Got tg loaded in my new box -16 Gig - I7 (3770) with 4 cores hyper-threaded- (TG sees 8 cores) set up with 3 monitors (Desktop on oldest, TG on the 27" and the render on the third). I also use Cinema4D and Turbocad Pro so my performance in all is much faster. Both of those can make use of multiple monitors.

Only problem now is that I have to give up my coffee/scotch breaks during rendering. ;D ;D

Sort of a post script - When and If you upgrade, think about using a local computer shop. I've been using the same one for many years. They can sometimes save you a bundle of cash. For instance, my upgrade kept the same case, power supply, etc and replaced the motherboard and cpu for a lot less than buying a new box on the open market. I did an upgrade to a 1T-byte Raid 1 so backups can be less frequent.
