I suggest the ultimate system should include the monitors as well. Actually, my theoretical ultimate system is the opposite of the other one in the forum. I know what monitors I want, and what OS, but I don't know what card! In fact, I believe it is currently impossible to drive this ultimate-ultimate system:
Dual Dell 2000FP 1600x1200 LCD monitors $1350... driven at 60Hz over _DVI_ for crispest picture... On Windows XP Pro... With dual Athlon processors...
Driving this would need either a fat AGP card (maybe the GeForce4 on Feb 4 will do it) or _PCI_ cards with 1600x1200 DVI output with drivers that can cope with 2 cards. As best I can tell, all current cards fall short.
