Hey Sune,
Sounds like a nice setup. I checked out what info they have on
Dell's site and I would say that is a great machine (comes with the
E7525 chipset I mentioned). The Nvidia Quadro FX 3400 is a really
great graphics card if your doing any work in 3d, animating objects,
text or 3d containers within 3d spaces. If you don't do a lot of
animation then I wouldn't spend the extra money (I think that cards
over $1000 US. Personally, I would love to have that card. Great with
After Effects, Boris Red, most likely any 3d, open GL stuff, not to
mention great gaming). Overall, it looks like a great machine out of
the box. Good choice.
