That processor is more than fine for her needs. For reference, the E5200 is faster in almost every case than the Pentium 4 extreme edition 955, which was clocked at 3.46 Ghz had two cores and hyperthreading »www.anandtech.com/bench/default.···66&p2=93 |

| I just read a review of another machine that has this same processor (E5200) that has a nVidia GeForce 9200 Integrated Graphics card (instead of the Intel 4500HD) and it said that streaming video was sometimes choppy. I am wondering why this is the case. I can't imagine any system with a decent processor and card could not stream celarly.
Is the 4500HD a better card for streaming? |

Based on my previous post, should I be safe and upgrade the system to Pentium E7400 (2.80GHz, 3MB L2 Cache) with NVIDIA® GeForce® 9300M GS GPU with Total Available Graphics Memory of 2030MG. |
