However, with todays motherboards being more advanced in design and the leaps in hardware integration you probably wouldn't notice the difference. Having said all that... in my personal experience you'd probably find that an AGP graphics card on it's own would prpbably more often than not deliver better perfomance than one which has been intergrated onto the motherboard. Intergrated cards share system memory and sometimes under certain conditions they may cause problems with system crashes etc. My best advice is if you're a gamer or use graphically intense programs you'd probably be better off using an AGP card in it's own slot on the motherboard rather than the integrated graphics engine on the motherboard. chiefnz :)	chiefnz (545)
