    I use the onboard graphics (Intel i3) and am impressed with the results on World of Warcraft. If you wanna waste years of your life spec'n everything out then there are plenty of forums and people to argue with you. Running Windows 7 without a hitch. Watch, the new i7's will be good for writing the odd email and word processing on the forums in two years. (Read More)

    in a few days, sandy bridge and a new socket 1155 will be officially announced, and this i3 along with 1156 socket will obsolete, but this does not bother me, it provides good value on my build of vmware home lab, paid $160 AR with a bundle of MSI motherboard.

    This is my first i-series CPU. I have an E7500 in another system. This i3 is outperforming the E7500 by a whopping 75%. This is a great multitasker. Hyperthreading makes it appear like a quad-core processor to the OS. The on-chip graphics processor is adequate for HTPC but forget about gaming. (Read More)

    I bought this as a part of bundle deal for my budget upgrade.

    So far it's very good. I don't do much gaming. But i do run dual monitors. (Read More)
