no clue. some times I look at this site:  http://

but in reading your post, it sounds like your most pressing need is

1.Screen "real estate" and

2. RAM

My reading is that a Mac Pro offers little advantage over, say, an  
iMac in 2D/print work. There are some who feel they need every last  
gram of computer muscle, so they flip for the 2 or 3-times more  
expensive kit.

I went MP last year because I do 3D, and that activity is all about  
maxing your ghz/dollar ratio.

Some of my print clients happily bang out their weekly pubs on G4 Mac  
Minis with 1 gig sticks.

these are some things to consider when evaluating how much you'll  
spend and what it'll actually get you.
