Hi robski
I use an Athlon 2200XP CPU and 1gb (2x512mb) standard memory in the computer I use for graphics and it handles everything I throw at it no problem at all. I've used AMD CPU's for years running all sorts of graphics programs etc., and I've never had a problem that I didn't cause myself! If an Intel CPU is faster on graphics, then I suggest that it is so marginal in normal computer use as to be insignificant. Bear in mind that nearly all the CPU tests are conducted with games in mind, this is a completely different ball game as most games are operating in 3D. If you want a significant improvement in 2D graphics then I suggest a MAC with a top spec 2D graphics card is more appropriate.
