Figures,

Whats happended is that we bought highend desktops for 3D animators, bad 
idea (they are used to at least 6Ghz of processing power and atleast 2Gb 
RAM with maybe a NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000 as a compramise) so when we gave 
then P4 2.6Ghz with 1Gb memory and bog standard qudaro's,, they soon 
borke nd we need to find a decent workstation to replace them for the 
region of £3-4k each.

We are considering building them ourselves to cut prices but what 
management have speced so far aren't too good.
