Well as for dual displays--- I don't know yet, I have not been able to get my hands on a 2nd 23" Cinema... yet. Found 2 locally in the Philadelphia area on CL, but they are asking for $800 and $600 respectfully. I don't think so. I'll wait until a nice one that looks good on ebay becomes available, and get it.
As for the MP Octad- WOW! I have only had it up and running since about 7am and it is super fast at opening apps and displaying graphics. The real test for me will be once I get Parallels loaded with ecchhh!! XP, and then the vertical market software that is basically the reason I got this mac.
It's a Windows program that takes Cone-Beam, CAT scan (Dicom) images, runs the image data thru it's processing algorithms and creates an incredible display of a 3-dimensional, ultra-accurate skull. It's used to analyze and plan for the surgical placement of dental implants. I have it running well on my venerable MBP 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo, but seems only capable of working in a Parallels virtual environment or Bootcamp. It's really an amazing tool.
