Oh please :p I'm 17, have large amounts of spare cash, and am part of the
LAN community. Do you really think I don't have the thing that everyone is
slavering for?
However, 3 of my machines have G400's in them. I much prefer sitting in
front of those for long periods for essentially all the reasons Gary Peake
has stated. At least I don't have to put up with the sound of a jet taking
off everytime I use my main games machine.
I have seen and used both Dualhead and Twinview and Dualhead seems to work
better. I am no expert, but it seemed both easier and more transparent,
than Twinview which seemed a lot like a novelty.
I am personally glad that Amiga was able to partner with Matrox, rather than
anyone else. The Amiga is not going to break into the games market at the
snap of your fingers, so we can afford to wait for nVidia drivers, which
really only service a small amount of the computer public.
