I know several people who are > using such a configuration. You've obviously never burnt out a monitor :-( Running monitors out of spec *does* damage monitors. It may not do too much harm for a brief period of time when booting, but what happens if you have a power fail in the middle of the night, and something hangs? In addition, even a brief period of time out of spec could burn out some monitors. *Do* worry. Greg
