My boss just purchased a new PC (P4 3 gHz, 1024mb of ram) and shes has had serious performance issues with 2D graphics application like Photoshop and Illustrator.

She called the store where she purchased it and they told her to buy a new video card because it was using onboard. I argued that he was trying to make her buy something she didn't need..... I was under the impression that a good processer, extra scratch disk and a lot of ram was the main thing, and a video card didn't matter because it's mostly for 3D handling.

I could be very wrong... can someone clear this up?
