Dell 24" and bootcamp enquiry.

[MRU]

I remember reading some threads a good while ago about problems with the 24" displays on bootcamp, and wondered if they had been corrected as yet.

I have ordered a 24" dell and would like to know if its compatible, or will I need to keep my 20" ACD plugged in.

Many thanks

I use a Dell 2407WFP in both OSX and XP under Boot Camp with no problems.

If I remember there was an issue with the 24" iMacs booting with a black screen under Boot Camp.

I remembered somthing about it, and couldnt remember the overall gist and what monitors were affected.

No problems here either, Being able to surf the Web in portrait mode is SWEET, although I do occasionally get a sore neck from looking up Hopefully Leopard will allow portrait mode on the Mac side of things.

You can already do this... In the displays sections of the system preferences you can rotate your display.

You sure about that? Apparenly this features works only with the ATI cards. I have Nvida in My Mac Pro and this option is not available.

i have an nvidia card too in my pb but there is no option for it =\. Is there any freeware or new drivers etc that could get portrait to work? Thanks!
