Oh, I didn't mean to imply that this image was state of the art, more that you don't need a dedicated graphics card (or even one of those fancy 8700G APUs) to use the tools now. Previously it was "well yeah, you can do it at home, but you need something good from NVIDIA" - that's still the fastest way, but not required.
(Technically it works on the CPU cores as well, but I wouldn't advise that as the result was several times slower, i.e. glacial.)
