    Might be a coincidence. Comcast is in the process of upgrading speeds, and I've had a few speedtest.net readings of 3Mps up recently.

    You used ONLY the NVS driver and not the GeForce one?

  3. Yes, I did spend another $10.00 ( over the basic $42.95 service ) for the "Blast" service that gives "Up To 16 MB's" on download.

    Anyone that is already on the "Performance Plus" service ( which is "Up To 12 MB's on download and $52.95 ) will be automatically switched over to the "Blast" service at no extra charge on Feb. 22nd.

    :)

    Am currently obtaining 5.1 MB on the download across the country to NYC Speakeasy servers and 3.1 MB on the upload ( with my router connected ).

    Dual 8800s for trading... that cracks me up!

    But hey, the 9800s are just around the corner... how about selling me some of your 8800s cheap when you upgrade?

    (We all KNOW you're going to... it's OK to admit it... Only question is "who's going to do it first... you or nitro"?) :D

    Are dual monitor cards available with Vostro line or stay with Precision?

    Extended Desktop (multi-monitor) is a Windows function. Any rig will run up to 10 monitors if you have the mobo slots for the video cards, Vostro included. However, if you have more than one video card, they need to be compatible with each other.

  10. I have a Vostro-400.
    It came with a dual-dvi output GeForce8600 GTS graphics card in the PCI-Express x16 slot. It also comes with 2 "regular" PCI slots, and 1 PCI-Express x1 slot.
