We have a big Dell 490 coming our way, and I'm wondering what we're going to be able to do with it. Most likely we'll just use it as a general purpose home computer for now.

2x Xeon X5355
GTX 285
12GB RAM
60gb SSD/1tb HDD
750w
Windows 7 64

I understand that it was meant to double as a server, but what else is it capable of? Will it run any modern games? Graphic design or something similar?

If it runs BFP4F on the lowest settings it will be a vast improvement over what I have now. Just looking for realistic expectations, or what games I should and should not be looking at.
 
Solution
I use a 490 with one Xeon 5080, and a 8800 GTS. You will get something out of it, that is for sure, but don't expect ultra settings without a new(er) GPU.
