The 5200 will be comparable to a low end P75 in speed. A better choice would be the 7200/90 which will run a few dollars more ($1800 w/o monitor, so let's say $2100 with the same cheap monitor you're planning to put in your $2000 PC), but will run rings around your P75. -- Regards, Joe Ragosta -- 100% Chemical and proud of it.
