Does that mean that the visualisations are renderer limited rather than
CPU limited? I was of the impression that the OpenGL aspects of the GPU
helped but a fair amount of CPU was also involved hence my questioning the
performance of a single core Atom.

Payday next week so I need to know whether I order the Zotac or not!!
