Of course the GeForce 7800 on the Dell E1705 supports two monitors....
The GeForce 7800 (Now this GPU comes standard and the 7900 GS is only about $117 more) is a much better GPU then the ATI X1400 on the MacBook Pro I would have to say at least 10% because http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=237&type=expert
says that the "Go 7900 GTX [is] 14% faster than Radeon Mobility X1800XT in 3DMark 05"
Both of these GPUs bing the next step up i believe.
Windows XP can run on a core duo machine. The BIOS is not different. Apple chose to use a different boot loader on their machines. (you can run windows xp with bootcamp anyways)
For anyone wishing to play games the Dell wins hands down even if you installed XP on the Mac.
"My experience is that Windows really isn't adequate for most people. My roommate has had his laptop for about a year, and even given that he really only uses iTunes and Firefox, he regularly encounters problems that he isn't equipped to solve. Things are just simpler on Mac OS X."
-This doesn't make any sense something being adequate and not working as expected are two different things. Also saying that windows "isn't adequate" and "Things are just simpler on Mac OS X" is a contradiction I believe your problem would be Windows is too much more than adequate.
It is actually kind of interesting to read the uninformed comments and the odd remark in the actual post about the dell not supporting a second monitor. I hope people will become informed about their computers and for some reason mac owners don't seem to be. Honestly I would love a MacBook Pro but I would need a windows computer also.
P.S.
I don't care if Tiger allows the user to dig down deep into the system I don't think the majority of mac users actually do it.
