Heyyo,

Don't even bother this this. Its full name is Intel INTERGRATED extreme graphics. So yeah, it's intergrated, no pci slot. I figure the main reason intergrated graphics suck is that their bus seems to be less important than agp, and probably pci too.. another guess of mine is that no company has truly focused on intergrated gpu's, and that most of them share its ram with your system ram.

For PCi cards, you could try like, the ati radeon 9550... but I really don't like PCI videocards cause the bus is too slow for most new games..

I think eventually, integrated's going to be the fastest out there once they can make them not suck so much since they're already integrated to the computer.

Get Marathon Here
Get Marathon 2 and Infinity Here

the hardware sucks, which means they would need to completly remake the motherboard, and there is no possibility of upgrading just your video because you would need to replace your entire motherboard to do that. Integrated may be faster sometime down the road, but I ain't gettin it cause I want the upgradability of normal graphics cards.

Heyyo,

Yes, definately too much space. Look at how most mobo's are now, crammed, so if you tried to intergate that? you'd have to make the mobo's bigger.

I suggest external anywho, for upgradability, plus intergrated graphics are underdevelopped. Even the latest ones don't seem to be made for at least DX8...
