Too bad that:

1) ATi drivers in Linux aren't too terribly great. God I wish they were as good as the nVidia drivers
2) Support for my favorite games (WoW and CS:Source) from what I know is iffy under Linux

Otherwise there'd be a good chance of me using Linux as my primary OS.

Btw dumb question. Why can't I get a wallpaper to stretch across two screens? If I select center it puts the same wallpaper on both screens but cuts it off since neither has the resolution to handle it or if I select stretch it puts the same wallpaper on both screens.

I hear you can get CS:S/WoW going pretty well with Cedega these days, but yeah, not with the ATI drivers. ;)

I had an R9100 prior to my 5900XT and had nothing but problems with the ATI drivers. Fortunately my card was supported by DRI.

I've thought of getting that Saitek keyboard...what do you think of it? I'm still using some 7 year old keyboard with a gateway logo.

As for my desktop..its just the windows classic theme with no pic or icons...nothing to show.

I would recommend the keyboard to anyone, its designed specifically for gamers but I don't see why it won't be good for someone else to. I especially like the keyword because of the fact that it's constructed very well, and is also quite compact. It also has a cool blue LED lighting behind the keys which looks really cool that night but you can always turn it off. I used to have the Microsoft wireless keyboard, but I hated it because it was unresponsive and very bulky. Thus far, it's the best keyboard I've ever had especially for gaming. The buttons are very silent and its has just enough resistance to feel good when you're typing. Although I have to admit, that I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking 8 Pro for typing assays for school, which totally destroys typing on a keyboard. Check out some reviews online it's gotten pretty good feedback.
