The Radeon works fine as the only monitor. I can live without seeing the first 75% of the boot process. After that, everything (HD icons, menubar, apps, etc) shows up fine with no indication of a 2nd monitor on the onboard video. The mouse doesn't go past one edge of the screen, etc. I am mostly concerned with the speed of the video. Len -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
