All,

I am in the enviable position of getting a new desktop at work (since I'm
on XP).

There is no budget per se, but that does not mean I have carte blanche.
I'm thinking what will be the best bang for the buck. I use green
screens, RDI, Chrome (Google Apps for business), and Firefox, primarily.

It will be Win 7 64-bit. I'm thinking 8gb memory. i3 or i5 processor? i3
is dual-core with hyperthreading. i5 is quad-core without hyperthreading.

What about SSD instead of a hard drive? Anybody have experience here?

Thanks.
