I am running an i5 with 8 GB RAM and a 250GB SSD on a laptop. Performs great.
i5 will out perform the i3 as each core is running at the same time. With Hyper threading, only one of the threads per core is active, the other is staged and waiting on CPU.
Only thing I would add is put in a decent dual monitor graphics card.

Subject: [PCTECH] New desktop - advice for RDi
All,
I am in the enviable position of getting a new desktop at work (since I'm
on XP).
There is no budget per se, but that does not mean I have carte blanche.
I'm thinking what will be the best bang for the buck. I use green
screens, RDI, Chrome (Google Apps for business), and Firefox, primarily.
It will be Win 7 64-bit. I'm thinking 8gb memory. i3 or i5 processor? i3
is dual-core with hyperthreading. i5 is quad-core without hyperthreading.
What about SSD instead of a hard drive? Anybody have experience here?
