Thanks a lot for the reply! I have ordered it now. My only concern really was that the graphics card would hold it back, but after checking out some reviews it seems like it should be ok, I hope...

That combination of CPU and GPU would do a lot for you already. Just hope the software is being patched to use the combined performance. Let us know how you like it once you have it.-

" Just hope the software is being patched to use the combined performance " Would you mind elaborating a little more? Ill be sure to post a review on these forums once I've used the computer!

Hardware is always ahead of software wink.gif it takes some times for the software part to take advantage of the better specs.

I see! Yes I bought this fully aware that most programs won't take advantage of all the cores, but hoping that someday soon they will!
