It's time to buy a new computer and I want to cater it to my poker needs. I want to be able to do the following at the same time with basically no lag:

-14+ tables across multiple sites with HEM and HUD going from 1 million+ hand db
-run realplayer
-AIM
-datamine an additional 20 or so tables
-run espn/yahoo gametime, gamecast
-have spreadsheets and word documents open
-having zone alarm and AVG running their realtime protection
-browsing interweb

I'm going to run multiple monitors so I need a video card(s) that can handle that. Most people say poker is not graphic intensive and I'm not going to be gaming on this machine so what cards will do? I've been told 2 HDs with a very fast one just for the db is optimal.

Thanks in advance

You might get better answers in a computer forum, i use a Dell XPS 620 and it should be more than capable of doing this, you can usually customise it to your liking
