Need a HOT system. K7 and Linux?
9) Please don't shoot me, but is anything bigger than a 17" monitor
worth
it?

Depends on how myopic you are. X seems to eat more resolution than
windows. (XMille needs > 1024x768 to fit on the screen!!!) I am
interested in running cad/eda type stuff so I needed more than
1024x768 (which is about the limit for a 17" unless you have real good
eyes and a dot pitch of < .24). I just got a 19" monitor (Digital
Research Tech.) from a computer city store that was going under. (they
were taken over by comp usa). The current street price for this was
$499, but it was reduced to $468, and D.R.T. had a $100 mail in
rebate. So $368 ain't bad for a 19". BTW this is a .26 dot pitch,
looks great in 1280x1024 will do 1600x1200 (but my video card
won't---don't push it that far thou it will hurt your eyes!)
