Thanks for the keyboard thing I will keep it wired (or bluetooth mayby?).

I want every station to have 2 monitor eventually, so will onboard graphic work?

The difference between AMD and Intel is not so big. As with most competitors, sometimes one of them has an advantage but overall they're quite close together.

I honestly wouldn't switch to a Quad, unless you can be certain the operating system and programs they are going to use is capable of making use of it effectively. For XP it's more or less just a lot of money for the virtual ruler, if you don't priorize processes manually.

The thing with wireless input devices on workspaces is, that people tend to care less and less about their working tools. So they will sooner or later run out of battery-power on any wireless-device. Even for those with a docking station, my experience is, that people tend to get lazy and just care less and less, until the keyboard or mouse fails in the wrong moment.

If you plan 2x22" monitors, I'd definitely go for a graphics card. Onboard-chips may support it, but the image-quality for 2 monitors with that resolution is probably not the best.
