Video cards make a *huge* difference in performance on a PC, especially one running WinXP's ugly Luna interface (the Windows Classic UI is far less video intensive).

Yes, this is exactly what I'm saying. The stock 256 MB GeForce 7300 GT video that comes with the MacPros is already *way* above the ceiling for typical PC tasks. Going to a higher-end video card is not going to improve 2D or video performance one bit -- the difference between the GeForce 7300 GT and the other high-end cards Apple offers is 100% in 3D performance, which doesn't make even the slightest big of difference when running the OS, or 2D apps like Finale.
