I'm not answering your question, sorry, but... why not look at some
nSeries Precisions instead? I'm pretty sure the price would be similar
for a similar configuration, and you could probably get a factory
installed graphics card that matches your needs. I'm also pretty sure
that it would be less noisy, which might be an important point
depending on where that "workstation" will be located (i.e. right next
to a "worker" ;-)).
