Just about. 

I did check Tom's and the "Mother of all CPU charts."  I'm almost
thinking of buying 2 PCs with 'equivalent' CPUs and a couple of different
(yes PCI Express) video cards (ATI and NVidia) to experiment with our mix
of applications.  AutoCAD and Photoshop are used heavily.

The FireGL Z1-128 cards I was buying are now apparently obsolete, the V3200
is probably what I will buy next.  I used the Raptor drives, they have been
trouble free so far.

Do you have a preferred RAM manufacturer?
