I collected the following specs from a friends machine that he is using at work. So what can he buy to 'equal' his machine at work?

As you can see this machine is for desiging stuff; 3D studio, Macromedia products and Adobe products


Buying a Xeon and a 3Dlabs wildcat are expensive, but what can almost produce almost the same power. Like a p4 compared to this p3 xeon (as example). Or is the performance to great that there is no equal?
