That would be the SGI multilink adapter. Which... works. Kinda. Well, okay, I'll be more blunt: when taking analog input, it just plain sucks -- it's amazing how utterly disgusting a perfectly beautiful LCD panel can look when it's driven with analog input. Which is why I scoff at (most) all of the LCD panels at CompUSA -- the vast majority -only- have analog input. Unless you are buying an LCD panel for form-factor reasons ONLY, do not EVER consider buying one that doesn't have a DVI input. It's like night and day, and I'm not exaggerating. As for digital input, I haven't found many video cards that output 1600x1024 in digital mode. (IIRC, the GeForce 3 did, but it was in the vast minority.) Didn't look too hard, I'll grant you, but they're few and far between. To my surprise, there -is- a difference between what most cards can drive in analog mode, and what they can drive in digital mode. $.02, -Ken ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
