Well, if he starts doing heavier work such as Blender, After Effect, programs by the Foundry they usaully recommend quad cores. Also, you get a good amount of RAM and ghz and with the others you have to sacrifice one for the other.]]></content>

Here is what is listed for the graphics:
	"ATI Radeon HD 3000 integrated graphics with up to 1696MB Total Available Graphics Memory as allocated by Windows 7"

Not sure what this really means.  So would you still say the graphics are good?]]></content>

None of them have a video card but do have "integrated graphics".  So which one would be best suited for making stop frame animation movies?

HP Presario CQ5720F AMD Athlon II Dual-Core 2.90GHz Desktop PC - 3GB RAM, 640GB HDD, SuperMulti DVD, Fast Ethernet - Refurbished  $250

HP Pavilion Slimline s5702f AMD Athlon II X2 Dual-Core 2.80GHz Desktop PC - 4GB RAM, 1TB HDD, SuperMulti DVD, Wireless 802.11b/g/n - Refurbished  $260

HP Pavilion Slimline s5737c AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.0GHz Desktop - 3GB RAM. 500GB HDD, SuperMulti DVD, Fast Ethernet, 6-in-1 card reader - Refurbished  $279
