You can have the 8200 with P4 up to 2.0 GHz at present. http://www.dell.com/us/en/dhs/products/model_inspn_1_inspn_8200.htm But the point is 3D acceleration in my case. Having the large 1600x1200 screen is nice per se for progam development and having many different windows etc etc. But for developing OpenGL graphics applications it would be nice to take full advantage of the GeForce2 or GeForce4 chip. And this is a major drawback at present with FreeBSD and the driver project doesn't get right on, does it? -- Chris Christoph P. U.
