I am not sure the brand of the graphics card, it came with the computer... Supposedly the orginally owner used it for CAD or CATIA, something like that... But my main focus for the computer is read speed of the 2 Tb hard disk... I will be linking the computer to a Western Digital TV Live Hub Media Center which will be in the Living room for the home theater setup... I want to store movies on the desktop and stream them to the tv in the living room... Since i want to stream HD movies i needed some serious throughput... The network adapter on the computer is 1000/100/10 based, so the only limitation i see will be the on the box on the TV.... The main thing i was looking for is a motherboard with a onboard Raid controller, luckily this one has both SCSI and SATA, the dual Xeon processors were just a bonus....
