Quad core processor, 4gb ram, 8800GT vid card. Maybe a Raid0 setup for the hard drives.

You could get two, although it'd probably be better to get a 512 MB 8800GTS.

Cost for a system like this depends on where you are in the world and where you source the parts from.

2 video cards isn't totally necessary... but is optional. You're going to want Windows Vista, because using more than one monitor you need Vista to render both monitors correctly.

Price? I don't know... you might be able to squeeze it on $1k... but probably looking between $1k-$1.5k

ok ok sorry im not like a comp expert :P but why would a 512mb 800gts be better than 2 graphics??

Also you would need vista to upgrade to 4gigs, Xp only supports up to 3gigs

Actually you need a 64 bit Operating system. Windows XP 64 bit will work.

*ahem* just a heads up: the new HD2900-serie, according to the word on the "street, scored higher than the 8800 serie and it's cheaper.
