| 749679 | 2009-02-20 20:57:00 | I'm looking at speccing a machine for someone who won't be playing games so wonder whether the Intel onboard graphics (G31 or G43) are good enough. I know a lower end graphics card isn't much cost these days but if it isn't needed then why use the extra power and possible extra fan noise? He will be feeding a fairly new 22" LCD wide screen monitor. I guess, in any event, a graphics card can always be added later. TIA for comments. |
