Open Office &amp; VGA okay? Assuming that fn+4 is the correct key combination, what has your experience been, and is it better in the 8G model?

1 - You shouldn't have any trouble converting between Microsoft and OpenOffice file formats. Please note though, some people imbed videos in their PPT files and Linux has to jump through a few hoops before it will play well with Apple's and Microsoft's proprietary video formats. Beyond that, you should have zero problems here. 2 - The Eee does indeed have a VGA port and you ought to be able to hook up to any projector you like. 3 - I'm not sure about this, but it may be as simple as using a different keystroke in Impress than the one you would use in PowerPoint.

no key, they did god on window. But they mirroed in 64 bit, that failed, I had to change it back to the 32 bit it origanlly was. It still works fine. The mother board can only use 4 ram, even though it has 8 ram in it

Using internal graphics as this board is in an ESXi server for some home VM testing. Honestly there are better boards out there I only got this as it is a reference board and should have universal compatibility with VMware

Sorry. I've never done dual VGA board setups. ASUS specs list both but no idea how well in practice.

I'll be honest... I didn't even check FRU... Mine is a T61 Widescreen and I just went for it... lol... It works fine, I get about 2.5 hours out of it. Not "awesome" but suitable for me. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

According to their web site: UXGA (1600 x 1200 pixels) at 1 fps This is only available through the Admin account; not Friend accounts. VGA (640 x 480 pixels) at 4 fps QVGA (320 x 240 pixels) at 8 fps

E. Marcucci, I was had a similar situation where I wanted to run real Windows applications. I originally purchased Parallels because I really like the graphic implementation however after 2 unexpected crashes I ended up returning it. The biggest problem I had with Parallels is they have horrid support. Honestly, the support is what really did me in. When I posted to the Parallels I never got a straight answer from a Parallel employee. I ended up sending a private message to one I found and he was helpful but it was a little late. Additionally, e-mail support was terrible and could never get a straight answer about how to return the product. I went with VMWare and have been happy. I was able to successfully use VMWare converter that converted my old Thinkpad laptop to a VMWare image and dump it on the Mac. It work with it every day. My company only support Windows operating system and never had any problem with the converted image. This is one opinion but the choice is yours. Parallels lost a customer with their lack of product support. Thanks

Should not be a problem. Gives you suggestions though. Keep using Microsoft software with this computer. When you first turn it on use the Microsoft windows licence registration coded that should have been on the computers case. Only the win64 codes will work. This is a fine fast machine that uses a VGA monitor connection. Good luck

I'm currently running all the c&c; versions on my 8.1 laptop.. Works fine.. happy gaming.

It depends on what version (Vista is up to 5.9 - Windows 7 is up to 7.9). I use 7 Prox64. I do not recall when I ran it. The only reason why I removed it was because it allows up to 2 monitors only. Either 2 DVI or 1 DVI and 1 HDMI. I liked it though but I have a 3 monitors configuration. I may be wrong but in windows 7 it was over 5 in the index (not bad). I also have 32GB Ram and 2 quad cores running at 2.5 (opteron) so I am not sure if that affects the results.

I bought that one as well and returned it. From what i gathered in the emails I received was that not all devices that support slimport do so with vga. I went with the hdmi version for my nexus and it worked perfectly until a student broke it.

Thanks everyone for all your feedback. It has been very useful. I think I will go with this, in order to avoid compatibility issues with my documents, even though my word and excel docs are not too complicated, but googledocs has been limiting...I think I can handle a boot time of < 30 secs with Windows 8. So, I will shoot for that, and see how it goes... Traditionally, I have chosen to stay away from new Windows releases, to give Microsoft a chance to iron out the bugs... but, it looks like this one isn't too bad... :-)Thanks again.Mike.

The graphics on the 2.0Ghz model are perfectly fine for your purposes. I have one of these machines and it is excellent for just what you plan to do. Enjoy!

It is not AGP. I have two of these boards. One running Fedora 19 and One running Windows XP. I used NVidia 8600 GTS and 8800, can't remember the letters on the 8800.On the ram it says you can. I did not do it. I have 4 X 1GB in both machines. Board has multiple speeds. On one board I am running DDR2 667 the other is DDR2 800.It definitely is not quad channel. It may be dual channel but I cannot tell you that. I used the cheapest generic 4 x 1GB memory I could find.

I like my EVGA GeForce GT 610 I watch a lot of videos too, looks great. One warning make sure you know how work with windows fonts, they changed when I installed the card. I'm using 8.1 though
