The gschem/pcb tools do not take advantage of multi-core.  Your money
is better spent on faster graphics and higher GHz, I think.

If you do go multi-display, with Linux at least, make sure your card
has one GPU and not two or you'll suffer X performance.  I have four
monitors and it took a while to find a card that worked well (ATI
Radeon HD 6870).
