BTW would a G210 GPU work ok do you know? Or does it specifically have to be a GT210?

Geforce 210 512MB

Make sure it is the 210 512MB because the 1GB causes issues.

"Afaik" the i5/i7 Intel HD Graphics work fine - why not use those and save the discrete graphics chip?

Seriously, get 4gb of ram and G530.

So if I went for the Celeron, I wouldn't need a dedicated GPU card right?

You will need because only the HD3000 supported.

You need at least i3-2105 for the integrated gpu to work.
