So this computer is probably overkill for me, but what can I say- I just want my computers to be fast.  I only use it for office applications, but have noticed faster program load speeds and install speeds of different softwares.  I don't use any auto CAD programs or something with similar draw, so can't really vouch for performance much beyond that.  However, after a month- so far so good and I would feel comfortable at this point recommending this computer to others who like the idea of bigger and faster.  I've only tested it out with 2 monitors to date, but it had 2 video cards and quite a few more ports, so I'm assuming it could handle more if I had another monitor.Update- Okay, I've now owned this computer for about 8 months and I still absolutely love it.  I have another fast computer at home and this one still kicks it's trash.  I also have 3 monitors hooked up to it with different display sizes 2- 27" and 1 35"- wide screen (same height as a 27" just wider) and everything comes through without distortion.  Very happy with this computer and would recommend it to others still.
