BTW, you have realised that the four core processors do not include a built in GPU ? You will need a video card as well. The two core processors have the GPU, but the four core one uses that space for the extra cores. I think this is sensible because nobody is going to build a high performance machine and then use on chip graphics, so the GPU would basically be wasted.<br>
