I use an onboard video card (8MB?) in an 800MHz Pentium 3, 512MB RAM PC. I can't compare speeds to a 32MB video card but the speed of my editing is fine. Maybe I don't appreciate the speed of a 32MB video card but I can't imagine a huge difference when I manipulating 27MB (8 bit) or 55MB (16 bit) images. Changes in PS7 are very quick, a fraction of a second usually. Scanning is a different story but that has nothing to do with the video card.
