A really good, detailed summary of Atom. Even if you aren't interested in the vageries of the RSS format battles, these slides are very instructive on the subtleties of defining a format or protocol.

Setting up a two-LCD display - techie FYI. I just reconfigured my 2-head setup. I did (a little) research, looking for a display adapter that would support two digital 1600x1200 pixel LCDs. I settled on a Matrox Parhelia. It meets my requirements. So far, very nice. One caveat which was a surprise, and I didn't think to ask: with this board at least, both digital outs have to be at the same resolution. If the two displays have different capabilities (like mine do) then you have to run it at the lower of the two. Bummer. Workaround: if you run with one LCD in digital and the other in Analog mode, then this restriction is lifted. That's what I am doing.
