and id rather have that OVERKILL graphics card then an OVERKILL processor. its all your opinion of what needs to happen. id rather graphics, and games, go smoothly with 256 ram, then have my aplications all run smoothly with a 2.8 (which actually isn't top of the line, or near it. near it is 3.2 or 3 )
besides, my graphics are sort of hurting (i guess) but my processor is fine 800mhz Duron.
