After a hard days designing it's nice to blow stuff up.

Here is my dilemma
buy a FX1700? Good for Solidworks , sucks with the latest games
buy a Geforce 8800GT? Can be problematic with solidworks rocks withgames

Is the solution to put one of each into the PC (not in SLI mode)with 2 (or 4 monitors) and then make sure I match the applicationwith the monitor attached to the correct card.

Anybody else tried or thought about this approach?

An alternative would be a FX3700 but it's kind of pricey and I haveto pay for it up front, whereas I can add the gaming card later(and keep an eye out for a bargain)


Here are the numbers
