I do not work for Appian I had an APPIAN X on my former workstation ( with win pro 2000 as well) and it works great. As i sold it and want to buy a new one ( with 4 EIZO flat screen 17') i heard of the rushmore. So my threat was just to help me in my choice. I will take the appian X. Perhaps your configuration works great and is cheaper but i know appian and their soft is good.
