Multi Tasking meant to me having multiple applications open. I might have a MMO http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M...ultiplayer_online_game open, as well as an IDE, photoshop, web browser, instant messenger, and some servers running the the background. I was thinking about Losing the 4870...

This computer is probably going to last me 4-5 years, i never upgrade, always broke lol. I'll up my budget if need too but currently shooting for $600 unless I can't cut it, seems to me that that won't be the case. I was thinking about going from HD 4870 to HD 4850, but since i wont be...
