Why are these Essential?

Photo/video editing is one of the most demanding tasks for modern computer systems. Whether you're compiling your home videos, creating professional short films or editing high quality photos, it's important to consider specialised hardware when customising your computer.

For this reason, nearly every digital video editing computer software package available recommends Dual Core / Quad Core CPUs.
