I was tempted by the 17" at first. But at the last minute I decided to do the 20", and could not be happier. I have the Dell FP2001 with the spanning hack connected and it is a great setup.

As you can see, I have a 64MB card, powering two screens, 32MB per screen.
You do not have to reboot to get all memory back to one disply if you disconnect your secondary.
Thats odd... I just unpluged my iBook from my display and this iis what comes up:
ATY,RV280M9+:
Type: display
Bus: AGP
VRAM (Total): 32 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x5c63
Revision ID: 0x0001
ROM Revision: 113-xxxxx-115
Display:
Type: display
Display Type: LCD
VRAM (In Use): 32 MB
Resolution: 1024 x 768
Depth: 32-bit Color
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off
Online: Yes
ATY,Via_B:
Status: No display connected
No restart required for me. Also, I thought on the game that you play you can chose which display to not power and which one to power... On Sim City 4 it just makes the display black. If you have a laptop you can also run it under clamshell mode too. which helps a lot.

It's easy. Here are Apple's own instructions for the latest 20 inch iMac which we call a Rev. B (and it's the same method for the older G5 iMacs too AFAIK).

Not at all! Just got 2x1gb sticks from CompUSA (couldn't resist, they had Centron memory listed at $140 AFTER rebate, but the sign they had up did not state after rebate - so I talked with the manager and got it at the $140 price, plus I was in DE - so no tax!). I was impressed at the ease of getting inside the iMac. No loose screws! On my 20" 2.0ghz iMac the one side of the memory latches was a little "tight" for space (no problem, but the latches did not have the movement that most of us are used too). Very easy install.

Great setup. My ex and I had a similar desk. Wish I could have made it work in my new place. I had to take the "smaller" desk instead. I miss the work space. But I am a bit neater now.

The iMac G5 blew me a way with how easy it was to open it up and up the memory.
OCW is a great source for Mac memory and they don't play browser games with pricing.
