I have the Dell Inspiron 8100 with a 15 inch UXGA (1600x1200) screen
and a ATI Radeon 7500 64mb card. I love it! I installed Red Hat 7.2 and
everything worked perfectly, even DRI and GLX, which was something I was
having problems configuring on an older PC I own.
I originally had a Sony with a 15 inch 1024*768 screen, I returned
it because I'm accustomed to working on screens with 1600x1200.
