Also, do you NEED a separate Video Card - if just for business use, would onboard suffice? The E4600 is basically the lowest spec Core 2, but again fine for business use. Price seems high if no operating system, but would depend on Case/PSU spec etc etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
