I5 will be just fine. Save the difference in price over an i7 and buy an SSD hard disk. Disks are the major bottleneck these days.

What chip sets do you recommend for users who do lots of multitasking and data analysis with spreadsheets and websites? Would a low end i5 be sufficient or should I bump up to an i7? These workstations will have a 5-yr warranty so I want to be sure they will still have some power beyond the first couple years of use.
