I keep reading reports about Vista and XP and how they handle multiple monitors. I'm in the market for a brand new PC to handle my 5 toons. I've already invested in the accounts (70 war, 63 sm, 46 pal, 46 lock, 46 mage) so it's only a matter of deciding on the hardware setup. I had the Shaman and Warrior on seperate accounts in the past, but after discovering this site I've been three boxing the lowbies. When I get them in the same level range, I'm gonna need a beefier computer to play all 5.

I've got a 19" mon (1280x1024) that I'm working with now. I'll probably put 4 toons on this mon and then use a seperate mon for my main.

I'm looking to start with a good foundation machine that can run 5 accounts and then add monitors down the road. From the information I've researched so far, I think I want a quad core intel with maxed out ram and an a geforce graphics card.

Anyone have any recommendation on the specs of the PC I should purchase? I have somewhat of a unique problem in that I'm living abroad and my language skills in my host environment kind of sucks. So I need to be as specific as I possibly can when asking for the hardware. I just can't say I want an intel quad core, I need to say "q6600" but then i'm fuzzy on the rest of the options that are out there.

And another big question is will I want XP or Vista to start handling my 5 box setup starting with 2 monitors with the potential of expanding to 3 or even 5?

Thanks in advance.
