Who knows? It's a $999 card. If it is true, it would be so worth it to people who want a GTX 680 SLI config yet would like the convenience and less power consumption of 1 card.

Fathers been looking on BestBuy.com for a computer for me. The reason hes going to bestbuy is because he has an assload of giftcards he can use.
Hes looking mainly at refurbished computers, and he thinks hes found one good.

Im no computer expert, but I think this is OK. Only thing I would do would be replacing the Graphics card with sometthing better.

I just ordered an HP with 8GB ram, AMD A8 clocked at 1.8 ghz, 2x AMD Radeon 6755G2 both with 1 gb of vram.
Weighs only 6 pounds which is good I'm pretty sure.

So I took off a plate from my laptop to clean the fan. Now that it's all dust free, it stops working. And then it starts. And then it stops again. Is this normal? That the fan only works when heat builds up?

Yes, typically most laptops do that to conserve energy on battery.

Considering some of you might know about this software, help me out a bit please.

I'd say processor. The first gen Phenoms are extremely weak.

I've already answered this, look for my reply.

Doesn't have two 6755's, that's just the power of both integrated and dedicated graphics chips put together in an APU environment.
