    MB Desktop Pro - focus on CPU or GPU?

    True. I downloaded free MSI Afterburner, and watched the actual GPU usage. It didn't go above 15% (of the Mobility Radeon HD 3650) ((The Intel HD 4000 will be twice as powerful, so that'd be closer to 8%)) "as a rule of thumb, only software supporting OpenCL or CUDA technology will use...

    Re-Think- What video card, CPU speed, and Drive speed is Actually needed/Used?

    For desktop charting/trading software: graphics use is relatively minimal: -the current bar extends up or down and changes color as it updates -indicators move and update -when a bar-period ends, the chart shifts one step to the left -L2 and other data are the only other moving images...
