Reports spreading across the web that Intel Macs can't boot Windows XP might be inaccurate. Intel Australia, while being careful not to comment on Apple's hardware specifically, says motherboards based on the Intel 945 chipset already support EFI and can boot Windows with no problems. The key appears to be whether Apple has included a "compatibility support module". Explored in more depth

Dude, that's pretty hardcore. I find myself straining to use the full 24 inches on my 2405FPW.
2405FPW? Same as all mine:) got 11 of them. Now waiting for 30" to test it.
I can fit three 80 character windows across the thing --- what more could you want?
Yes, it is a strain. I agree. But nature of my job demands it. I need too many windows to be able to switch between them, so I need environment like that to be effective. I can't imagine my self opening and seting windows I need every day. Or connecting to 50 servers I support. It is easier to initiate connection and never leave:)
And... Yes, I know you do, 99.9% of people thinks like that (and they are 100% right), but what I do is coding client-server clustered special services and apps and server maintenance. I hardly setup decent testing and coding environment on 2 desktops (4x24" monitors), to be informative enough (as in, a lot of console outputs, and each one serving its own purpose) to be usable and in the same time to be able to write code without any overlapped windows. Mostly I just set machine, run specific software and then rather move between computers than switch software (:few machines of mine were replaced when first time rebooted, running single instance of one software for whole lifetime:). For example, one is for Gimp only. One is for surfing and mailing only. Although I don't do that at home a lot. I only do that when I'm maintaing on-site and wait. Its more or less like, I just got too lazy with time.
The only computer without 2 screens is G5. Using Mac and two monitors is a pain. Or better said frequent mouse milleage to reach for menu on the second screen.
