The G35 board is coming out next week, the Q35 board ("corporate" version of
G35), DQ35JO, is already out and has a VGA + DVI configuration.

The G35 *MIGHT* have dual DVI, but I'm betting on VGA + DVI.

I really like your suggestion of going with a G35 w/ integrated video!!!
That would save some $$ and reduce power needs. The only problem is that
I'm now running two 20-inch flat screens. Since I do that at work too, I
doubt if even a big 30inch would be enough, not even considering that I'd
have to buy another screen and pitch these. Will that Intel run two
displays? I'm going to go check it out now.
Thanks for the good suggestion...I will get that E6850, too.

slightly faster on dual core, insignificant on quad.
Get the best chip out there, which is damn cheap as well - the Core2Duo
E6850. 3Ghz, 1333mhz FSB, and ~$270 retail. It's the most significant band
for the buck for the masses since the overclocked Celeron 300A. Seriously,
nothing else comes remotely close for price/performance - actually, for
desktop use, there is nothing that surpasses it's performance, period.
Get that chip and put in on an Intel retail G35 desktop board w/
integrated video. It will have DVI out and you will be pleasantly
surprised how fast that is for 3d (DX10, hardware T&L, as fast as entry
level ATI/NVidia DX10 parts). If you decide to get hardcore into gaming,
the g35 chipset has a x16 PCIe slot for an upgrade.

Ok...if you're going to drop a bit of coin (notice I said a bit) for a
new box, is it better to go quad or dual core? Anyone have any
real-world experience? Thx.
