Marketing jargon. Toyota brands its Camrys in trim levels like CE, SE, LE,
XLE, etc. for the same reason.

Nope. The monitor cable remains the same. Communication between two (or

SLI in Quad Environment Question

Quad 8800GTX? Dell's web site shows a conventional dual 8800GTX SLI as the
top-end configuration. The fact that your box has only 4 DVI outputs (2 per

I thought all ATi cards from the X1600 and up had different 2D/3D clock
