A workstation card is expensive and used for CAD and animation. I think you had "business/office card" in mindWell, it depends. It might be used for something else in the future.....and why not a wkst card? Not all of them are expensive (I think)
You've got a fairly high end CPU, top notch motherboard and 3rd rate video system but then again you're looking for a system to do office applications and suchPraetor.... could you explain the bottleneck?!? please?
Absolutely. Spend the money for the processorIMO the setup looks fine. If you're not gaming you could get by with a lesser gfx card, integrated even.
You forget we're talking about office applicationsAnd IGP is not good b/c eventually it blows
He does that a lot.You state that like its a fact.
Again you fail to realize these are office applications in mindIt probably is.....2 old('94-'95) comps that had IGP, both blew, end of both, couldnt' switch it to a card.....but that prolly won't happen for this one. A card is better anyway, no matter what.
Except the system is an office machinewell, all I was pointing out is that you have to have a powerful PC to play games like that.
