[QUOTE="Cagedfatkid, post: 1268858, member: 208141"] I am planning to become a switcher. Used windows all my life but im done with that garbage. Buying a laptop or 2 every year has gotten old and expensive. I want to buy a desktop computer that will last me at least 5-10 years. Furtureproofing! What is the big differnce betweent he following: 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon "Nahalem" VS 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon "Nahalem" 1 TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3GB/s hard drive VS 512GB SSD ATI Radeon HD 5770 1 GB VS Two ATI Radeon HD 5770 1 GB I have already an external 3TB hard drive. So I really dont need 1 TB internal. I wanted to know if the 512GB SSD is acutally worth the extra $1,400. Is there any added benefits to having 2 of the graphics cards instead of one? I will only be using 1 moniter, possibly 2 at the most. How big of a difference is the speed in the processors? Any recommendations of white moniters(non apple)? I cannot find one. [/QUOTE]
