I wish I wasn't broke right now, combine these latest XEON processors with the new nVidia Quadros, 8 GBs of DDR 3 RAM, 256 GB SSD (2 TB 7200 RPM external drive) with Windows Vista Business SP1 64-bit and you gotta smokin' setup.

except Vista will suck to many unwanted Cpu cycles for no reason
you'd be better of With Windows 7 or XP

if you really want better performance for money it's better to invest in a SSD

was to mine
