

Normally yes, but its a special app that would only run on high end PC's anyway, and this machine is almost the same as what the client has, except that his Graphics card is is different, and he has 2 of them.

I'm not sure what you're having problems with Mark... but setting up a multi-monitor display in Windows is ridiculously easy. Perhaps you're just so used to MAC removing your input from the setup process?

First I agree with you - when I was running windows on PC's years ago, I had 3 and sometimes 4 monitors all connected at the same time, with a variety of different cards too. Really easy to setup and use.
But maybe its just this particular graphics card. #1, it didn't always see the other monitor. The card itself has a PCI connector, 1 standard HDMI connector, and 3 other connectors. My primary monitor in the PCI connector worked but the HDMI did not. While debugging, I disconnected the PCI monitor completely and tried running from HDMI, which initially failed, but eventually worked, after rebooting. (On a Mac, adding and removing monitors is sensed by the OS and things adjust instantly, but not on Windows apparently, which prompted my post).
But anyway, in the end I got everything worked out. I still think Windows sucks. Partly because it does, and partly because I'm so used to Mac.
Peace.
