How good would this run Secondlife (Firestorm)?

Hi leGustav,

The CPU is more than fast enough, the GPU less than fast enough. Here's a benchmark page showing the relative performance of various graphics processors. There's a search box on that page with autocomplete, making it fairly easy to find a particular card...

The 8330 under consideration scores 345. An entry level Intel processor with HD 4000 graphics scores 456. Integrated graphics units, which must fight the CPU for access to memory, generally perform poorly on graphics intensive games like SL. A modest dedicated graphics adapter like an nVIDIA GTX 650 scores 1840.

If you can stretch your budget to cover a dedicated graphics adapter, you'll have a much better SL experience.

Good luck in your hunt.
