Revit 2011 - basic sample project and graphic card help  

Quick questions:


In REvit 2011 and previous versions there is always "basic sample and advanaced sample project" visible. Are these files already completed or are there instructions hidden so one can recreate these models?

Revit 2011 - computer specs:
I'm looking to get a new computer/DEll INspiron but the graphic cards Dell offers don't appear on the REvit support list?
Any suggestions or am I not well informed?

Thx

With as many cards and card options as there are I'm suprised Autodesk can keep up.  If you stick to families that are currently approved you shouldn't have too many issues - i.e.  NVIDIA Quadro, ATI FireGL etc.
