Im going to be buying a seperate monitor for my 12 inch powerbook (1.5,512,64 vid) from newegg (apple displays are way too much money). I would like to get a 19 inch display but am not sure how well my PB would work with it. I am hoping to use it as dual display so what size would everyone recomend or what size do they currently use (17,19, dual display or just the monitor). Thanks!

Your PB should work fine with an external monitor of that size (I've got the same PB). I use a Dell 2005FPW (20 inch widescreen) in clamshell mode most of the time and it works great. There's a LOT more space to do stuff and it helps my productivity by being able to keep stuff side by side instead of switching foreground windows.

I wonder how long it will be before Apple decides to increase the resolution in the displays of their Powerbooks? It seems like they've had the same specs (screen wise) for ages...

But it might just be me wishing...

The documentation of the new PBs mentions PowerBooks with higher resolution. They have probably cancelled the model at the last minute. I guess we'll see this happen with the Intel PowerBooks next year.
