    How much

    Prices seem reasonable. US Dollar isn't worth much these days.

    Just asked, and according to Nick[FM], Advanced and Pro customers have access to FM downloads, but depending on the demand, big mirrors may have more bandwidth available than our download site.

    Am i right that the most popular widescreen resolution of 1440 x 900 won't be supported for use on the orb? Seems daft theres a huge amount of 19" pannels shipped with lower end systems now, if anything drop the lower 4:3 resolutions??

    1440x900 is mostly laptops and *very* cheap standalone displays. Very few laptops can even run the benchmark.

    1680x1050 is what most cheap displays sold today are, and 1920x1200 is what most high end (24"+) widescreen displays are.

    I just looked at the selection in couple of local stores, and could find no 1440x900 19" wides on sale any more.
