Base system. You need or want super video... pay for it. If you don't, you don't have to.

if its a base system why the 2 x dual core processors? I rather have 1 dual core processor(Core 2 Duo) and a 7800 or 7900...

Base system = Apple's recommended starting configuration.

You can downgrade the processors to a single Dual core for less money. They will be happy to customize one for you.
