Thank you. &nbsp;That is what we ended up deciding on. &nbsp;We knew the video card was a huge factor but I also wanted to make the best choice with the processor as well.

I have a question about processor choices for a machine that is going to be running a GIS applciation as well as AutoCAD. &nbsp;We are looking at two different machines, one with an Intel i7 930 Quad Core processor or one with an Intel Xeon E5620 Processor. <br />
<br />
I need opinions on the preferable processor choice for this machine. &nbsp;Any input would be appreciated.<br />

Thanks!

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based global navigation satellite system (GNSS) that provides reliable location and time information in all weather and at all times and anywhere on or near the Earth when and where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. A geographic information system (GIS) or geospatial information system is any system that captures, stores, analyzes, manages, and presents data that are linked to location(s). In the simplest terms, GIS is the merging of cartography, statistical analysis, and database technology.
