Question to Acer Ferrari 4000 Owners

Sorry for being slightly off topic (it still has to do with Win64 though).
Ok, so on my desktop I have now gone 64 bits 100%, (no dual boot to 32 bit
what so ever), and everything works flawlessly.

I now want to do the same on my laptop and Iam thinking of getting an Acer
Ferrari 4000. I know there are a couple of guys/girls here using that laptop.
I will be using the laptop for presentations and I just wonder if Fn-F5 to
send output to external projector works with whatever video drivers there
are for the 4000 and xp64? I'm asking 'cause I saw somewhere else someone
having problem with the 4000 and doing this (this was with Vista Server though).

Thanks!!

Mine does fine via the dvi port to a plasma screen for work at home. I
found a plasma.inf that set it to the right resolution (something like
852 x 480).

The interface for switching screen output is a bit bizarre, but once you
figure it out, yes it works just fine. I regularly switch to send output to
the DVI port.
