I'm just in the process of speccing a Powermac for work. It'll be primarily used for Final Cut Pro, Motion and a bit of Photoshop. I'm going to be using 2 x large Monitors (undecided as to which at the moment), and it'll either be the Dual 2.3 or the Dual 2.7. My questions are twofold:
1: If I end up with the Dual 2.3, the upgrade to the 9650 is a given (£23.50 - seems crazy not to have included it in the first place) but is it worth upgrading the 9650 to the Nvidia 6800 (£258.50) for the applications I'm going to be using?
2: Which monitors? Obviously I'm tempted by the Apple 23" Cinema Displays, but I see good things about the Dell 24" displays. CRTs may be better for colour, but I'll have a 9' Sony video preview monitor for that sort of thing in Final Cut anyway.
Many thanks in advance.
