1. If you get a motherboard with integrated video (i.e. Intel 845g) and install an AGP video card, can you use the AGP card as primary video and the integrated chip as secondary video for a dual monitor setup? And to go even further, if the AGP video card supports dual video output, can you then run three monitors using the integrated video?

2. Which motherboard types (P4 chipsets) natively support DDR333mhz RAM? And which of these support more than 2 slots of DDR333 ram?

3. What size power supply is adequate for running a new P4 computer and why would you want more?

Thanks for any insights you could provide!
 
1) No. You can't have more than one AGP device at any one time. The integrated VGA will disable as soon as you plug an AGP card. If you plug a PCI card, it stays.

So only the SiS chipsets support DDR333 ram natively?

Intel and Via don't have anything out that will (for P4's)? How about upcoming chipsets too? Anything announced by Intel that will?
 
Hmm.. that seems like such an important upgrade to be left out of Intel's motherboards, especially after their announcement that they will be discontinuing support for RDRAM in future motherboards.

Is there really a huge (noticeable) difference when you upgrade from PC2100 (266mhz) to PC2700 (333mhz) ram? What kinds of applications would show the biggest improvement?

OS? Games? 3D rendering? .. pretty much everything, huh?

Why wouldn't Intel be on that bandwagon?
