Andrew, I have had my Cube since they were first shipping. The only thing I have done is maxed out the memory and put in a 120gig drive - when they were first introduced and expensive. If you are just using her as web surfing and email you do not need to replace the video card. I do the same thing with mine and use Photoshop when I need to when receiving layouts or images from friends and clients. I never have had a problem. Plus since she is so small, I have been known to use her to shoot into when my main computer broke down. Unless speed is utmost important, why change a good thing?
