    Dual booting Ubuntu and windows 7

    Sorry for the late reply went camping last night just got back, the idea of the 50/50 split on the SSD would it be 3 partitions so more likely to be 60gb 60gb and 8 gb the smaller being the boot configuration data partition , or will 50/50 suffice

    Two 22"s or One 27"?

    Personally depends on what your using the pc for, gaming on dual monitors is a pain as your char is always in the bezel on full screen, i would go with 3x 22 rather than 1 panel where gaming is concerned but if gaming is not the case than 2 x22 over 1 big panel
